On Sunday, Mon Amour officially graduated.
Complete with the 30 seconds of fame that comes with graduating as you walk across the stage and shake hands with some deans and such.
It was a momentous occasion.
Perhaps more momentous was the ordeal of trying to get out of the parking garage. Every friend and family member at graduation parked in one parking garage - and wouldn't you know it, the exit gates broke and would not let anyone out. The day was saved though when my mom and one or two other proactive individuals took charge and held open the gates to let people out. After an hour of sitting in the garage not moving, we all got out...and the poor garage lost a ton of money. Poor them. They willingly admitted fault though, saying they forgot to schedule staff because they thought graduation was next week. Ooops.
Anyway...
I am very glad Mon Amour has his masters; it was a good life decision I feel. But I am super excited that he is done!!
By the time we tried to get a picture of Mon Amour and Papillon, Papillon was quite worn out from the festivities. She really was more excited for the occasion than this picture suggests. (note the "I love daddy" shirt she wore for the occasion!)
