Graduation (the first wave)

WOOOHOOO!! I'm Graduated and SO IN DEBT YEAY!! haha We'll I'm almost graduated. I have one class left but this is damn close enough!! It was amazing. Simply amazing. I can't believe it came and went so fast! It's like a wedding or something else enormous. The time just FLEEEEW by. Actual graduation was a total out of body experience. It was just like "Really? Sure? I'm actually here????"

Friday was super fun. Jed's family, Sarah and us all went out to dinner and continued the celebration well into the night with many many bottles of wine :) As one should celebrate college graduation right :) Katy and Virginia gave me simply the most beautiful jewelry and I was so touched. Katy made me cry when I read her card too. It was super cute and I love them :)

Saturday was such a blurr. The graduates waited outside at 8:30 am. However, Jed had to come back because apparently you weren't allowed to bring your purse?!?! Hello! That should have been in the pre-emails. Do they know how many girls were graduating? Then I left my bagel in my purse so I was STARVING by the time it ended at 12:30. My parents said since I decorated my cap you could totally tell who I was :) Plus you couldn't see me very well from the ground so I got some pics on the big screen!

After graduation it was the Pikes Place Market, Pacific Science center and then to Kells!! It was awesome! I got to eat the best food, surrounded by family, drink Guinness with my dad in my favorite pub. Oh I looooved it. The next day we all toured my house, went to Bainbridge Island (which is the most expensive island ever! Geeeeze!) and had more fun. The goodbyes were said and I'm still smiling over the memories. It was truly an amazing vacation.

Thank you to all who made it possible, made me smile and made my weekend. I love you :)

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies whithin us :)
