Here comes the graduate... the saga ends!

Today (Saturday, December 19) was the Commencement Ceremony that culminates the road to Mike's graduation! We debated whether to take Arianna with us or not since these things can take awhile so we opted for my sister to help us in the babysitting. So, the first picture is when Mike and I got to the gym where they were waiting to take their "formal" picture and get in lines, etc...I, after taking some pictures, went to the basketball court to save some seats for the ceremony.



Mike is all smiles waiting for his turn to get his diploma. Although he got his diploma a few weeks ago, he got another one with a sheet that says congratulations and by the way, we have a graduate program for you! So it is symbolic, but it was a very nice feeling.


We could not get closed to take a picture when they were on the stage, but I managed to take this picture from the tv monitor. Cool, right?


It was a really cold and gloomy day, but it was a very joyous occasion. We were all warm and toasty inside, but we were freezing.


Family pictures! So, after the ceremony they had a reception, but it was so crowded that we decided to go to the Fine Arts hallway and take pictures. Then, we went to a restaurant on Burbank called Chuck's. Ron you would have loved this place. Plenty of meat to go around, lots of BBQ. Very good food. We were stuffed.



Love this candy shot!


Great Job! as Arianna would say :)



I saw this wall and liked the arrangement. I took this picture mostly because I know Mike used to walk this hallway quite often and he could remember it later and partly because I loved it.


Paths, paths... Where will life take you next?


Getting ready to go to the restaurant. Last time on the parking lot. He used to park in Level 2 since it was cheaper, well you have to walk one more floor, but it was half the price. Good bye Cornflower level!


We are so proud of you!
