Amanda graduated from BYU on April 23rd, 2010. She is really excited to get a break from school, because she has been going straight for the past 4 years (not to mention high school). She graduated from the college of nursing, which is one of the best programs in utah. Her family flew out on wednesday evening and thursday was the big commencement for all the graduates in the Marriot Center.
There were about 6,100 graduates from the entire university, and they took up a good portion of the marriot center. Elder Christoffersen spoke, and I got to lead him and the graduates into the marriot center (see post below). Right after that was done we went outside and took pictures, then I had to run to my very last class of the semester.

The next day was the actual graduation where she walked. It was for all the nursing program. There were about 65 nurses graduating, and around 40 walked from December. It was exciting to watch her.
After the graduation ceremony we took more pictures in the Spencer W. Kimball Tower, then went to Training Table. Unfortunately it was raining that day, otherwise we would have gone and taken more pictures around campus. Friday night we had a BBQ then watched Blind Side. Saturday was a relaxing day. The girls had a wedding shower for Amanda's sister Annie in our back yard. While that was going on I went and hung out with Joseph, my little brother (I volunteer with Big Brother/Big Sisters of Utah) during the shower. Later that afternoon we grilled burgers, then went to the distribution center, then took them on a tour of provo. The girls took about half hour to look at dresses, then we all drove up to Bridal Veil Falls
Then we stopped off at the trail head to Y Mountain to show Mike and Rebecca the view of utah county.
It was a fun weekend. We drove them to the airport saturday night for a red-eye flight back to North Carolina. We'll see them all again this june when Annie and Ryan get married.
