Graduation

It was already official in December, but Clint was able to participate in his graduation ceremony at Utah Valley University. We weren't sure if we would be around for his graduation, but with the economy the way it is, we are still here. Even though it was a long ceremony, it was so nice to celebrate Clints great achievement. He earned a bachelors of science in Digital Media. We have some pictures and a short video of the ceremony for everyone who was unable to attend.

There are two parts to graduation, commencement and convocation. Convocation was first, where Clint actually walked and got his diploma (case). This is him entering with his Digital Media friends.

This is a video I got of him actually walking. I wanted to get pictures and video at the same time, but I only had one camera to do both, so I couldn't get everything I wanted. This was basically the best part of what would be a 4 hour ceremony.

Here he is walking off the stage. It was hard to get everything.

This is him going back to his seat after he walked. That is a copy of "Oh the places you'll go" under his arm. He got that from the Digital Media department.

This was Clint walking into the commencement ceremony. There were not as many chances/reasons to get a lot of pictures during this ceremony.

He finally spotted me in the crowd. It was kind of hard to find each other at times.

We decided to walk around the campus and get pictures in some different areas, and some of the places Clint will always remember from campus. The pictures outside aren't great because it was a terribly windy day.

The fountain outside. There must have been a lull in the wind, because Clint's robe isn't flying all over the place.

We found a family who took a picture of the two of us outside. Otherwise, the rest are all of just Clint. Not that I wanted my picture taken!

Amber was so great to watch the kids while we went to graduation. After the ceremony, we got a family picture with Clint in his cap and gown. The boys thought daddy was in a silly outfit, but they loved trying on the had and medallion. It was a good end to a good day. We are so glad he is done with school, and look forward to finding a job and moving into the next stage of our lives.
