Graduation is finally here! Be prepared for a lot of posts and pictures over the next several days!We started off the celebration(s) with a 'low-key' lunch with several of Seth's classmates and their wives/fiancee. This was actually put together so that we could finally meet Petko's fiancee, Nellie (I'm sorry if I spelled that wrong). She got in last night from Bulgaria and it was so great to finally meet her. Petko, Jake, Ben and Seth all became friends during their first semester. Petko was the only one without a wife, so the first chance he got he went home and proposed to his girlfriend of 6 years! Guess those "family guys" started to rub off on him. Petko has become such a dear friend and family member!
(This is a bad pic, I know, but the only one I got of these two today - Hopefully Wendy will email me the group shot - hint hint! :))Later on was the Graduation Reception for all of the graduates. Seth received 2 awards. One for being a Campus Ambassador and the 2nd for being on Honor Council. While we were sitting there, it really hit us that we're done, FINALLY! (Now we just have to work on the job thing!)
Here is Seth recieving his medals! (With the Swine Flu going around, they asked the students to not shake hands or hug and they had them all come up afterwards to recieve the awards - instead of going across the stage and shaking hands with the President - So, I had to improvise this shot!)
My beautiful and talented friend, Erika Decaster. Erika and her husband are BOTH graduating tomorrow!Oh and did you wonder what we did with Colton?
He stayed with our neighbors, David and Linda. They are the BEST neighbors ever! We have loved having them right next door these last 2 years and we are going to miss them terribly!
Colton LOVES their son Brent and Brent is always so kind and sweet and gives in to all of Colton's whims!
