Busy Weekend

This past weekend we had lots of family in town. Friday we went to Disneyland, Saturday we went to the beach and my graduation at Chapman, and on Sunday we went to Brian's Graduation. Our little condo was packed. Don and Jane stayed at a near by hotel and my parents stayed at my Aunt's house- Aunt Grandma as she is most commonly called around here.

Aron bought a new Cannon super camera and took some amazing pictures.


My graduation was at 5 pm and was so awesome. There was a huge stage and all of my MBA friend were there. It was nice seeing them after so long. In this picture I am standing in front of Beckman Hall were I took all of my classes and worked as a grad assistant. The color of my hood was red and 'drab'. No Joke- in the scholastic world business is represented by drab. Other departments have brown or gold. Drab apparently is a mixture of both colors. It just sounds so 'drab'.
Savannah just loves Matt so much. He makes the craziest noises and she just loves it.
After the Graduation there was a reception on the fourth floor of Beckman Hall. There is an awesome view. If you look just left in this picture you will see The Pond, Angels Stadium and the Matterhorn.
We went to Angelo and Vince's after, and had a cake from Sam's Club. We love Sam's Club cakes because they are whipped frosting.
Over 11,000 students graduated from Cal State Fullerton. There were 149 in Brian's department. Since there are mostly girls in his department it was easy to spot Brian since he was at least a foot taller than all the people around him.
Brian ran into Emily at the Graduation. She got her BA in Communications and Brian got his in Communicative Disorders.
After the Graduation Brian went on stage and took pictures as if he was giving the commencement speech. I am not sure why his hands were so involved in his pretend speech.
There were alumni t-shirts made for each department with all of the graduate's names.
This was Brian's BIG HUGE SURPRISE PRESENT. Aron and I got him a SIGNED Matt Hasselbeck jersey and had it professionally framed in Seahawk colors.
