Graduation!

Guysguysguys... I did it!

I graduated!
Cum laude. You know... no big deal.

UVU only does ceremonies in April, so I didn't get to walk or do any of the "Look, I did it!" stuff you'd kinda expect after all that hard work. I was a little bummed, but I figured it really just wasn't that big of a deal.

Lauren and Brittany decided otherwise.

( I have the best friends in the world. You might think yours are awesome, and they probably are... but mine are better. Sorry if that bursts your bubble... but it's true, and I can't help it.)

They told me they wanted a GNO before I moved away, so I showed up at Olive Garden at the appointed time. (I think they had planned on my usual 5 minutes late, so when I showed up on time they told me I had to wait outside. haha!)

When I got to the table, after getting permission, they surprised me with: 

a bouquet, 

a hand-made diploma, 

a card, and 

a picture frame with a photo of our last vacation together.

I seriously love these girls.

We had a HILARIOUS time at dinner, and luckily our server thought our antics were funny and not odd. 

Then as we were leaving they pulled out the last surprise. Lauren brought her graduation robe and hat and they told me we were taking pictures! 

So, this may be a little picture overload, but I really only get one shot at this. :)

I wish you could see the diploma they made in these pictures. It's so cute!

Me and B bein... us. :)

I may or may not have just hit her in the face with her own hat in this picture.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to mind. XD

I love these girls!!

...Even when they sneak-attack me on "three".

Gettin our 'tudes on.

The obligatory "jumping" picture... which really looks more like I'm trying to fly. haha

Thanks again you guys for making me feel special! I feel so lucky to have such amazing friends. :)

I love you both and I miss you so much already!! 

As soon as our house is done, y'all come on out and visit, ya hear?
