Some of us were lucky enough to go up and celebrate with her. Brad and I and Danny and Ryan arrived in time on Thursday to attend the huge graduation. I think they said there were 5 to 6,000 graduates. Elder Christopherson was the main speaker and it was really nice. Afterwards, Emily chose to celebrate with Indian food. We were a little skeptical to take the younger boys there, but decided to try it out. Everyone loved it! The only things that were missing were Taylor and Alex. Taylor is in the DR on his mission and Alex had to stay home for Volleyball and school.
The next morning it was raining, but it was still really nice. We picked up Emily and she and I ran into the Hinckley Building so she could meet the Pres. of BYU. Then we dropped her off and went on over to the Marriott Center. We got great seats. For the convocation, I think there were around 600 graduates in the School of Humanities. It was really nice too and this was the one where they actually call their name and give them the diploma. Then we got to go in building where Emily spent most of her time and meet one of her professors.

It was such a great weekend and we are so proud of her! I think she is a little sad that it is all over with, but she has a great future ahead of her too. She just found out last week that she was chosen for an internship in the Fall with the Liahona magazine! It is really prestigious and hard to get - plus they will pay her $13 an hour while she is doing it! I can't believe our little girl is all grown up :)
She might have been crying a little :)

This is the cute little house that Emily will live in next year. She will live in Provo and commute to Salt Lake to the church office building. She is really excited about it.
