Graduation 2008

I am so PROUD of Matt! On May 3rd he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Electrical Engineering! Those of you who may not know, Magna Cum Laude means he graduated with a GPA of 3.80 or higher. Considering the fact that this is an incredibly difficult degree and that he was also helping me raise a baby the last two years of school, this is a HUGE accomplishment! I cannot express the love and appreciation I have for this amazing man.
Many came to help celebrate this wonderful occasion. Both sets of parents flew in from San Diego, his Grandad flew in from Alabama, and his sister came all the way from Norway (well actually she has been out here visiting the states for a little while now, but hey, she is living in Norway, and did come, so that counts right!!!) Not to mention many of his extended family living in Utah or nearby. His cousin Whitney also graduated on Saturday, so unfortunately their extended family had to split between the two ceremonies. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this celebration!
PS Unfortunately we were unable to get a picture of Matt actually accepting his diploma being that this jerk stood up in front of us just as Matt was walking. We were very disappointed and this jerk could have cared less. How rude! But we didn't let that ruin our day and instead headed to old main for some beautiful shots :)
