CONGRATULATIONS JULIE!!
This morning we got up way stinkin early and got ready for the day - it's graduation day!
We won't talk about the drive to, or from, graduation - let's just say that it wasn't pleasant. But let's DO talk about graduation!! It was nice to be there - so far I have been able to make it to the last 3 cousin college graduations! Christine's, I surprised my grandmother - she didn't know that I was coming out for it. David's I planned on being at, and for Julie's I didn't think that I would make it ... but I did!! Yay!! After graduation was over, we took some family pictures and then Jules went in to get her diploma. I then went into the bookstore to FINALLY get my Union College sweatshirt that I have been asking for for the last 8 years! lol Rumor has it that I just needed to wait until Christmas so if Santa wants to give me a second one, I'm totally fine with that!! ha ha ha We then headed to my grandmother's for lunch.
My Aunt and Uncle graciously invited Matt and I to join them at Julie's graduation dinner so we met them at A Taste of Europe in Cobleskill, NY (http://www.atasteofeuropeny.com/). We were also able to share the evening with my grandmother, Julie's other grandmother, David, and Julie's boyfriend Alex. Dinner was even more special because the restaurant is normally closed on Sundays but the owner is a close friend of my Uncle and they opened the restaurant just for Julie's dinner! AW!! And the food was divine! Pretty much everyone ordered something different and they were super cool enough to let me have a bite of each of their dinners. I love my family!! Oh my God and the desserts!! Mmmmmm YUM!! It was a looong dinner so we are pretty much going to bed now that we are back home.
Nighters!
