cinco de graduation

on saturday we graduated!

WHAT?!?! I AM A COLLEGE GRADUATE?

holy smokes! its about time.
oddly enough i had lots of bittersweet emotions about it all. i am so excited to be done with HOMEWORK, but sad to be leaving this stage of our lives. 

its been pretty carefree. and now real life starts.

sam has been pretty sad about it. i cant blame him though. every single professor he had thought the world of him. he was such a good student. i dont think a bachelor's degree will make due for him. it looks like more school is in our future.

im glad its him and not me! 


sams cousin rob graduated from pharmacy school. and my cousin angie graduated with a mass comm degree like me. it was quite the cousin event.


although the 3 1/2 hour ceremony was excruciatingly long for this pregnant woman, i am sooo happy we decided to walk. it made it seem so much more real.


sams mom and dad


shaggy mom and paul


sam and rob. they have been the best of friends for a long long time!




we had to have a unicycle shot!




it was such a windy day for pictures. and i hate that unfinished chimney looking sign. 




we both graduated from the college of arts and letters. it was pretty neat to get to sit by each other and walk with angies name called, then mine, then sams. all in a row.


afterwards we had a big ole party. lots of people came to show us their love and support. we are sooo lucky to have such an amazing family and so many wonderful friends!






alice. carli. lizzy. annie. addie. rachel. me. mj. kirsten. and lots more that didnt get a picture.


austin. mckay. weston. tanner. brit. dan. brandon. sam. jed. 

also, thank you to everyone for so many kind words congratulating sam and i on all of the exciting things happening in our lives right now. we really do feel soooo very blessed!
