of two parties

Karen graduated yesterday. I made the hour-long trek down to Cincinnati just in time to find a seat in the crowded gymnasium. She looked so adorable walking down the aisle! Once she graduated—with her Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology—we headed over to Western Hills Church of Christ, where she had her graduation party with all kinds of great food and great company. Her niece and nephew—Joselin and Jose—kept inventing games we can play together. They trashed the College Room, so I grabbed a blue marker and upon the whiteboard made out a list of things they had to clean up. I wrote on the board “This is not a Union… No one cares about your complaints!” Joselin and I ran out to the van, and someone asked Joselin, “Who’s that boy with you?” She replied, “He’s going to be my uncle in a couple years!” Ha. After the party, Karen and I went to her place and then ran to the store. I returned to Centerville, and Anna, Amanda and I went to a party. Lots of really great people were there, and we played cards and wii and had a basically good time. I got to see Chris and Pat today, whom I met years upon years ago, probably some of the best friends I’ve ever had. I’m getting more and more excited about Minnesota, but the fact that I won’t know anyone there but Larry—who, by the way, received a standing ovation at Graduation for serving in Iraq—is slightly unnerving. Here are some pictures of Chris (the one playing guitar), Pat, and my baby sister Amanda:
