the graduate

I'm in Oklahoma.

It was a surprise for all except my dad, who picked me up at the airport, and suggested he drop me off at the front door so I could ring the doorbell and surprise the rest of the family. It worked. :)

I'm here because of this guy:

My little brother, graduating from Oklahoma State University. Woohoo!

Pomp and Circumstance.

It was a little different from my graduation ceremony a few years ago.

We didn't have bagpipes.

Or a jumbotron.
This was the first of three graduation ceremonies today. At Ryan's they very efficiently graduated the School of Business and the School of Health Sciences.

Hi, family.

We also did not have this at Taylor:

the old cowboy hat.

Yehaw.
Ooh, three at once.

We sang the state song, "Oklahoma!" Yes, "O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A."

And during the school song, all alumni joined together to sway and sing.

family family.

Cousin Ashley, Uncle Jeff, and Grandma.

It is also Mother's Day weekend, so I was thankful to be here with my mom and Grandma. So worth the trip!
