Graduation!
Hello everyone!
Well, I think it is about time that someone posted on this thing again...put Angie's hard work to use :). A week ago, Mom and Dad made their first joint trip to Chicago and it was a very exciting time. They drove to St. Louis on Thursday and stayed with Keith and Cheryl in their beautiful new house. In addition to beating Tim and Keith at pinochle, Dad couldn't stop talking about how well laid out their new home is. Friday morning, Keith drove them to the train station early and they rode the Amtrak here to Chicago. It was Dad's first time on a train and only the second time for Mom (the other time she can't remember because she was really young). They loved it. Dad was like a little kid in a candy shop--talking to the engineer and conductor, listening to the engine, and of course observing the sights along the way. Mom was happy that they could get up and move around, sleep and relax the entire trip. They are now planning all of their trips by rail...its "the only way to travel". I was so happy when they arrived safely and I was able to show them around a little.
Saturday was graduation day for me. I technically received my Master's hood in a ceremony on Thursday, but to accommodate travelers they recognized me and a few other classmates in the ceremony on Saturday. Mom and Dad met Gregg's parents for the first time and after the ceremony we all went out to dinner along with Gregg's sisters Tammy and Laurie. It was an awesome evening, one which made Gregg and I realize that we are going to have a very loud wedding with all of the talkers in our families!
Here are a few pictures of graduation and the families. The sun was really bright, so please excuse the fact that we all have our eyes closed!
