Bevan's Graduation

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

On Saturday, Bevan graduated from the Law Enforcement Academy at Idaho State University.

Now I know that I have totally gotten fat, but my gosh...the poofy skirt and sweater made me look HUGE! I couldn't beleive it. So I guess the moral is: Yes, I've become fat. But No, I'm not that fat as the picture makes me seem.




This is Bevan giving his speech. He was actually President of his class. His speech was really well written. If you know Bevan, you know he is incredibly, incredibly smart...and it came across in his speech. I made him give me a copy of it so I could scrapbook it.
Here is an excerpt..
We gather at the culmination of great crossroads, many of us will be moving up and out, forging paths, and making new lives; some here, others far away. It is impossible to tell where we will all end up, sufficed to say at least one of us will be somewhere they never dreamed possible as we sit here today. We have all embarked upon a unique way of life by attending this academy. As has been said before, "law enforcement is not for everyone." Undoubtedly , some of us will not stay with this profession forever, but neither will anyone be unchanged by the pursuance of this venture.

To Bevan's right, (our left) is his good friend Will.

This is Bevan and his mom. Her and I rode down together to the ceremony basically so we could gossip and talk about scrap booking.
