Graduation Day

Wow, I made it, after five long years, I was finally graduating.  So far graduation day was the longest day of my life.  My family got to Pullman around 3:00 on Friday afternoon.  We went and had Chinese food in Moscow.  All we did was pack up stuff.  Doug went out with his friends and I hung out with friends for a little while.  We probably went to bed around 2 a.m. that night waiting up for Doug.  He was supposed to be home at midnight.  It’s just a courtesy to others since Grandma Karen, Erika, Doug and I was going to sleep in the living room on the floor.  I got up around 6:30 that morning and got my stuff on, waited around for others and started walking over to Beasley.  It was a cold walk over.  They wanted you there at 7:30 standing in line and ready.  For the life of me I could not find the sport management people.  I called Starrla several times asking her if she was there yet.  I finally found the group I was suppose to be in and also found Starrla, thank god.  I saw Kaitlin that morning working on parking crew, I waved to her.  We finally got to walk in to Beasley and out of the cold.  We went in there and I immediately tried to look for my family.  It took me a very long time to find them.  Yay for text messaging.  We sat through the ceremony, which took about two hours and I was ready to get out of there.  We all walked home after taking dozens upon dozens of pictures.  I had Ashlee and Bri come over to meet my family.  Tucky was around for a while and I got some pictures with her before she left with Craig.  We all wanted some food, so we went down to Little Caesar’s for pizza while we finished packing up my stuff into all of the vehicles.  We finally got everything packed up and left after 2 p.m. that day.  That was my last official day in Pullman.

On the way home we caravanned it.  Mom, Grandma Karen, Erika and mom rode with me in the Intrepid, Dad and Doug rode in the Suburban and Grammie and Grandpa rode in their truck.  We took the easiest route down I-90 and stopped in Ellensburg at the BK Lounge for dinner.  We finally got home around 9ish that evening and unpacked the vehicles the next day.
