Last Night was Chris and Lindsay's graduation. We started off with the Graduation Banquet.


Even Parker was awake for part of the time.

President Clark, the University President, addressed those in attendance. President Uchtdorf presided and spoke to us as well. He talked about how the Temple, that now sits just above the campus, is Heavenly Father's temple and that our bodies are his true temple and we should care for our bodies as well as we care for the Temple.

After the Graduation we took some pictures of Chris and Lindsay after they put on their robes and went to the Hart center.

At commencement, we heard from President Clark and President Uchtdorf again. President Clark told the students to serve faithfully in church callings. President Uchtdorft talked about families and about how the graduates should go forth into the world and serve faithfully. There were 42 couples that were graduating together including Chris and Lindsay.

After the commencement, we prepared for the convocation. We took more graduation pictures.



Henry J. Eyring, VP of the School of Business spoke at the Convocation. He talked about having an "Autopia" experience, referring to the car at Disneyland. He noted that there is a metal rail down the middle and when you try to go off course, the metal rail puts you on. He told of how he had wanted to be an investment banker and planned a trip to Wall Street the week of the stock market crash of 1987 and how that changed his direction to where the Lord thought he would do best. He said that we should look for those experiences and yield to the Lord's will and that if we did our part, the Lord would help us to stay on the course we need to be.

The diplomas (or rather the diploma folders) were handed out:
After the convocation, we took more pictures. The snow held off until we got back to Idaho Falls and then the wind really started whipping up.
