Seminary Graduation

A wave of emotion crashed down on me last night at Seminary Graduation.

Dan had to pull out a tissue for me... first time since I've thought about Emily transitioning into the next stage of her life.

It began when she stood up to speak. She blew me away. I have to admit that I was a little nervous because I had no idea what she had prepared or written. (I know-- I have control issues). Needless to say, she did a beautiful job. Then when all the graduates stood up it literally took my breath away. What great young men and young women-- it was a powerful moment.

Matisse and Emily--no kidding--best friends since the first day of kindergarten!

Of course we all attended the graduation. Hard to believe that Hilary and Hannah are just a few years away from this as well.

It was extra special to have Grandpa and Grandma Snow there to support Emily!

We are so proud of Emily and her great example and enthusiasm for the seminary program. She got her first taste of seminary in Atlanta--the early morning variety-- she was never late. Dan and I take no credit for this because she took the initiative herself--we merely made ourselves available to drive her to the church building where it was held.

Congratulations Emi!
