Up to Speed: Graduation

Hello there :) I missed you.

I have not blogged in awhile and I’m ready to keep you up on my little adventures again. Before I get back into the game I thought I’d catch you up on some of the highlights that I have pictures of. Back in April...

I graduated and it felt a little like this:2 Celebrate

My family got to cheer me on as I received a sample diploma from an important educator who I do not know:

Afterward, the Russells, Lorraine, and I made sure to pose with the blossoms (a classic BYU graduation shot).

My ceremony was super entertaining, we had a risqué salsa dance performance and live music performed by the Venezuela Cantando. The Kennedy Center definitely knows how to throw a party. Here’s a shot of the musical group performing at the gathering after the ceremony:

Afterward we went out for breakfast at the Roll Up Cafe (the crepe place in Orem with the big owl out front). Ashley also published a post about their trip out and my graduation.

No better way to say goodbye to BYU!

Paola, I know I draw out my hiatuses to the extreme, but I'm glad you've kept me :) I'm excited to get back into blogging again and catch up on what's been going on with everyone.
