A Big Fat Filthy Liar!

I know. I promised. I told you all that I'd post about graduation and I didn't - but I had a good excuse! My computer died (ok, I spilled water on it), and then John left, and then I had house guests, and then it died again. But I'm posting now, ok!?

OK!

So, unfortunately it's true; yesterday my computer had a serious problem loading Vista and couldn't get past the initialization loading bar - then everything would go black except the mouse pointer and it would sit there... doing nothing... I tried to repair it. I cried over it and begged it to come back to me. I apologized for not shutting down properly the night before. Ya, it was my fault. I had to reset to the factory default - losing all my pictures and music from the last month.

I suck. Lesson learned.

Thanks to the miracles of facebook, I can at least share a few of the highlights.

Below are some of the best ones:

John's parents and grandparents had a good time talking with Ben Sammler in his home on Sunday night.


Sam and Andrew are to be married this October, but this weekend all the focus was on him being one of the graduating Class of 2009.

On Sunday night we went to the the YSD No Name Band play. John and I had a great time laughing and dancing (Yes...John...DANCING!)
The No Name Band was awesome - I'm disappointed that Philip's face is covered in this shot because he's leaning into his guitar like such a rock star!


This isn't the best pic in the world, but I just love seeing John in cap and gown with a little smile and his ribbon for Pierre. All the graduates wore green ribbons in honor of our friend who passed away in an accident at the theatre a little over a year ago.

Ben Sammler, the chair of the TD&P department, is the Grand Marshal for the YSD graduation. (I'm sure you recognize John) On the right is Dean Bundy.

One of John's classmates and our friend, Jun, left to return to Korea soon after graduation. He's invited us to come visit him (and I'm sure we will) and we were saying good bye.
