We Made It, and Happy Birthday Caleb!

We graduated!!! Friday night Caleb wrote his speech, which he practiced a couple of times Saturday morning before commencement, where he did an excellent job delivering it. Everyone's favorite line was:

"I asked people for advice on what to talk about, and they all said the same thing, 'Don't be boring!' but unfortunately I am an accountant and that is just not possible."

In an address to a room full of accountants it went over pretty well. Jake filmed his speech and we will try and post it later on so you can see it. Afterwards Aunt Mel and Uncle Ron came into town and everyone went to dinner (Melinda's Mom and Dad, Caleb's Mom, Celeste, Jenna, Jake, Mel, Ron, Caleb, Melinda and Corbin) at Applebees.

Then we went and watched the Jazz game--which was amazing! How exciting that they pulled it off!

Sunday was great, totally stress free, no homework to worry about or anything!

And today was Caleb's birthday! We slept in (as much as the Bean would let us) and then went to lunch with Harmony, Derek and John. They Caleb had to run into work for a little while. At 6:00 we surprised Caleb with a BBQ in the park, which was a lot of fun. While he did not get a condo, he did get some really nice gifts, which were greatly appreciated.

We really liked this card from Grandma and Grandpa Nash, which on the front says, "I used the latest computer technology for your birthday card." And as you can see on the inside shows Snoopy standing on the high tech computer in order to place a traditional card into the mail.

And Corbin really liked the wrapping paper!

I am sorry about that background I did not mean to save it. I was just fiddling with it and it got saved to my blog. By the way I at least update my blog WEEKLY.
