Graduation Part 2 (Congrats to Elissa!)

Elissa graduated with her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Modern Dance this past week from Utah Valley University. After what seemed like endless hours of juggling school, caring for Annissa, and being a great wife, it's finally time to relax. It will be great not having to go to class anymore even if being a full-time mom and wife is hardly relaxing.
Here is Elissa and one of her biggest fans, Annissa, waiting for the commencement to begin. Annissa definitely looks forward to having mom home more often.

Thanks to all those that were able to come to the graduation ceremonies.

Here are a few pictures of those in attendance.

Congrats Elissa! We Love You! (Posted by Jordan)

Congrats Elissa. Sorry I wasn't able to make it to either yours or Jordan's graduation ceremonies. With starting a new job, I was just a bit nervous about taking off too much time.
