Graduation!

I did it! I actually did it! David and my whole family (especially Mom) kept saying, "we knew you could do it", but I didn't know that I could! We survived the month of October, it was rough going in to, full of a lot of break downs and not knowing how I would do with David in Canada the week of my finals and Comprehensive, but with a lot of prayers and help from my family and neighbors we got through. David was suppose to come home the day before my final comprehensive (the test determining wether I could graduate or not) but because of bad weather he was delayed until wednesday night...after my test. My dad and Mary were already in Idaho, I called just a little upset and emotional needing some support and they changed their plans and came to my rescue. I needed a hug and some confidence before taking my test, oh yeah, and a babysitter!
That was the most nerve wracking test I've ever taken, but I did a whole lot better than I thought I'd ever do. Then right after I drove to the airport and picked up my sweetheart, it was soooo good to see him after I'd been so stressed!
The next day Jenny and Tori joined the party and Friday was my dad's birthday and graduation.
Here are the pictures from the event:

All 4 sets of our parents, Jenny, Jessy, Michelle and Travis all were able to come to the Graduation. We ate at Roosters before it started.
Yay, I'm graduating!
My graduating class... I love these guys and I'm going to miss them dearly!

I thought it was pritty cool. The keynote speaker called me and another lady, Pam, up to give us special certificates for a perfect GPA. I can't deny, it felt pritty good to recieve that award, and it was awesome my whole family could be there to see it too.

When we came home my sweet neighbor had hung up a Huge banner across our garage and balloons on the banister, what a suprise! Thanks Jill & Chris!
And thanks to my sweetheart, I couldn't have done any of it without you. I was very fearful of starting school, afraid I wouldn't do well or be teachable, basically not be smart enough. But you having had full confidence in me from the beginning gave me confidence, and through the whole experience I think I'm finally able to see what you've been trying to tell me all along.
