I simply had no idea how THRILLING the entire experience would be!
On Friday, April 22, 2011, I graduated from Brigham Young University.
My 61st birthday had been 5 days earlier, and I gave myself the most exciting gift
I have had in a LONG time!
In front of the fountain north of the ASB
Jeff captured the moment just seconds after I was handed my Diploma
(COVER only, of course)
Jeff, Paul, Gwen, Teagan, Maycee and Brad outside the Marriott Center
Ellen Allred, director of the BGS (Bachelor of General Studies program)
has been my sweet friend since I was 5 years old!
Jeff and I in front of the Maeser Building. A young man driving some folks
on a tour around the campus LEAPED from his golf
cart and asked if we'd like to have both of us in the photos Jeff had been taking!
BGS held a celebration, complete with Cosmo. Brad was pretty thrilled!
See the cameras and microphones on the right?
Next thing I knew, I was being interviewed, and my friend from
Nauvoo (Irene) who was in Provo for her daughter's graduation,
texted me the next day to say she saw me on TV that evening.
All in all, we had a GREAT time. Ate too much, and slept too little,
but then, it was a "once in a lifetime" experience!
