Con-GRAD-ulations!

It’s official.  Alyssa is entering the next phase of life.  She moves in to the dorms at BYU in two weeks!  I’m so excited for her.  Even though I started to cry as I typed the above sentences.

Itineris Early College High School graduate.  She also received her Associate of Science degree from Salt Lake Community College, with honors.  She was one of only two National Merit Scholarship Finalists in her graduating class.  And we’re not proud of her at all, not one bit.  :)

Graduation took place at Thanksgiving Point and it was beautiful!

I had flashbacks to the night before my high school graduation because I spent last night the same way I did 23 years ago—sewing a dress for graduation and finishing in the wee hours of the morning.  Brian told me that if I’m planning to make her wedding dress, I should get started now so that I won’t have to stay up all night before she gets married.  And no, that is not something any of us are planning on any time soon, Brian was just trying to be “helpful”.

Happy Mothers' Day!


I love this cute poem written by 10-year-old Jillian.
