Brittany's Graduation

Brigham Young University has two graduation ceremonies. The first day is called Commencement and the second day is with your individual colleges.Commencement is where the whole school assembles in the Marriot Center, which can hold about 35,000 people and it was packed to the brim that day. There was tree speakers - the president of BYU, Elder Bednar (from the Quorum of Twelve Apostles), and a student. The talks were very good and touched on "learn to love learning" and "continue to learn throughout your life and bless others with your knowledge".Afterwards we all met up at PF Changs for a family celebration. Chinese food is always a winner in our family! Here are pictures from the second day of graduation which was at 8am bright and early!This is where the college meets and they receive there diploma's. They are grouped together based on their degree. There was two speakers that day and the ceremony lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes. Brody slept the whole time, but Rylee got a little restless. Too long if you ask me, but it was all well worth it so we could watch Brittany walk! Congrats Brittany!!!
