Congratulations Ryan!!!

Ryan graduated from Utah State!
On Saturday, May 7! It was such an awesome day, and I was overwhelmed with how proud I felt. When the graduation started, and all the graduates walked in, I started bawling the minute I saw Ryan. He has worked so incredibly hard to get to this point. And I couldn't help but burst with joy for him! I am so lucky to be married to such a hard worker, who is so dedicated to furthering his education for the benefit of our family.

Just look at that face! This is when I first saw him walk in, and when I started to cry with my overwhelming emotions...it's not like I have 10,000 more hormones right now!...I love this photo of Ryan, he looks so happy, proud, relieved, everything.

Ryan and one of his best friends Kevin Hall. They have been friends for so long, through high school, missions, weddings, years of baseball, countless classes, the same major....these two share many memories together, and this just shows their personalities and relationship together, they have too much fun!

Ryan and his Dad, Norm. He was a proud dad that day I think! And look how much they look alike...it's like they are twins!

Grandpa and Grandma Doyle came up to celebrate with Ryan, they were so sweet and proud of their grandson this day!

Ryan and I (the proud-puffy eyed-pregnant wife!)

It was so much fun that Danielle and Ryan graduated from the same college that day! Alex and I sat with our families together on the front row and had quite the cheering section for these two! My mom and Danielle's dad actually had so much fun cheering, that they started picking out random graduates to cheer and hoot and holler for! They are funny!
We are so lucky to have these two as bestie friends though. The four of us all get along so well, and we loved spending that whole afternoon and night with them! We went and saw the movie Thor, and got some yummy ice cream at Charlie's after! Good old 'Logan Date Nights' :)


This is the cake I made for Ryan! It turned out so yummy! We all loved it! We had a luncheon before the graduation started at the Iron Gate Grill with family. He had so much support from family members that day. His grandparents, dad, sister's Kristin and her daughter Navi, Julie, her husband Jaab and new baby Chase, my parents and sister Jeanette, and of course me. They all gave him such awesome gifts and spoiled Ryan with praise!

I'm so proud of my husband, and so excited that this chapter of our life has been such an awesome experience. Now that it's coming to a close, and we have such fun new adventures coming up so soon, I can't help but be filled with anxiousness to get it all started!
