It was really fun to be with Erik during the ceremony. I was supposed to sit in the Bachelor degree section but Erik and I wanted to sit together so I joined the other Master recipients on the floor. I felt a little stupid at the beginning but got over it quickly until we had to stand at the end (and keep in mind, our seats were on the floor right in front of the podium). They asked everyone getting a Master's to stand. Everyone on the floor around me stood. Then, they asked everyone getting a Bachelor's to stand; so I reluctantly stood. This is when I really got embarrassed. It was pretty much just me standing on the Huntsman Center floor for that moment. Oh well.
I am so happy to finally be graduated and also very happy for Erik. He put in so many hours these last couple of years to finish his Master's degree and we are both elated to finally be done with school. I wish my parents (well, any of my family for that matter) would have been able to be at the ceremony with us. Thankfully, Erik's parents, sister and son, and grandparents were able to make it. It was a beautiful sunny day and the perfect way to say goodbye to the "U". Well, until football season that is. :)
