convocation...

the dental school get to put on their own graduation ceremony called convocation.... they dont officially graduate or get hooded till the next day at the main campus graduation but this is a nice ceremony for the grads and family to attend.  when chris got there (they had to be an hour early)  he found out there were nearly 20-30 students also sick with stomach issues of both kinds... and about 7 teachers were sick.... and a bunch of the spouses like me were sick!  yep!!! we got food poisoning!!!!!  this is why it is now the hilarious joke that the gala had "lasting impressions" on all of us... because it made us way sick for graduation weekend.

convocation was nice... chris was handed his hood by his brother jeff... and they hugged... probably for the first  time in their lives... ha.  they were all also given this cool medal. there were a couple speeches... including one professor who said he was pretty sure he was coming down with what half the students and teachers had... hahaha... and then they walked out... i was chocked up the whole time... why? who knows.  i'm so dang proud of chris and so excited and sad for all our friends to be moving on.

this one i'm showing how sick and sad i am...

grandpa giving advice... or secrets... haha

after pics we went home and straight to bed... oh wait.... chris ended up getting sick soon after we got home which meant neither he nor i got any sleep that night! he was so restless he decided to get out of bed and prepare for daniel's blessing that sunday.... haha in between getting sick...  poor us... it was a rough night!
