Today I got to take Emma to Deseret Book to buy all the things she needs to take out her endowments and prepare to go through the temple. I can't believe we are at this stage with her already! Happy Day! She was so happy being in there and picking out her things!

EMMA'S UVU GRADUATION!
Emma graduated from UVU with a Bachelors in Science degree. She got it in Community Health with an emphasis on Education. She graduated debt free - thank you UVU for paying for her schooling. She made so much in a few little scholarships that she got to put that money towards her car! Jared and I went up to Utah Tuesday evening to help her that week pack up her apartment, throw things away and watch her graduate. She had done most of it herself so it was quite a relaxing week! I could not have been more proud of her! The music played and we got to watch the graduates walk in....Emma was limping and her shoe was flinging around her ankle. Turned out the toe strap had broke right as it was time to walk in. I took my shoe off and held it up in the air and asked her if she wanted it and sure enough she did, so I took them off and ran down the stairs and we traded shoes. I was barefoot the rest of the graduation! Typical Emma - ha ha! We had the best time before graduation started just walking around the campus and taking pictures of Emma everywhere. It was hard to believe she had completed her 4 years there already! She danced there, worked there and fell in love with the school there! Hunter and his parents got up at 5am to drive down to support her and it was great to meet them for the first time! Ashley and her family came to the graduation and my dad came - he didn't let my mom go because he wanted to do this trip on his own. After the graduation we went to Bryant's house and had a little luncheon party to celebrate her! We had Mo 'Bettahs, Twisted Sugar and Chick-fil-A lemonade! Grandma and Grandpa Jensen were there as well and her friend Lexi and Socrates came too! This girl works hard at school! We never had to help her. She put her mind to it and did it! Some tears were shed during the graduation we were so stinking proud of her! She did it! She was on the Dean's List every semester, she graduated Summa Cum Laude! Well done my girl! We love you!
