An indescribable feeling

An indescribable feeling is how Taylor says he feels about the past couple days. It is still so surreal to him, but he is a BYU grad! He did it! We are all so proud of him. He graduated in the Family Life department with his Bachelors of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy. It has been a fun few days. Wednesday Taylor took his last final and we decided to celebrate and go out for sushi at Happy Sumo. Sooo good. We got lettuce wraps and edamame Taylor ordered the bacon crunch role and I got a California role. Thursday was commencement at the Marriott Center. Taylor decided to sit with me and Sage instead of wearing his cap and gown and sitting with the other grads. We both just really wanted to hear Elder Scott speak, which was so uplifting and inspiring. We are both very hopeful about our future as we start a new chapter in our lives. We celebrated once again by going to dinner to the Texas Roadhouse. (We usually do not eat out very much so it was a treat!) We got a baby blossom which is so delicious! Taylor of course got his favorite Chicken Critters and got a Grilled Chicken Salad. Texas Roadhouse is a favorite of ours. Today (Friday) Taylor's parents and Grandma Sargent came for convocation. (We missed Grandma Fenton, but hope she gets feeling better soon.) When we arrived the place was already packed and there were a ton of people who had whole rows saved and there wasn't anywhere to sit. We finally found two whole rows that were being saved and nobody in sight so we decided to sit. We moved the one jacket over. A few minutes later an irate women came to us and was upset we took her seats and said that we were so rude. And wanted to know what we did with all her stuff she had on the seats and how it was rude for us to throw her things around. It one was coat we placed on another seat! We told her that it was rude for her to save twenty some seats! She said she came early to save them. We came early too so we should be able to get a seat. It's one thing to save a few seats, but come on lady! Rows?! Get real. We didn't move. When the rest of her party arrived just a few minutes before the program started I explained to the lady next to me what had happened and asked her if she would apologize for us afterwards because I did not think she would want to hear from us herself. The lady in her party was really nice and apologized for her and explained that she was from Oregon! Figures! Haha Sorry Dan! Anyways, One thing I really liked that was shared during the program was the message that "Life is hard, but we can do hard things." Dr. Dean Busby talked to the grads about not being an "expert monster." He said in the field of Family and Social Sciences that many times graduates from this program think they are experts and know everything. I do not feel this is the case with Taylor, but when I asked him what he got from the program he said for him to remember to not be a know it all. I think he is a know it all, but in a good way! After the program we came back to our home and ate sandwiches, chips, and relishes. We had a yummy Razzleberry Pie. Thank you Tony and Jeanne for bringing everything! We had a nice time visiting and were so glad that Taylor's brother Tony came by too. The rest of the day has been so relaxing. We all took a nap, watched some Lost and ate some yummy leftovers. Life is oh so good and even better now that we are both done with school for a while!

We are your greatest fans! We are so proud of you!
