Graduation day. Two more years down...a handful more to go to get a PhD. In the mean time, call me Master Stone. We had our convocation in the Marriott Center at BYU and had, as our speaker, Governor Leavitt. He talked about about becoming managers/leaders who convene and collaborate and harked back to George Washington who sat at the head of the original constitutional conventions. Fortunately the Business School likes to be quick and efficient so the ceremony didn't drag on and on like graduations tend to do.
My family came to support and I made it easy for them to spot me by wearing the wrong colored hood. True story. Of the hundreds of graduates at the ceremony I was the only one who missed the memo to wear a blue and white hood and was wearing a yellow and white hood. Good thing I have a masters degree to help me figure that one out. I had a good laugh at that and figured most of the audience thought I was the top of my class or something like that. We'll let them keep wondering...
There I am...the yellow eye sore in the sea of blue.
And the moment we have all been waiting for...the grand walk across the podium to grab a fake diploma. It's a little anticlimactic...but I really am done!!! Woot.
Mom had some trouble getting a good photo but I'll try to get some of her pictures up soon. Thanks to my lovely wife for snapping these pics to remember the special day. And thank you my beloved wife for supporting me along the way. Couldn't have done it with out you (at least not on time). Love you lots.
The graduating couple...my greatest accomplishment is to be married to Michelle....getting a masters doesn't even come close.
