Graduation Teaser!

These are pictures from our Graduations Ceremony in May. It was hot, especially in a black gown, but well worth the tease. I say tease because we enjoyed doing the ceremony and getting our fake diplomas. We wish we could have done a graduation ceremony in December when we actually graduate, but Chico State just is not into that sort of thing. They are sticking with the spring ceremony only rule. So we either had to do the graduate ceremony the semester before or after; we chose the before. Kevin received three special ropes and a pin for being part of cool business accounting groups at Chico. I got a medal for honors in general education. I would have gotten another medal for magna cum laude, (top 3% of the school)...but it was not my last semester and they could not count me as that "yet". If I had it, I would have been just as cool as Kevin to have all the doodads. But life moves on..besides his stole was stolen at the ceremony, bummer! I did not take it; everyone was supposed to have one. And, I got a lei.

This was Kevin's ceremony. Graduates were still coming into the stadium. The stadium was loaded with people this day.

Kevy and Me!

My medal! Kevin was scared of his sisters hurting him here or something...

Kevin and his parents

Kevin poking his sister Holly (the one with her little girl, Valerie, her daughter)... He just cannot stop picking on his siblings, even though he is the youngest of them all (8 total).

So here, I am wondering, "why oh why is he so crazy?" haha.

Just be glad that we're almost done! It looks like we can barely count..

My parents and little brother

My mom and me with my goober face

My dad and me

This was a fun picture and the last I'm showing... Sorry about the glare. Just 20 units to go...and then some, with preperation for the credentialing program.. and kevin has 18 units.. poor guy.. Advanced accounting classes and all of that unfun stuff!!! He's workin hard! We are both just barely holding on as the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter...just 100 days or so left...

Reminiscing on the Old Days

I was looking through some old pictures and found some from YSA dances. Now, these dances were totally fun with the gang of friends we went with I must say. Without them, they just were not the same. Although I was the underage one for part of the time, I had wonderful friends and a bf (now husband) who got me in. Good times :)

This first one is Cookie and Me at Van Maren with one skate on a foot each. We did not hit too many people. Only one was severely injured.


This next one is Ashley and me at Wisemen. This was my first YSA dance.... also my first dance with Kevin. If only I had a picture of his HOT pink button up shirt that he wore that night...



This next one is Kevin, at least it looks like him. I actually did not know him at this stage of his life. haha. This, I believe, was a picture from a year or two before I met him. He used to be able to do the splits like MJ.. okay, maybe not, but it looks like it!



Here you go Mel! haha, had to include you in here somewhere :) Unfortunately I did not have a picture of the two of us together... lame! This was a pre-dance picture.
