The time has finally arrived. Chris has graduated. We've been looking forward to this for a very long time. I am so excited for him and all he has accomplished. He still has a class to complete this summer, but it made the most sense to graduate and finish the one class then wait to graduate at the end of the year. It was such a nice weekend and I am so grateful for Chris' parents and his two sisters, Hilary and Jenny, for coming to town to help celebrate.
Hilary arrived on Wednesday night and we had two fun days hanging out and playing. Mike, Debra, and Jenny drove in on Friday afternoon. We enjoyed a yummy dinner at Zozo's Italian Restaurant with some gift certificates from Christmas, thanks to our mortgage lender. Saturday morning graduation was at 8:30, bright and early. We got there around 8 and were able to get seats in the shade and still able to see what was going on. It was a little more rowdie than the BYU graduation, but still nice. There were a little over 1,300 graduates, but it went very quickly. They had asked all the graduates to stay until the end, I bet 2/3 of the crowd and graduates left by the end, but it was still nice. We had great weather and a good time. Chris chose a low key lunch at In-N-Out afterwards. We had such a nice afternoon and are grateful to our family for there service. Chris and Mike build us 2 garden boxes, Jenny and Debra mowed the lawn, Hilary and I painted some pots and planted some flowers, and there was a lot of help weeding. It wasn't the most glamorous event, but we are so grateful for the help that would have taken us many weekends. The best graduation gift ever, thanks to the O'Neils. That evening we invited our good friends, Eric, Melanie, and Cristian, Dan & Christy, and Hailey and Jeromy. We had fresh meat from the Carniceria (beef and chicken), we grilled and had fajitas, salads, fruit, churros and ice cream. It was a great ending to a great day. Fun to share with our friends and family. Thank you for all your love and support.
Sunday to church in the morning and the O'Neils left around 11:30. We took naps and had some friends over for left overs. Such a fun weekend. Yay for graduation!
