It was with much perserverence that Jenny attained her Bachelor of Science in History last Friday night. She worked very hard, went through fun times and trials, her marriage to Logan and now....the payoff.
Richard, Josh and I drove to Rexburg and met up with Jenny, Logan and Jessell last Thursday. We had a fun time visiting, picking up Jon at his dorm and eating Jack in the Box from the drive through. The weather was very windy and cold. Before graduation on Friday we took everyone to Applebees for lunch.
Commencement was Friday night. Jenny was on the very front row and could almost touch the speakers...President Clark of BYUI....and President Uchtdorf of the First Presidency of the Church, who was the keynote speaker. The talks were WONDERFUL!!
There were nearly 1100 graduates. Here she is as they filed out after commencement. Since she was on the first row, she was the last to leave. 
The graduates then broke into their different colleges...she was in The College of Language and Letters, where she received her diploma cover (the diploma is mailed to them).
Here she is with Jessell....her lifelong friend who had flown to Salt Lake and drove with them to Rexburg. CONGRATULATIONS JENNIFER THE GRADUATE!!!!!!p.s.......stay tuned for the story of the harrowing drive back home:)

Congratulations to Jenny! It looks like a wonderful ceremony. Very neat that Jenny got to sit so close to the speakers. I can't wait to hear about the ride home!
YEAH! CONGRATS! What a "Sweet" day that is:)
Congrats to Jenny and your family! You've had a lot of cool things going on with your kids. I'm happy for you!
Thanks for posting the pictures and all about Jenny's big day at graduation. That is so neat that she was able to sit so close. :) Being the LAST to graduate is just the way it is for everything for a person with the last name of Whitley.... :) ... but not Egan. I can see it was worth the wait for her, though.
So glad Jenny graduated and you made the harrowing trip to be a part of it!
