SHE DID IT

Rebecca likes celebrations. She likes them so much, in fact, that she wants them to last forever. For example, she somehow finds a way to celebrate her birthday for at least a week. So of course, we had to have more than one graduation celebration.

BECAUSE, after

1,454 days,

45 classes,

5 apartments,

9 roommates,

4 boyfriends,

3 different jobs,

2 student body offices,

1 internship,

a whole lot of work, sweat, time, emotion and sacrifice,

not to mention a small fortune,

REBECCA GRADUATED FROM BYU LAST FRIDAY!!!!!

So, we held a party -- a Becca party.

Gary, Nate and Scott were the balloon brain trust. The balloons had to be color-alternated, in increasing order of height. It took three of them to accomplish this feat. And the shoes? They're symbolic of her "walking" in her convocation. (Not to mention keeping the balloons tied down.)

We had "Becca's Bistro," with all her favorite food. Yep. Kraft Mac and Cheese, biscuits and gravy, pot stickers, hot chocolate and peach pie. Okay, so I know that sounds like a perfectly terrible combination. And it was. But hey, we threw in a salad for good measure. And the peach pie was to die for. Seriously.

The table -- complete with gerbera daisies. Her favorite.

The surprise. Becca loves surprises.

The food -- I know I've already talked about food, but we're all about the food.

And, oh yeah, there were people there, too. 

This makes me laugh. What's with that look?

Then, two days later, we had another celebration. And guess what we did?! Yeah, you guessed it -- we went out to eat. Rebecca got to choose the place. So she has a choice of probably -- what -- 250 restaurants in Utah Valley? And she chose Sam Hawk. Korean food. REALLY? I'm pretty sure that was the LAST place in the world I would have chosen. 

But you know what? I thought it was pretty good! Especially the beef kalbi. 

Mmmmm, mmmmmmm!

Becca, I'm proud of you. Way to go, and now you can go have your beautiful baby boy and go off to Medical School with Landon and live happily ever after.

And if you're reading this and you happen to be in the Provo area any time soon, 

give Sam Hawk a try. I think you'll like it.
