Graduation

My sister's graduation was a lot of fun. Friday when we got to the hotel, we my met up with both sets of my grandparents and my sister came over from campus. She opened her graduation presents and we had cake that my mom made. The cake was beautiful. It was decorated to look like a book that said congratulations. After my sister's "party," she and I went back to the house that she was staying at, packed some things up and hung out.

Saturday morning we went to the ceremony for her major and that was short and sweet. There was a reception and photo time after. Then there was the big graduation in the stadium that lasted for 2.5 hours. There were speeches, awards, and they called everyone's name. I was so proud when they called her name and she walked across the stage wearing her honors cords!

When it was all over, we took a bunch of photos and then went to lunch. After lunch we played some games at the hotel and then she went to celebrate with her friends. My grandmas, my mom and I went shopping for a little while and then went back to the hotel.

It was cool to be with my mom on Mother's Day this year! I saw both of my grandmas this morning and then spent the day with my parents. We were out shopping and the tornado sirens started going off. When we made it from the store to the car, we turned on AM radio which said it was a warning because there was a rapidly approaching storm with "swirling" clouds. It fortunately passed by us with nothing more than high winds and heavy rainfall. This evening my mom and I watched old tapes from when my sister and I were little and in the morning I fly back to California.

It was a whirl wind weekend and I know when I get home tomorrow, after I unpack, I am going to have to rest up for work on Tuesday. When I have photos uploaded, I will post them!

Don't forget to watch my friend Justin tomorrow night on "How I Met Your Mother". He has one line where he notices the character 'Lily' walk by in a hot dress.
