Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day weekend. We were pretty busy, but we still had plenty of time to relax. The festivities started Thursday evening when my youngest sister Katy had her pinning ceremony at Biola for her nursing program. It was fun to watch this more intimate ceremony with 27 girls as opposed to the larger graduation on Saturday with 575 graduates. Thankfully, the weather was nice for the commencement ceremony on Saturday morning. The speaker was great this year. Lloyd Ogilve, the former chaplain for the US Senate spoke. He was an awesome orator with a voice you could listen to forever. Afterwards, we had a small gathering back at my parent's house. Because Katy and Eddie are getting married in 6 weeks, they decided not to have a graduation party. We had a BBQ with family and a few of their close friends. On Sunday, Alissa and I went to see Revenge of the Sith again. She hadn't seen it yet, so I was happy to watch it again with her. She enjoyed it as much as I did. Yesterday we went to the pool for a little while and ended up at her parent's for a BBQ in the evening.
