^Walking to class on our last day of school EVER!^
If you aren't too sick of seeing all the graduation pictures on social media, you should check out all of ours! It was such a great weekend and a perfect way to end our amazing undergraduate careers. (WARNING: Lot and LOTS of pictures ahead!)
^Last day of Finals!!!^
^ I made Clark take pictures too ;) ^
^And Jani took some great Grad Portraits for us!^
^I love this shot of the two "grad" couples!^
^Thanks for the portrait Jani!^
DAY 1 of GRADUATION
^Then on the morning of the big BYU Commencement Clark went golfing with my dad, grandpa, and his dad, while my mom/Grandma/Kaytee and I went to see the Thanksgiving Point Gardens again! ^
^And since it was beautiful, why not grab a few more graduation pictures at the gardens?^
^Kaytee! It's been so fun to live in Utah together, even though we didn't get together as often as we should have!^
^This lovely lady has helped me so much!!! I definitely wouldn't be graduating with out her help! Love you Mom!^
^In line for Commencement!Katie (left) was in my freshman ward and is currently my visiting teacher! and Lauren is going to NY with us! (and bakes fabulous cookies!)^

^Brian, Austin, James, and Clark!^
^Can you spot us?! Here we are at the BYU Commencement Ceremony!!^
^Danger boy!^
^New Cougars!^
^I just had to post this. Mike insisted on taking a photo of himself riding the cougar. And you wonder where Clark gets his fun personality?!^
^Lauren makes the CUTEST COOKIES EVER!!!!! These darlings were for our New York group graduation dinner. Thanks again to Jani and Lauren for putting it all together!^
^All the boys thought it would be funny to pinch our butts for this picture... they were right!^
^I am so grateful for these wonderful friends!^
DAY 2 of GRADUATION
^Little me at my 8am Life Sciences Convocation!^
^My grandparents, in-laws, and cute hubby! All there to support me :) ^
^Walking into the tunnel to emerge as a graduate! (Super cheesy, sorry!)^
^COLLEGE GRAD!!!!!!^
^Ok a tiny bragging moment for me. I graduated with Latin Honors (I graduated Cum Laude, but now that my 18 credits of A are in, I qualify for Magna Cum Laude status!) and I was inducted into Phi Eta Sigma (freshman honors society), was invited to join Gold Key International Honors Society (top 15% of graduates), and joined Phi Kappa Phi (the top 10% of each qualifying university's graduates are invited to join). It felt so good to have some recognition for all my hard work in school. And I really couldn't have done any of that without Clark. He has been the best influence on me, and always pushes me to do my best! I love you sweetheart!
^After my graduation ceremony we all went to Magleby's for breakfast, and then to the Sacred Gifts exhibit!^
^Then we were off to Clark's graduation ceremony! And he was such a sweetheart. I applied to walk with him and then changed my mind, but he asked me if I wanted to walk again so I could walk with him. So I did!^
^Some of our graduating NY friends! (thanks Liz for the pics!)^
^photo cred: Liz^
^WE ARE GOING TO MISS LIZ SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (photo cred: Liz)^
^Walking with the Marriott School!^
^There we are! All grown up and ready to graduate!^
^Clark was thrilled one of his favorite professors was the one handing out the diplomas!^
^Would you look at that?! We graduated (and I graduated twice!)^
^Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Rex^
^The Peterson Clan! (minus Matt/Min/Munchkins & Lauren/Anne)^
^Clark's fun family!^
^Tried to get a group photo outside, but the weather had other plans. Luckily we snagged one with Richard and Mani!^
^Maybe Utah was upset that we graduated and are leaving? So it threw a temper tantrum storm and made it impossible to take pictures outside? Just a theory^
^Then we were off to a DELICIOUS graduation dinner at La Jolla Groves. Such a gorgeous restaurant!^
The next day I went to Mckenna's baby shower (and we are praying the baby comes before we leave UT), and Clark went golfing with his Dad and cousins. They came home sopping! It was hilarious. But it was such a great morning, visiting with a lot of our relatives. Then we drove back to Provo for dinner and to watch BYU win the Volleyball Championship!
^At the game! It was so fun (and super crowded!)^
^Then we went to Sammy's for some pie shakes. And Clark and I decided it was only fitting we leave our mark on Provo.^
Now we are in the midst of moving.... worst thing ever!!! But we are taking our sweet time... because we're actually going to miss Provo, and being BYU students! We've had so many fun adventures here, it's going to be hard to leave. But we are SO excited for the adventures ahead! We are moving to CA for a couple months, going on a family trip to Hawaii, and then we are off to NYC!
^Gotta love living out of a suitcase. This will be my wardrobe for the next few months!^
^Hopefully by the next time I post we will be in Sunny California! And not in our messy moving apartment ;) P.S. - I'm just in the photo to give the massiveness of our moving heap some perspective^
