Tyler Graduates from BYU 4-23-2010

We were all looking forward to this exciting weekend. Not only was Tyler graduating from BYU but we were finally ALL going to be together! Steve flew from Canada and we flew from Texas to meet up with the kids in Provo. It was a very busy weekend but so much fun! Here Tyler is in front of the Marriott Center at BYU. The kids waiting for graduation to start. Tyler graduated from the Business School. I am pretty sure it was one of the largest graduation on campus that day. With the last name of Williams we were there to the bitter end and it was great!!

Tyler, Kayle and us outside after graduation.

That's my boy!!

We were looking all over for Tyler as the hundreds of people walked in. ...trying to figure out where he was. It was funny when I finally looked right in front of us and there he was...only about 8 rows down from us! How lucky was that?!

It was a wonderful graduation. Bill Marriott was one of the speakers. The story he told of his family and himself was so inspiring. He is such a successful man but gives so much in return. It was an emotional experience for me when the Dean of the collage was asking for the graduates to stand as things applied to them. Some of the things he asked was...how many speak 2, 3,4,5 languages. How many have served a mission. How many have lived in another country. How many were married....with children. It was so impressive as to how many stood at each question. I dare to say that you would not have found so many well rounded graduates at any other University in the US. It made me so thankful and proud to have been blessed to be educated at BYU and now have my own children there to share in that blessing.

Tyler and Kaylee will now head to Houston Texas in July where Tyler will attend Medical School at the University of Texas at Houston. Kaylee will attend graduate school in Statistics. We are so proud of these two! Good Luck kids we LOVE YOU!
