Janika Graduation from Snow
Janika graduated from Snow with her AS today!! Rick and I left yesterday afternoon to head for Ephraim. We had downloaded some books on CD, but ended up just talking the entire three hours of the drive. We stopped for dinner at Sizzler and checked in to the Willow Creek Inn. We went to Janika's apartment after her date to visit and pick up the graduation tickets.
Saturday morning we at breakfast at the hotel and then went to the Activity Center for the graduation. It seemed so tiny compared to Burns Arena where Jase's high school graduation was held. It is obvious that they have a great music program there -- the orchestra and choir were awesome! The speakers were very good too. We especially enjoyed the talk from Spencer J. Cox and his wife Abby Palmer Cox. He is Utah's Lieutenant Governor and a graduate from Snow. He and his wife spoke together and Rick even pulled out the program and took notes.
There ceremony was a little long -- we were there an hour early and then the program lasted another two to two and a half hours. But it was nice. Snow offered a luncheon afterwards for everyone, so that is nice, considering there were over 1000 graduates and their families! We took pictures afterwards and then Rick and I went to the Manti Temple to do a session while Janika finished cleaning her apartment. She also needed to finish packing and have time to say all of her goodbyes! Rick and I haven't done a session in the Manti Temple since we were dating (Manti Mini Vac with the Canyon Club!) I had forgotten how huge it is! It is such a beautiful temple -- one of my very favorites!
Then we took Janika and her roommate, Meagan, out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and headed back home! It was a great way to spend my birthday (I can't believe I am 49!)

I graduated from Snow 29 years ago, in 1988 -- during the 100 year centennial celebration! Here is a picture of me at my graduation next to Janika's picture!
