Graduation

It's hard to believe that we are done with school, but after today it's official. We started the day out at a breakfast reception for the students in Janae's Public Policy program.
Janae decided to walk at the law school's convocation ceremony, so it was nice to see friends from the MPP program.
While we were walking across campus we wanted to stop for a quick picture in front of this statute. We matched up pretty well.
In the afternoon we headed over to the Provo Tabernacle so that Josh's dad could take a few pictures before the crowds showed up. As usual, Ainslie was very excited to "Papa."
One of the best parts of today was the chance to see so many family members who have helped us make it to this day.
Long ceremonies aren't really Ainslie's thing, so we tried to get her worn out before things got started.
And we were very grateful to everyone who took a turn outisde while Ainslie was running laps.
Although we're happy to be finished, after as much time as we've spent, it's a little hard to say good bye. We're definitely going to miss the good friends we've made.But friendships go on. Fortunately, homework does not, and we're done.
Bring on the rest of our lives!

I hope my status on Facebook didn't come across as rude. I just look at you guys and am amazed at what you have done. I think it's fabulous but I know it hasn't been easy and it has taken a lot of hard work. I guess sometimes I just wish I could be a little more like you.... :)

Congrats again to both of you!
