ERIC'S GRADUATION

Now for the end of our trip...Eric's graduation! (Wow, my baby graduated from college!) What a heart warming experience to see your youngest graduate from college. I didn't think I would cry but being a mom there were some tears. It was a great experience to see Eric graduate and to be there with him, Joy and little Olivia. We have been so pleased with the choices Eric has made in his life and his focus on what he wants to pursue. What a wonderful son!!! One of the graduation speakers talked on putting things in order in your life and doing the right steps in the Lord's plan, also. It has been so wonderful to see all our children as they have made the right steps in their lives. It was interesting that Stephanie graduated from "Ricks" with an associate ten years before, Eric's aunt Margie with an associate forty years before...and hard to say it...myself thirty-eight years before, all in the same building. (BYU-Idaho is now in the process of building a new student field house which will hold 20,000.) After graduation and a celebration dinner at Olive garden, we got on the road to help Eric and Joy drive back with their moving truck and car. I got to sit in the back of their car most of the time and play with Olivia. We had lots of fun!!! I love being a grandmother...one of the best blessings in this world.

Congratulations Eric!!!

We Love You!!!
