Congratulations- We Did It!!!!!

This past weekend, Alana graduated from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Geography. Many of us made the trek to Provo for her big day, including our friend from the Czech Republic, Marketa. Both sets of Alana's grandparents were there along with her Aunt Helen, two brothers and her sister. As President of the Honors Program at BYU, Alana was one of the commencement speakers, as shown above.

Our family is pictured above directly following the graduation at the Marriott Center.
Marketa helped Alana to put on her cap and gown.
We decided that no graduation was complete without floating down the Provo River.
On our way back home, we decided to stop at In and Out Burger in St. George. What a pleasant surprise to run into Roxy and Larry on their way back from their honeymoon in California! Now it's official - we were part of their honeymoon.

Graduation was so special because I was surrounded by so many special people. Thank you for making the trek out to Utah. I felt so lucky to have you all there, especially since you have been so supportive.
