Yay for a happy graduation day! While there is still a long road ahead of us, it was such a fun day to celebrate JD getting his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Chemistry. I know he won't like me saying so, but doesn't he look so cute in his gown with all the trimmings? It was super neat to be there for such a special occasion. It was a great day of pictures, Indian food, and driving 7 hours to Las Vegas for a mini-vacation. If only the celebrations and lack of school could last a little bit longer, sadly class starts up again this Monday. :/
Fun story, I went to the end of commencement where former Govenor Mike Leavitt was speaking, JD's college was right after commencement so as soon as it was over, I ran as quickly as I could through the crowd to stake front row seats for the 7 other family members coming to see JD walk. I had grabbed a spool of string before leaving thinking it may come in handy. As I got to the front row-center, I held the end of the string, counted seats, and threw the spool to the last seat that I needed to save. The bright orange string was a life saver, not more than 10 seconds after my string had been strung there were people trying to get my saved seats. The first spoke for the rest as they eyed the string with great distaste, "I take it the string means these seats are saved?" I replied yes and they hustled to the remaining sections with front rows. Yay for my spool of orange string!
