Graduation and Ellie Turned One!

Well I am absolutely terrible at formatting this dang blog and getting my pictures in the right order!Just read from left to right, one column at a time! Hopefully you can still enjoy this forever long post!

Friday night we spent the night in Logan at our friends' house so that we didn't have to drive up so early. I got all dolled up and then Jordan dropped me off at the Quad to meet with all of the other graduates. I found some friends to chat with since we had another hour before the ceremony would start. Jordan liked that they had the president of Nike speak to us. My favorite speaker was our valedictorian. I also really enjoyed doing the Scotsman for what might be the last time. :)

The second ceremony was for the college of Science and it was short and sweet. Jordan recorded me and mom snapped a bunch of pictures so you can see if she puts those on facebook. Mom, Dad, Charley, John, Kathy, Tyler, Justine, Eric, Tayvia, Jordan and Ellie came to that ceremony and then we had lunch at Village Inn after. So fun to have so many loved ones to celebrate with!

Ellie and I enjoyed a nap on the way home so we could be ready to party. Not sure Ellie got quite enough sleep though. At least eating her cake cheered her up! She wasn't so sure about the birthday song though...

Cute candy graduation caps made by mom!

Marti and me! She is so awesome that the University even mentioned her by name in his address to all of the graduates. I was proud to say I am her friend!!!

Mom, with the help of Grandma Bailey, Made me this cute graduation bear cake. Hoping to cut into it tonight.

A picture by the bull. Should look familiar to all of you Aggies! Hopefully just because you have seen it, not ridden it..... sick!

Jordan was busy with secrets secrets and printed all of these beautiful photos of me. His mom put together the banner to hang for our graduation/birthday party.

Not a great picture but I thought it turned out looking great! I set up the table and kindly requested Kathy and Justine to make cupcakes for it. They did a great job! Aggie ones for me and cute birthday ones for Ellie!

Mom made Ellie this mini bear cake!

Ellie went to town on her bear. These are his remains. :)

This little dog is just one of her many new fun toys. She also got a bunch of adorable clothes. Pictures to come. :)

Her and I were both showered in gifts. This isn't even that far into the gift opening that we already had this much gift wrap!!! Won't need to buy gift wrap for a while. Thanks for the many gifts!
