Scott and I left for Provo on a Wed. afternoon after work. We went part way and stayed in Grand Junction at the Motel 6, got up Thur. and made it to Provo at about noon. We first stopped at the Provo Towne Mall and took a picture of Ellen hard at work at the C and B.
She looks so cool at the cash register with her name tag. Then we all got ready for the convocation which would feature the guest speaker Vice President Dick Cheney.

Scott and I outside the Marriott where we waited for two hours in the security line.
We had seats way up on the last row. "HUFF AND PUFF"!
We were privileged to be in the presence of our beloved prophet Pres. Hinckley. This is a picture of him on the Jumbo-tron. He came walking in with Pres., Cheney, waving his cane. Of course, when he came into the Marriott everybody stood up and applauded for a very long time.

Ellen, if you are reading this...I was watching What Not To Wear last night on TLC and Stacie adamantly rebuked the wearing of flip flops! But what does she know?
CONGRATULATIONS TO JASON AND ELLEN!
That's such an accomplishment, you both should feel so proud of yourselves. It looks like you all had a good experience together, wish I could have been there, mostly to eat some of that chocolate cake :o)
Maybe I am having an emotional day... but I wanted to cry seeing such a great accomplishment and not being there to support Ellen and Jason. (oh wait, i was in mexico. Not as sad anymore, wish I was still there.)We Love you guys! Thanks mom adn dad for taking pics so we can all see them.
Happy Graduation, thanks to El and Jason for coming to Grandma's last week. I can't believe they allowed cameras at the Dick Cheney part, way to go Catherine. I hope everyone has trekked back to Colorado by now!! See you in a week.
