Duane and Kelty flew back from Chicagoto don a cap and gown for an official CLAIMING
of his hard-earned BYU graduation certificate.
As you can see,
Kelty was JUBILANT!
She wasn't the only one.
His mom and sister drove down from Canada.He's a FIRST in his family.
AND, we're pretty sure their little bambino
was applauding from 'within'.
As we were driving home after the ceremony,
a storm was brewing.
Mount Timpanogos was majestically spotlighted
amidst the shadows from the darkened sky.
(This photo was taken close to our driveway.)As the cloudburst broke, we opened the sliding glass door
and fully experienced the lightening, thunder,
gusts of wind, and a heavy deluge of water.
Kelty put together a scrumptious dinnerfor the goodly number of family & friends
who came to rejoice in Duane's success.
Duane's aunt, uncle and kids showed up from Idaho
to participate in the ceremonies and partying.
Somewhere between events,
they pulled out a long and captivating board game -
A Ticket to Ride.
It was both INTENSE & RAUCOUS!
The festivities are now over.
But there's going to be another "graduate" in September.
Just four hours ago, Kelty received her acceptance to the Marriage & Family Therapy GRADUATE program at Adler University in downtown Chicago. It's located two blocks from their new condo.
Our little mamacita will start her studies this fall and go part-time after the baby comes.
Way to go!

I'm thinking of the house on Center, and the little kids who used to live in that back yard. I'm remembering two young women playing fairies under a pine tree. Who woulda thought that the children of our bodies and souls would grow up like this, so beautiful and strong, so intelligent and able to grasp the possibilities? And that the family would spread out, like a great sea in all directions?
I see you, in a striped bathing costume, floating on a big blow up horsie, bobbing on that sea, blissful look on your face - and all the earth beaming back at you in joy.
Who woulda known?
Hey Mom! Thank you SOOOOOO much for this post, you make the information so exciting to read! I love your style of blogging, way to go. Let me know if I can help with any computer stuff for your ebay business. I sure do love you, sorry if I've sounded short on the phone at any time in the last couple of days. If I was, it was not your fault by any means :D
Sending a hug,
Kelty
