Kevin = Official Aggie Alumni!

Graduation day. An awesome day. I felt like I was walking around in a cloud of pride for Kevin. That sounds prideful, doesn't it? But I've come to the conclusion that some kinds of pride are good, and this is one of them. I've been a bit emotional all around lately, and the ceremony really got to me. I'm generally not much of a crier, but there was one point where the speaker had all the graduates stand up and wave to the families who had supported them through their college career, and I was really having a hard time not breaking down into big tears at that point. It was... very cool. Very happy. Just... a good day.

There he is! My handsome graduate with a big smile on his face.

We had planned on taking pictures around campus afterwards, but didn't get to because it looked like THIS when we got out.

Opening presents. Kevin got some fun stuff, including...

...a shotgun from his brother. I agreed to this only reluctantly. I'm pretty opposed to guns in the house. This baby is going way up in the top of the closet with a big safety lock on it.

And don't forget my cute cake! I tried so hard to get that blue to go Aggie blue, but it just wouldn't do it. Not even close.

Did I mention it was a good day? It was. And I want to give a big thank you to all the family members who showed up to support us. It meant a lot to us to have you there on this most exciting of days.

And now, I'm off to take a big, long blogging break.

So, until next year.... have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
