That's MR. Graduate!

I'm a little bit late in posting this, but it doesn't make it any less exciting!

Mark Graduated!!!

here he is on his very last day of school. In order for him to graduate, he had to write a senior dissertation. On his last day of school he met with 3 advisers in order to defend his paper, so that is why he is dressed so cute!



Mark had his defense on Thursday and it went great! they just suggested a few modifications. He was making those changes on Saturday when i told him i had a surprise for him, blindfolded him, and took him to a....


SURPRISE PARTY!!



he was pretty surprised! I'm so glad all of our friends and family could make it!


After the party Mark's parents insisted that we get graduation pictures together since we both graduated so close to each other.




When it was all done we had a little balloon launch!



a few days later we got stuck for a couple hours on our way to AZ (story to come). While we were waiting, Mark called Melinda and had her check his email for him. There was an email from his main adviser telling him that his modified paper was approved and he OFFICIALLY graduated!

Here he is right after finding out he passed his last semester with a 4.0!


Mark, i couldn't be more proud of you! you worked so hard, and guess what??

YOU'RE DONE!!!
