Jessica Lee Fuller Class of 2008

Well the day that we knew would eventually come finally came. When your first child is born it seems as if 18 years will go by very slowly, that could not be further from the truth. Not only did the last 18 years go by very quickly, the last year in particular went by like a bolt of lightning. You prepare yourself in the best way you can but nothing can actually prepare you for the mixed emotions you have when your oldest graduates from high school and makes plans to leave home and go to College. That is exactly where we find ourselves today, preparing to take Jessica to Utah where she will be going to the University of Utah. A lot has been going on but I thought I would start by sharing pictures from Jessica's graduation.

It was a wonderful day full of excitement, thankfully the graduation ceremony was indoors at the Frank Erwin Center on the UT campus. It was incredibly hot outside and I felt for all of the graduates in their caps and gowns looking for their families after graduation. The speakers were very impressive and shared thoughts that allowed reflection on the last 4 years while intertwining that reflection with thoughts of the future that lies ahead. We are so proud of Jessica and the many accomplishments both in school and outside of school. She is an amazing young woman, she is a wonderful example to everyone she comes in contact with. We appreciate the example she has been for her brother and sister, she has truly been a blessing in our lives and one we will always be eternally grateful for. We hope you enjoy a few pictures from Jessica's special day.
