cory's a college graduate now!! :]

yesterday cory graduated from college!! :] i'm sooo proud of him! it's a huge accomplishment!

reed drove down on friday for the graduation & brought gib & doug with him. friday night, right after they got here, we went & looked at a new house we might move into. it's nice, big [4 bedrooms & a full basement], and $200 less than what we're paying here for our 2-bedroom apartment. the only thing we have a problem with is that it's all on-street parking & we would prefer a driveway or parking lot at least. so we're still looking but it's a great option if we cant find anything else.

after the house hunting, we went to burger king, then watched an awesome movie [grandma's boy]. i highly recommend that movie & it is even funnier if you know our roommate mike. :]

yesterday was the graduation ceremony itself, which was just like any other, to be completely honest. steve fell asleep, mike got bored & played w/his yo-yo [lol], the works. but it was great to see cory finally get his degree. :] i couldnt be more proud than when i saw him walk across that stage.

after the ceremony, we all went with kim, drew, casey, jason, miguel, & drew's family to a park right outside lancaster where kim had rented a pavilion for the day. we had a nice cookout/surprise graduation party for cory & drew. the one drawback was that at 6 cory had to work, but only for an hour so he didnt miss much of the party.

then we went to an after-party at kim's house [minus drew's family]. me, casey, & kim bought a bunch of alcohol [captain, peach shnapps, smirnoff, md 20/20, etc] and accessories [cranberry juice, lemons, etc] for drinks & almost everyone got sooo trashed! i said almost because of course cory, reed, & doug didn't drink. instead they watched the baby & laughed at us drunk people. lol. some highlights: it was gib's 1st time drunk & he was so horribly obnoxious! :P kim made some awesome shrimp things, i got cake smeared all over my face, hair, & hoodie, drew & cory got pummeled w/water balloons, everyone enjoyed playing drunk sing-star, & drew popped his first champagne bottle. it was a good night all-in-all. :]

today we slept in [we didnt get home until 4 am last night! O.o] and spent the rest of the day just hanging out, playing video games, eating metro, whatever. :] reed, gib, & doug are staying just one more night & leaving tomorrow after we go to park city, but it was a great weekend.

oh and did i mention cory got me a dozen red roses & a card for mother's day? :] yea, he's that awesome. :]
