goals

Both Travis and I were able to accomplish important goals of ours today. For Travis, he was able to participate in Graduation ceremonies at UVU and walk with his school. It was so fun to see him graduate! Yipee! Even though he technically was done with school in December, he was able to walk today.

I was able to fulfill a goal I've had ever since I learned how to sign/interpret. I was able to interpret for a living prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson. He was the keynote speaker for the commencement ceremony this morning and I got to interpret for him! It was a wonderful experience, and I'm so excited to be able to check that off my list! :) To some, these goals may seem insignificant, or common, (been there done that) experiences. For us, it was magnificent. I loved walking with Travis hand in hand as we left the commencement and later Travis' individual convocation. We are accomplishing our goals together, and it feels great! Couldn't do it without each other. :)

I was there, too, with Bob graduating! I saw you and you were MARVELOUS! I was such a thrill to see you interpreting for the prophet! What a special experience it was. And Pres. Uchtdorf and Pres. Eyring were there, too. Right in front of you! Wasn't that the best ever! I was proud of you, Kat!
