Today was my graduation ceremony, and a bunch of my family came out from Colorado to be with your mom and I for the occasion. It was a fun day with a lot of celebration and nice way to cap off a long academic journey.

Your mom and I pose for photos outside the Saroyan Theater in downtown Fresno, where the ceremony was held. |

Me and the family before the ceremony. From the left, your grandpa Ed, your Aunt Shannon, and your Grandma Diane. |

Your mom made sure to get some photos of me walking across the stage, here being congratulated by Dr. Sharps. |
 |
We had a laugh at the measly offerings from the school after dropping well over $100,000 on this education: a tassel and a mug. |
 |
Your mom really made me feel special that day. I remember this hug so well. Next to us is my Nana, your great-grandmother Rosemarie. |

Afterwards, my parents treated us to a nice early dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, Andiamo's. |
