It was fun, even though it was all make-believe (I hadn't completed all the requirements for graduation yet). I participated in both the college convocation and in the university-wide ceremony. My mom and brother flew down to attend my graduation, and several friends came in from out of town. Here are some photos of the graduation ceremonies:

I don't have photos of the party yet, but I will post them when I receive them. It was tons of fun! I had it at a park with natural springs, ponds, water fowl and palms swaying in the wind... As close to an island atmosphere as you can get when you are hundreds of miles from the ocean! Lots of friends came, including some from out of town. We had grilled hamburgers and veggies, as well as fruit. People visited and caught up with one another's lives. The weather was perfect. I didn't get to chat with as many people as I would have liked, but it was good to see so many friends there. Definitely a day to remember.
