Well, it finally happened. Raven graduated with her M.A.! The university commencement ceremony was very nice. Elder Scott spoke and gave some excellent life advice including the charge to smile 🙂 It got pretty hot standing out in the parking lot in a long black robe and a velvet neck wrap in heels and almost 9 months pregnant, but it was worth it. The college convocation was also interesting and short–one of the benefits of graduating in August, as opposed to in April, is that the line of graduates isn’t nearly as long! Here are a couple pictures from the celebrations. And, just for the record, black isn’t my color and, really, who looks good in a graduation cap?

With Bryce and Amelie--and some random kid in the background. Oh, and Tigger, of course. And that growth on Amelie's leg is just Bryce's hand...
So, that’s all folks. I am officially done with school!

Congratulations! YEAH!!! I bet you are so glad your done. I can’t imagine standing there that long in black and heels. I’m so happy for you. You look really good. I hope you are feeling good too. I can’t believe how big and grown-up Amelie is getting. Are you going to move her out of her crib for the new baby? Take care.
