Last week we got to go BYU graduation since my 2 sons and their wives were all graduating. Well, technically, only the wives were finished because my two boys will finish in December, but they decided to walk together this April since there is only one graduation per year.
It was great weather and overall, a really nice day. In the morning was commencement. Arthur C. Brooks got an honorary degree and gave a great speech. All the talks were good.
Afterwards, we attended a luncheon at the Kennedy Center which was the college that AnnaSue was graduating and the convocation they were walking in. The convocation followed in the deJong concert hall. My one complaint of the day was that the reader only said AnnaSue's name and not the names of the other graduates. It was very odd. It turned out that the other three graduates were supposed to give their cards to the reader but were not told to do so, so there was a lot of confusion and in the end, their names didn't get read. I was feeling pretty irritated about it but after we went outside, the woman who messed up found us and apologized profusely which helped me feel better.
That night we had a dinner at our house with AnnaSue's family as well as all our family. Then we hurried over to the Art Gala at the elementary school to see Camille's art.
