Graduation...

Me.  Cheese!

My Aunt Mel and Uncle Bob (my mom's brother) First of all, I love this picture.  Secondly, I was so happy they were able to come.  My Uncle is a building inspector in Orange County, and his work made him take this huge class the whole week of his vacation.  He got off work the evening before, they drove to their house in Havasu, and then made it down that morning.  What troopers!

Joe definitely gets the award for "person who traveled the furthest"... but he knows he had to.  Right Joe? ;)

My very favorite picture from all of my graduation festivities.  This picture was taken at the ceremony with President Obama.

The family... please don't ask me what was going through my brother's mind at this moment.  This picture also reminds me that I don't think I look any more like one of my parents than the other... but that's me.  Maybe I'm wrong?

Joe's mom and dad- in case you were wondering Joe's dad fills in for the Monopoly Man part-time

See? Told you Obama was there...
