Graduation!!!

Scott and I finally graduated! Scott has a couple of classes left, but he was able to walk with me. He wasn't too excited to walk in graduation, but after the fact I think he is glad that he did. It was so fun to get to walk together and have all our family there. We had such a blast! It doesn't actually seem like we are done.. we have both been at BYU for so long! I think it will feel more weird in the fall when I am not taking classes. The plan now: I am going to continue working at Chrysalis and I am working as an athletic trainer for summer sports camps at BYU through the summer. I will most likely start looking for a "real job" in the next month or so and hopefully start somewhere in the fall. Scott will continue working at Response and finish his last couple classes and he will be officially done in December. We are excited (and a bit nervous) about starting a new phase of life!!

p.s. I tried to add more pictures but blogger was having problems! Maybe Scott can help me figure it out later and then we will put up more grad pics!

Heather Evanson, ATC

A few weeks ago I took my certification exam for athletic training so that I could be a certified athletic trainer (ATC). It's a pretty big deal (and when I say pretty big deal.. I mean huge deal) because if you don't pass, you can't practice as an athletic trainer. It's the kind of test that no one feels good about after taking because you think for sure that you failed.

I have been waiting for the results for 2 and a half weeks! Well, yesterday we were at our friends, the Harts, and I looked at my phone and realized I had gotten an email. I opened my email and the subject was, "BOC pass/fail results posted." My heart started pounding and I was so nervous. I opened up the email and...

I PASSED!!

It is just such a relief and I am so grateful that I passed. I was really worried I was going to have to continue studying and take it again in June so I am glad I don't have to do that!
