Well, I have dedicated many of the last blog post to Jessica and her graduation activities, today is the day, the accumualtion of the past 13 years of education, the rite of passage into adulthood. She has meet the requirements to move on and move out, out into the world to be on her own.
The evening weather was beautiful, a cool breeze blowing, a temprature in the low eighties, no humidity. I don't think there could have been a more beautiful evening. We arrived early to Jiffy Lube Live, an outdoor ampitheater not the place you get a lube job for your car. We had a little picnic dinner in the parking lot and then Jessica went to find out where she needed to be. Once we were inside we enjoyed listening to some solos by some of the seniors. As you can imagine it took a while for a group of over 400 seniors to walk into the seating area. We watched intently to find Jessy walk in. The speakers were great short and to the point. I enjoyed the Salutatorian's words and she's been a friend of Jessica's. She asked the question if your life was compared to the 3 minutes she had to talk what would it be about? Would it be funny, or serious, or full of advice, or action? The handing out of diplomas was very efficient, but it does take a long while to to get to W's in the alphabet but it was fun to clap for everyone. I loved the people watching seeing the sunset and felt proud of Jessica as she crossed the stage into a new part of her life!! Onward to BYU I and into adulthood. New friends, new goliaths to conquer, and onto more happiness and joy! Thanks Jess for being so good and someone we are so proud of.
