Happy Graduation!

The day we've been working towards and waiting for has finally come and gone. All that's left is 4 more days of hard work, a Stevie Nicks concert, and waving Good-Bye to San Diego as we drive away. It's going to be bittersweet...we've had a lot of fun out here and not really enough time to do everything we wanted to do.

There's not a lot of time to write this morning. I have one final day full of laundry before we get on the road. We need to pack out suitcases and be sure we have everything separated out that we will need for the next 3 weeks (give or take a few days). The packers will be here bright and early tomorrow morning. I have a babysitter scheduled for this afternoon to entertain the kids while we work.

Below are the photos of graduation. Steve's cousin Donnie and his girlfriend Christina went along with us. The kids were as well behaved as they could be (it helped that I brought gummies and pretzels and that they were selling popcorn and drinks at the commencement) even though after the ceremony William and Tinna collided and Tinna ended up with a bloody lip the likes I'd never seen before. At any rate, I think they had a pretty fun day...hey really enjoyed the trolley ride to and from the university and then we had dinner out when we got back to Fashion Valley Mall.
