We finally finished! Chareen and Bryce graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. We walked at the Commencement Excercises on Thursday April 24th. Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke. Our parents came from California to be there with us. Chareen's sisters and grandmother were also there. It was nice to finally be finished.
We also went to our convocations in our colleges. It was nice for Bryce to be able to be there with so many of his friends from the program. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Special Education. He was so grateful for his friends Sam, Jodie, Alicia and others who had supported him along the way. We were suprised when Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve was also there. He was attending to honor his grandson who was also graduating from the college. After the program, Bryce even got to take a picture with Elder Perry.
We stayed on campus until Chareen's graduation. Our parents treated us to some BYU sweatshirts and other stuff to remind us of our time at BYU. We were grateful for them not only being with us, but also giving us several gifts. It was a nice time to spend with them.
Chareen recieved her Masters of Art degree in Theatre Arts. It was a hard road to get her thesis done. None of her friends were able to attend or hadn't finished yet, so there were few people to talk to during the program. We were also really tired from getting up early that mornining, so Chareen even started to fall asleep on stage.
After a long seven years for us, we are finally finished at BYU. We are going to miss campus. BYU truly is a different university and we will miss it. We loved BYU football, devotionals, friends, and faculty. It will be hard to leave, but we are really looking forward to a new life back home in California.
Bryce will teaching in the Woodland JUSD in Woodland, CA this fall. We will be moving there in August after some vacations this summer. We will traveling to Texas to visit Bryce's mission and also to Hawaii with Bryce's family.
