What a wonderful day yesterday at the Colorado School of Mines. The forecast was for rain/clouds/drizzle, but the sun came out just in time for the outdoor graduation ceremony and it was gorgeous. Brian and I met up with Laura and Ian's parents and were thrilled to see Ian walk the line...magna cum laude...civil engineering. It was a proud moment for all of us. And we were much more polite than the people sitting behind us who yelled, screamed, and set off an air horn. We just politely clapped and smiled...didn't want to embarrass the graduate. Afterward we had a great lunch and did a walk-thru of the church where Laura & Ian will be married in June 2011. (They weren't kidding when they said it was small!!!) Then we loaded Laura's things into the car just in time for the rain to begin. And it poured all the way home!!! Laura moved a few things into her temporary dorm room where she'll be for 3 weeks while she does her field session, and then she'll move into temporary housing in downtown Denver while she does an internship until she begins her senior year.
This week Amy will move home and begin pounding the pavement to find a summer job. Bethany will work for her aunt's promotional products business; she'll continue her volunteer work with the hospital and the fire department as well. And Brian and I are planning a relaxing vacation in the great NW sans kids/beagle. I suspect the summer will fly by...they always do!
