Our amazing baby girl, who is definitely not a little girl anymore, just graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelors degree in Computer Science. My heart is overflowing with love and pride for how hard she worked, and what she has achieved. She graduated with a 4.0 in college – straight A’s for her entire time, even when the classes were extremely difficult. She never gave up or gave in, and she achieved so much.

And now for the next step in her journey – finding a job (which may be more difficult than graduating in this job market). We know that she will find her place, and as she searches, I am so enjoying having her back home with us for now. And although she is a fully fledged adult, part of me will always see her as this adorable five year old spunky little girl.

PS. Because Lily’s last course was an intense online course to replace an internship, she wasn’t able to walk for graduation. We still may have her do that next year if it all works out, but luckily she was able to use her computer magic to put herself in the BYUI cap and gown so I could have a graduation picture of her. Wow, I sure do love this amazing girl of mine!
