I traveled down to Cedar City this week to take part in my graduation from SUU. I'm technically not quite done with everything I need to be done with to graduate--I have three more classes in June and a portfolio to finish--but we were allowed to walk early because we'd have to wait until next May if we didn't walk this year. Mom and Dad came down to watch me parade across campus and then across the stage. It was a really good experience, I'm glad I went. I think this commencement meant more to me than when I graduated with my bachelor degree as I have been attending classes with my co-workers.
To top off a great weekend, I got to meet President Monson and shake his hand! We were staying in a hotel the night before graduation and Mom and I were just coming back from dress shopping and picking up a pizza for dinner and we noticed that the person waiting for the same elevator was President Monson and his entourage. We shook his hand and then chatted in the elevator about my graduation and education. I mentioned that I teach 6th grade and Mom made a comment about how all of my students are taller than me and Pres. Monson said, "she can handle them!" so I guess I have the prophet's approval :) We ended up running into him once more in the parking lot that night and we chatted again there. I just wish I had gotten a picture.

Congratulations!!! Good luck with the last few things, but doesn't it feel good to get it all done? (not that I know the feeling of being a Master of anything.) It sounds like you had a great time.
