Boise State Graduation

Bailey graduated from Boise State University in a very quick 2.5 years. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice, with a minor in Psychology. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 4.0 GPA! She had a goal to graduate from college debt free, so she did this all while holding down multiple jobs. We couldn't be more proud of her! I've never met anyone with so much drive, direction, and dedication. If she sets her mind on something, she goes after it, holding nothing back! I can't wait to see what's next for her. She is currently studying for the LSAT, and getting ready to apply to Law School. She is working for the Ada County Juvenile Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and plans to keep that position through law school. Way to go Bailey Rae! Keep it up!

Honor's College Graduation:

After COVID ruins your wedding, you just roll with most things after that. Bailey has a much better attitude than I do. Stupid COVID now canceled her college graduation. She helped plan the Honor's College graduation every semester she was at BSU, and now that it was her turn, and it had to happen over zoom. 😡 Mark and I sat in our living room in PJs and watched Bailey give a speech from her couch at home. How lame is that?!? But, she did a great job!

This was her slide for the slide show.

BSU Graduation:

Even though Bailey's actual BSU graduation was virtual, that wasn't going to keep us from going to Boise to celebrate with her. Mark and I got there on Friday afternoon while Bailey was still at work. We went straight to work decorating her apartment in blue and orange.

The next morning, Mason's family got there, so we all watched Bailey graduate from college while sitting in her living room. So glad they all drove over for it! It was nice for her to feel the love and support, in an otherwise lame circumstance.

Graduation fans!

BSU's President spoke.

Even the Elvis' from the football games congratulated the graduates.

46 out of 2,259 students graduated Summa Cum Laude, and Bailey was one of them!

There's her name! Yay, this is when we all cheered! 😂

We had cake and fun snacks, went and took pictures at all the 'spots' on campus, and went out to a celebration dinner that night.

Yay for cake!

She switched her tassel, so it's official!

Pictures of our beautiful graduate!

Friendship Bridge

I have this same picture of her 2.5 years earlier when we were visiting campus for registration.

We also recreated this one from the start of her BSU days!

We wanted to remember what it was like for her to finish up college during a worldwide pandemic.

She snatched herself a handsome husband before she graduated! 😍

I had her college graduation gift picked out before she even started college. We were supposed to go together to run the Rocky stairs in Pennsylvania. With covid, political unrest, and the world in the crazy state it is right now, we decided that would need to be postponed. 👎 We'll shoot for her law school graduation. So instead, we got her tickets to Country Fan Fest. My friend also had a daughter graduate from college, so the four of us are going to stay in a yurt and have 4 days of concert fun! 👍

Congratulations Bailey Rae! We're so proud of you! Keep setting goals and crushing them!
