So I will leave you with some more pictures of the craziness that ensued...

John, didn't you drink that whole fishbowl yourself?

Who knew Danielle was a pilot!

Graduation! Holy Crap!

So blogging has taken a backseat, but I hope to redeem myself here. Here are a few pictures of the grand graduation weekend to get us started off...

The wonderful rents and me...

The whole family minus a brother-in-law...

So four of my Seattle friends made the journey back to Wisconsin with me. We started the trip off with a red eye flight into Milwaukee. As soon as we landed, Shannon and I made a beeline to Starbucks and all was right in the world again after my iced vanilla latte!

We spent two days in Kohler hanging out and playing with Kelsey before making the journey across the state to La Crosse. Crazy fun was the theme of the whole trip and I think there was great success. It was amazing to be with the family again and wonderful to see my nieces.

The only word I can find for the actual graduation was surreal. Surreal to be back in a place that in my mind, I had already graduated myself. For many of my classmates, the weekend was saying goodbye to four years of fun. For me, it was returning to a place I had already moved on from in many ways. Moving to Seattle has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done but has brought me to amazing places.

After the ceremony, the family and some friends hit up some dinner before meeting up with Jess and her family for fishbowls. Who's on 3rd had seen nothing like that before. My dad constructed a super long straw so there was no leaning over the table. That was just too much work I guess.
