Graduation Weekend

I told you that about 4 million pictures were coming your way following graduation (here).  Today, I’m going to bombard you with pictures from that weekend :-) Buckle up peeps, I don’t want you to get beat up with this picture bomb lol

Waving goodbye for the last time without my doctorate.  I was a little nervous for the ceremony, if you can’t tell from the picture ;-)

Processing in and finding the fam in the audience. I was so happy to have my support team present to witness the day.

Shaking hands with the president.

Showing off my latest hood :-)Me with my sister

The fam who flew to Texas for my graduation.

After the ceremony the celebrating began with a delicious brunch and dinner out on the town in Houston!!!This just might be my favorite picture of my dad :-)

I hope you didn’t think I was going to post pictures of the family and leave out my 4-legged children!

My sister snuggle’n with the pups.

Kellyn gave me this gorgeous monogrammed necklace as a graduation gift and I just had to show it off :-)  I sure do love jewelry and monogram. hehe Kellyn must know me pretty well ;-)

On Saturday we had a girls day filled with shopping, outdoor cafes, and pedicures! Whenever Kellyn is in town we always have to go relax at Tiny Boxwood (a fabulous french bistro; I highly recommend it to fellow Houstonians)

We also got delightful 2-hour deluxe pedicures in honor of my mom for mothers day.  Look at those pur-dy toes!

All-in-all graduation weekend was fun, relaxing and full of celebrations. :-)  I wish I could do it all over again, without the 5 years of degree earning of course hehe
