Graduation!!

We have had a really fun last few weeks with so much of our family in town that it's been hard to sit down and write about graduation. It was a really emotional event for me. I cried several times. I am so proud of John and know it was not an easy feat to graduate while working full time and balancing church and family responsibilities! But the good news is, it's over!!! We were fortunate enough to get to be in the de Jong concert hall, which is much improved over the Marriott Center and Smith Fieldhouse we've had to sit through for the rest of our family graduations. I was trying to save enough seats for everyone I thought was coming from both families (I was 4 short...), but it meant I was saving basically half of a row. People were NOT happy, but whatever. Dean was a CHAMP and did sooooo great. I was worried we'd be going in and out with him, but he truly could not have been better. The speakers were great, way better than my graduation when everything was all about sports this, sports that, sports, sports, sports, sports, sports. Here are pictures from the event. The first two pictures are from the fun we had before graduation. My blogger is broken and I can't write in between pictures. Sorry man.
Thanks to everyone who came out for graduation. We missed you Lisa and Kat!
