Graduation!!!!

I'm working on it! haha. Apparently, I didn't end up with any pictures from graduation, so I'll have to get those on upon my return home! Amber and I are going to take nice "senior" pictures tomorrow or Thursday, so eventually, I'll have something up.

In short, graduation weekend was amazing! I didn't trip or fall while walking across the stage, though one of the masters graduates not only tripped and fell, but also drop her diploma and her cap while trying to shake the President Loftin's hand...you couldn't help but chuckle a little to yourself. She took it in stride though and shook it off.

I felt honored to have been able to share my graduation ceremony with one of the 1999 Bonfire Collapse survivors. After being paralyzed in the collapse, he was finally able to return to A&M and finish his degree this year. It was a very touching moment to see him cross the stage.

The weekend also brought a huge celebration with my entire family. My sister was able to come with the twins and she even stayed the entire weekend! Everyone had a great time and it was a perfect ending to such and amazing period of my life.

And this is for my good friend, John Varner, who has said such nice things about my blog! I love him to death and wish him the best as he moves into his engineering career with Union Pacific!

Congrats to all of the 2010 graduates! Kennedy, John, Gonzo, Antonio, Danny, and I'm probably missing people...so sorry!

As soon as i get pictures, they'll be up!

As it All Comes to a Close

What a ride this college career has been. From the rough beginning at UNT to the beautiful finish at Texas A&M, it is a journey I will never forget.

I will attend my last class tomorrow and turn in my last assignment. Its still seems surreal.

Graduation is officially 10 days away. My entire family is coming into town, and it's going to be a party up in here, no kidding. Pictures to come for sure!
