One shouldn't need a reason to write in their blog... but I figure for me... now is as good as time as any. I sit here a new college graduate. I have finally recieved my BA from Brigham Young University-Idaho... and I can say I finally DID IT!! It's a good feeling... Surprisingly mixed.
There were a lot of moments today...When I met my parents and I realized they had driven a long way just to support me... when I was applauded for my accomplishments...Dad said he was proud of me... This was a long, hard road as Rob Eaton, my speaker at connvocation said... "take a moment when you reach the top of the peak and acknowledge your success... then look around and see what is next for you to climb." That is what this moment is... me realizing that I did a good job and I finished something. It's important.
After I hobbled across the stage... received my diploma case, I said goodbye to my parents and went to see Becca (from Summit) she's so great and she bought me yogurt to celebrate my accomplishment. I didn't realize that I needed this to be a big deal. It has taken me 9 years to get a piece of paper. But as I said before... I DID IT!! I then headed for home and as I listened to songs like "Life's a Dance", "Edge of Glory", and "Beautiful Goodbyes" I watched Rexburg fade into the distance in my rear view mirror... that was something I never thought would happen, I was very full of emotion... I still am. I watched a storm brew over the mountains and was awed at the beauty. I have a lot of decisions to make in my future... but for now I will appreciate this moment of success and be grateful for everyone who got me here.
