Our Last Great Day at BYU-Idaho

Better late than never to post pictures...

Thomas and I both graduated!!! On July 22, 2011, we both graduated with Bachelors Degrees in Communication from Brigham Young University- Idaho. To make our big day even better, our parents came to commemorate the day with us. We had so much fun showing Juanita and Tom Sr. the town where we met and fell in love (my parents have been there many times, thanks to the closer proximity).

Anyway, here are the pictures to show that we really did wear big black robes and walk all legit on the stage and everything. It was seriously a great day at BYU-Idaho. My parents were there too, but these are the pictures from our camera and all the ones with them are on their own camera.

The best part of graduation was that Tom and I graduated together. We walked in together, sat by each other, walked the stage next to each other and in the same department! It was so incredible to be able to graduate with my favorite person.

That weekend, we all went to Yellowstone National Park. It was so much fun visiting that beautiful place again, even though we only stayed for a couple hours. Our amazing friend Erika Peterson got us passes to the park for free because she worked there. Thanks Erika!!!

The next day, we had to say goodbye to Tom's parents as they flew back to Miami. That's when the real work began. We had to pack up our apartment and drive to Arizona. We had our Ford Escape, our friend Jeremy's truck (with about half the bed for our use) and part of my Dad's jeep. We were able to fit all our belongings into these three vehicles and had three drivers to make the 15-hour journey, which we completed in one day.
