This past weekend Ryan graduated from Drake Law School!! I'm so proud of him. I can't believe it has already been 3 years. Time flies. Because Ryan was graduating we had a ton of family here. On Thursday Mom Dalton was joined by Dad Dalton and Ryan's brother Shawn and sister Mindy with her little boy Austin. Also Ryan's grandmother and his aunt Debbi came. I was so excited that so much of his family came up. All the girls went shopping Friday in the afternoon. I love going shopping with the girls, we had a ball. Kaitlyn and Emily had fun, until it was Kaitlyn's nap time. Lol, in a few years I'll be the one begging to go home for a nap. Well after we got home from the mall we got ready for the graduation. Ryan's mom got me 2 beautiful dresses so I'd have something to wear. One was white and blue, Drakes colors, so I decided to wear that one. I also had white and blue dresses for the girls so we all match. I know I just can't help it, 2 girls-twice the fun. I love dressing them in matching colors. Anyway then my family got here. Mom and Dad Wilson, my brothers Andrew, Jace, and Kurtis, and my sisters Jessica and Tiara. Ryan and I both have sisters that are newly weds and couldn't come- Katrina and Julia- we missed you and love you! We did a small photo shoot before graduation because we weren't going to bring Kaitlyn, and Ryan had to return the cap and gown. Here's some of us just before we left:
Well honestly, I thought graduation was kinda boring. I felt like a little kid at church, I couldn't sit still. But there were 2 great parts; 1st ofcoarse seeing Ryan walk across the stage and 2nd being the president of Drake. I didn't enjoy his speech but when he stood up to talk I almost laughed out loud. He was wearing a medalion of some sort that looked like a rappers bling. Mindy was sitting next to me so I turned to her and said he's bling blingin. So we laughed and got a picture of it to show the boys. Mindy told Shwan he got up there and sang My chains hang low. We got a good laugh out of that. Here's a picture of it.
Well afterwards we got some closeups of the proud grad, here are some of my favorites:
Afterwards we all went out and celebrated at Cheddars. It was very fun and I'm so glad that everyone could be there to help us celbrate.
That was Friday, and on Saturday we blessed Emily, but I'll post that next time.
