Before the ceremony i did a little interview for ksl news. The news lady came up to Deidre and I and asked if we could answer a couple questions about graduation. Immediately I started doing this... Ow now brown cow
She started with Deidre and asked her something about if it was a big year for dixie. For all of our marriage I have known Deidre has had a secret dream to become famous. I was excited because this was her big chance. Well I think the pressure got to her because all that came out was "yeah". Then there was an awkward silence and everyone looked at each other. I think we were all waiting to see if anything else was coming after the yeah, but there wasn't. Something more profound or anything relating to graduation, but no. She froze! With her chance now gone, she turned into the most supportive (almost creepy) looking wife I have ever seen. I made something up and said the first thing that came to mind. I wanted to end it by either saying "Im Ron Burgundy?" Or "You stay classy San Diego" but i was a little nervous too. Here's the interview:
Ksl
If she only looked at me like that all the time.
President Monson was the keynote speaker at graduation. He talked about attitude, integrity, and service. It was really good and I liked what he said about having the right attitude if we want to succeed. Him speaking was the main reason we decided to walk this year.
For real, I don't think I would have ever gotten through school without Deidre. I would still be living in Callies basement hanging out with Jordan and Kailey all day working at tgi Fridays. She typed most of my papers with me while I read what I wanted to say in them even when she just wanted to be in bed. I'm lucky I married well. For graduation I surprised her with tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld in Vegas this weekend. She has always wanted to see him live so happy graduation to us.
