Day at the Dunes

On Saturday, Tyler and I and a group of our friends went to the Little Sahara sand dunes. Here are some pictures from the event.

Some of the kids there with their families decided to join our guys in jumping off the sand dunes.

Me, attempting a "cool" jump.

I laid on the grown and Tyler jumped over me for this priceless shot.

Me giving it a go on the snowboard. I was actually standing at one point down the hill, but unfortunately that miracle wasn't captured on film (or rather...in pixel).

Trevor on his way up for a spinning move.

Trevor and Tyler going for the ankle/foot grab.

I look like the karate kid. Tyler especially enjoys my pointed toe.

It's not an official day at the dunes without a cannonball jump.

I was kind of chicken when I jumped. I never went very far.

"Full extension" jump.

Aside from the wind, our trip to Little Sahara was really fun!

Graduation: Part II

These pictures are from the second day of graduation, at the Marriott School of Management's convocation. This graduation was looooong. Between the undergrads and the grads, there were over 1000 students graduating. The Marriott School is the second or third highest graduating college at BYU, as you can see by the number of students graduating. I wouldn't have enjoyed sitting at the longest graduation!

Every graduate has to take picture with the BYU signs. :)

This is where I spent two and a half years of my college career.

The procession.

Getting my diploma!

After getting my diploma. I was walking back to my seat when I heard someone yell "Christine!" I turned to see who it was, and lo and behold, there was Tyler, taking my picture.

I wish I had pictures from my graduation BBQ, but I don't. I'll have to get them from my mom so that I can post them here. Yay for being graduated!

Graduation: Part I

It's about time that I post something new. Good thing I have something worth posting and celebrating! Yesterday I participated in Brigham Young University's 133rd Commencement. Elder Bednar was the main speaker. Here are some pictures from yesterday. I'll post more later from today.

Here's the ol' gown.

The program for the 133rd commencement. I'm on page 64 and 74!!

My mom tried to take a picture of me with "Y" mountain behind me, but it didn't work very well. I suggested we take a picture with Portal Y in the Marriott Center. I also decided that I'd pose as a Y, too. Classic.

Tyler and me with the Spanish flag, of course.

Me and Tiff waiting for the procession to start. It was FREEZING outside. In fact, it was snowing at one point.

We were happy when the procession finally started. Here's Brother Samuelson and Elder Bednar walking at the front. If you look really carefully, you can see the front of Elder Bednar's face behind Brother Samuelson's. Maybe click on the picture to make it bigger.

The ceremony was great. I'm looking forward to the Marriott School of Management convocation this afternoon!
