official

By some very large miracle BYU decided I had done enough and let me graduate. My diploma came in the mail last week making the whole thing OFFICIAL. **cue huge sigh of relief**


As I pulled it out of the envelope and held it in my hands, I was surprised at how much pride I felt having this single piece of paper. It's funny that one little piece of paper can mean so much- especially to the person whose name is on it. It was very unexpected to have so much emotion and memories flood over me, but it felt right. That one sheet of paper was all it took- that's really all I needed. 

 I learned volumes about myself, my Savior, humility, the incredible patience and love of my wonderful parents, how to work hard and how to bite some pretty large bullets, how to work with others, the importance of being an honest and upright woman, oh and a little bit about exercise science. BYU was one heck of a ride. Even though I am so happy to be done I am grateful for every minute that I was there.
