Graduation!

Last weekend, Greg and I celebrated graduation with my family. My parents drove up with both sets of my grandparents for the weekend. They arrived on Saturday so we had a little party at our apartment. It was very nice to have them all come and see our apartment and the kitties.

Dad with Luke!

We had appetizers and drinks and Becca even came to meet the family! :)

Sunday was the big day of graduation. We all headed over to campus and Northrop auditorium in one vehicle. It was quite the adventure squeezing into the minivan but we made it! After we made it through the auditorium, which was a feat in itself, I went to line up with the other grads and everyone else went to find seats. After I waited in line for what seemed like forever, I finally got to seat down in the auditorium, but then spent the rest of the time anxiously awaiting the big walk across the stage. I was quite sure I was going to trip, but thank goodness I did not. The ceremony was nice, especially since one of my favorite professors was there to receive an award. He even congratulated me during my big walk across the stage!

There I am!

Greg and I :)

After the nearly three hour ceremony, it was finally over and I could finally go see everyone. We got to take some nice pictures and it only took us about a half an hour to weave our way out of the auditorium and find the car. We then went out for dinner in Roseville at Granite City. We all had a very nice meal and there were gifts! :) That was the completion of our big graduation weekend due to the excessive amount of homework we still had to complete.

Fortunately, we are almost done now. Greg has one last final tomorrow and I have a couple next week, but they aren't dampering my excitement! We have some very fun plans for the weekend with Becca and Richie and David's graduation party. I am really looking forward to seeing them all before Christmas break :)
