Friday night we went to Bradley’s parents’ house for Danielle’s graduation
party. It was really a nice time. The family is really nice and the food was
delicious. I brought Monster Cookies in MSU colors. I’m so smart. (I saved the left over M&Ms for Viking
Monster cookies in September.) We were there for over 4 hours and, as Eric
pointed out, we didn’t play cards…SAY WHAT?
Saturday morning we gathered at MSU campus for Danielle’s
graduation. Bradley has the “in” so he
got us down to the first floor of the bleachers, right where Danielle walked in
and out. Awesome! The ceremony was 2 hours long. Eric, Bradley and I
entertained ourselves by making fun of the thesis titles. Like the one about the Sexual Satisfaction after a Bone Marrow Transplant. Really? You actually wrote a thesis about this? Another one was something about the strong
Mothers in Modern Family and Parenthood.
Again…you watched TV for your thesis.
Great. I’m not sure why but there
were 3 speeches at Danielle’s graduation.
The first guy was Nepal and according to a good source cheated on his
Math tests. Hum…The second girl was Hmong and the third was from South Africa…apparently
no American’s were good enough. Oh
Well. After the ceremony we went to
Olive Garden for lunch and then we were on our way to Nebraska. That 5 hour drive after eating a big meal was
brutal.
Once we got to Nebraska we headed over the Chris and Leilani’s house
for Morgan’s Birthday Party. The whole Nebraska
crowd was there and Eric’s parents. We had Lasagna and garlic bread. Yum! Leilani
also made a watermelon cake. It was frosted like a watermelon and tasted like a
watermelon. I had a bite of Eric’s…that was enough for me. I guess I don’t like
watermelon flavoring either.
Sunday morning we went to church, and then our traditional run to
Starbucks with Juliette. After that we
ran around Papillion and eventually made it to the graduation with 15 minutes
to spare. The family was split into two groups.
There were not enough seats so I sat at the top of the arena. I took a
picture of the two groups. In one, Eric’s
dad was sleeping and Chris was playing on his phone. The other picture I took
was Eric doing homework and Juliette playing on our iPad. They were really paying attention. LOL! I can’t say much I was playing on my phone
too. A couple things about this ceremony: they only had one speaker…thank God! And
the 1st annual Teacher of the Year award went to…the Head Principal…HuH? Can we say rigged?
After the ceremony we took some pictures in the parking lot and then
headed over the house for some pizza and veggies with the whole family. It was a good day.
Yesterday was another day of driving.
We took Juliette to Starbucks, dropped her off at school and went on our
way home. It was a good weekend. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
