Last weekend, Rob and I had the privilege of flying up to Spokane for Kaylyn's graduation from Whitworth. It was sooooo good to see Kaylyn again! It had been 5 months since we'd seen her, which was way too long. The Graduation Ceremony was very nice and we are very proud of her accomplishments. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Business Management. It was fun to see what the graduates put on their caps. Each department decided together what to go with and then each student decorated their own. Kaylyn's business department went with "It's Business Time" along with business socks attached to the cap. There were some very creative caps!

President Bill Robinson spoke at his last graduation ceremony.
He's retiring after 17 years at Whitworth.
Could that smile get any bigger?!
Receiving her Degree
Kaylyn's good friend Krista Deitz, goalkeeper on the soccer team.
Another fellow soccer player and friend, Kelly Lunde.
Although she enjoyed school very much, she is relieved to be done...at least for a while. Her plans are to keep working the two jobs she currently has and possibly put her mission papers in this Fall. We're all trying to get her to move to St. George but no luck yet! :)
We also got to see and visit with some of our dear friends in Spokane and spend time with family too. We are looking forward to being back in Spokane in six weeks for the Plumb Family Reunion. Next time, however, we're driving! Between late and cancelled flights, we spent more time in airports than doing all the things we had planned. I like flying but sometimes it would be quicker to drive! But all in all, we had a great weekend in Spokane with our Girl!
