Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

What: College Graduation
Where: The University of Utah
When: May 7th
Who: Alison Jane Knudsen


I can hardly believe it! I am finally done and Friday May 7th couldn't have been a better day! Thanks to my family and everyone who has supported, encouraged and cheered me on the past four years none of this could have been possible. The moment I heard my name called and I walked across the Huntsman center floor wearing my cap and gown I knew I had made it, that I had accomplished something big! Looking back it is crazy to think of the countless hours, stress, fun, papers and exams that took place the past four years and it is all over. It is definitely scary to start this new chapter of my life, but I am so excited. There is a big world out there in front of me and I can hardly wait! 

Thanks to my family for all being a part of big day Friday, I love you all and really appreciate your encouragement and love everyday. I couldn't have a better family and better examples in my life. After graduation and pictures, thanks to Lisa, we all went to lunch at Porcupine Grill (I definitely recommend this restaurant, good, fun atmosphere and pretty reasonable). Then my parents and I went and saw Iron Man 2. It was so fun to share this day with all my siblings and their own families. Basically it was perfect and a moment I will never forget. Thanks again to all of you, I couldn't have done it with out you! I did it!
