Matt graduated April 26th, 2013 from Weber State University. He graduated in Criminal Justice and Law Studies as his minor. I couldn't be prouder!!
Couldn't have done it without our parents, thanks guys!
Gov. Olene Walker spoke she grew up in Ogden. She did a great speech on are "you going to be a giver or a taker"? She also talked about how she went to a funeral and it was for a Postman and there were tons and tons of people there because he was a giving man. He would visit people in the hospital who were sick. We want to be like this man and be givers in the world.
She is very animated when she speaks. So fun. She is also like 90 years old, serious! she has a speech problem so sometimes you couldn't understand her, but she is amazing. I want to be like her at that age!
The audience members cheering him on, thanks for coming guys!
Where Olympics events were held.
Purple tie for Weber's colors (his diploma cover was purple)!!!! When I asked Matt how it was to sit there and be down with the graduates he responded...."The speaker was kind of boring.....and the kid next to me had bad breath". Ha Ha! He did have fun though and I made him walk and go and I don't think he regretted it, it was fun!! I do remember my graduation being boring though to, but you feel so accomplished walking.
We could not find Matt in the crowd of graduates, since everyone is wearing the same thing. So we took random pictures of people from behind and zoomed in so we could figure out which was Matt. Well when it finally came to announcing the names I still didn't know who was Matt. Then my sister Ang said, "Matt's very first!" Not prepared with my camera, I grabbed it as fast as I could in one hand and my air horn in the other:). Then I was prepared. He looked so happy!! He kept playing with his tassel, I remember how annoying it was to have that tassel in my face as well!!
We then went to Lunch at Moore's with my Dad, Mom, and Ang. We all had burgers they were amazing! We then went to Farr's ice cream. Again, it was amazing!! We hung out at Matt's parents, talked for a while and went to dinner. We watched Wreck it Ralph and Here comes the boom. It was a beautiful day and it was a perfect celebration to all of Matt's hard work!! Thank you to everyone who have supported Matt who never know how much that means to us.
