Dave graduated yesterday with his Masters of Arts in Russian Translation and Interpretation at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. YIPEE!! Dave's parents came into town just for it and the day couldn't have been nicer. The ceremony was outside, which is risky in Monterey because you never know what the weather is going to be like. However, it was a beautiful day and we have sunburns to prove it (pictures below). The ceremony was a little longer than I think everyone would have liked and the heat didn't help but it was nice and afterwards they had a little reception.
That evening we had a BBQ at our friends, the Nilssons. It was in honor of Dave graduating and also kind of a going away party since we are moving in 2 weeks. There was great food and most of our closest friends from the area were there. We ate and talked a long time and then played the Wii and Taboo. We didn't leave until midnight. Good thing we all had church at 1:00. Thanks everyone for making it great! We are going to miss you! Here are some pictures from the exciting day.

ReplyDeleteDave thou art the master! Congrats you little dos user! I don't know if I ever told you, but your Heman post made me laugh so hard that my pharynx closed off. Not really, but you could imagine what that would be like. Anywho, love you like a toad.
