Graduation Recap

I have been waiting to blog until I got the pictures of Cory's Graduation but since I still don't have them I will just update on it. So those of you probably knew this already but Cory graduated on his 23rd birthday! So needless to say I knew that weekend would be busy, I just didn't know how busy. On Friday night we went out with some friends of our to a place call buffalo wild wings and it was very good. But we called it an early night because Cory's Big Day was the next day. So Cory's friend Craig came to pick me up a full half hour earlier than I was expecting him... (BTW Guys don't do that EVER! He was confused on the time though). So we went to the gym to meet Cory's mom (Jane) to find out where we were sitting. Then next to Jane was my mom and Jerry. I immediately left Craig in the dust as I ran to go hug my mom (Craig thought I was going to tackle someone by the way I took off). Then when Brian and Jennifer showed up with Emily it was pretty funny to watch every one's reaction to realizing who was calling Emily's name. So after the shock wore off we sat through graduation and I can't begin to tell you how proud of Cory I am. Afterwards there was a LOT of pictures to be taken since there was at least 23 people there to support him. We then went to the house that the party was at and celebrated with friends and family until about 5 or 6. Then his friends and I took him to downtown Fullerton to celebrate his birthday. Lots of stories from that night that I wont talk about. The next day we went to Seal Beach to have some lunch with my parents. We went on the Pier to Ruby's and Jerry especially got some good time bonding with Emily. It was really great to watch them spend time together. We had to leave because Cory was getting a suit from his uncle and came home with 2 suits.

Honestly I feel like we are just now recovering from everything. He is just now being able to write his Thank You notes. As a side note I have a couple of cards that need to go out, you know who they are going to, I am sorry they are so late but you will get them!
