Graduation, Graduation, Graduation

A major milestone has occured in our life. Erik graduated from High School, earned his AA degree from Green River Community College and completed Seminary so we have had 3 commencement services in 5 days.

It began on Friday June 10th with the GRCC graduation at the Showare Center in Kent. I estimated that there was around 500 kids graduating and they said about 130 of them were running start students.





Erik looked mighty proud to be sitting with such a large group.





Kent was able to be at all of the ceremonies also so that was great.






Then onto Seminary graduation. Erik was deterimed to achieve that same goal as all of the other Olson kids in that he never missed a day in 4 years and he earned his Seminary pin all 4 years also.











Today, June 14th was his graduation from Lindbergh High School. There was around 250 kids in his class and even though he attened GRCC the past 2 years he wanted to be a part of the LHS graduation.




We are so happy for him as this part of his life ends and the next exciting chapter begin. We have several trips planned over the summer and then he is set to begin BYUI in September before leaving for his mission probably next January.





Way to go Erik!!!!!
