First, I have to show you my graduation baby bump. I will be 16 weeks tomorrow, so my bump is getting very round! It's pretty cool that the Squido got to come to graduation with me!
Once we were all ready, my mom, husband, and I piled in the car and headed to campus. I was worried about traffic, but we got there in record time and I was actually early. So we decided to snap a few pictures before I had to line up so we didn't have to fight the crowds after the ceremony.
So then I had to go stand with all of the other graduates for over an hour before we finally got to process to the library plaza. The processional took forever and then we had to sit in the hot, hot sun while all the special announcements were made and the speeches were made. Our commencement speaker was Michelle Bachmann, so that was pretty neat. Then, every person was charged, had their degrees conferred, and then walked across the stage. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it the whole ceremony. I made it through all the grad students, but I got super hot and super dizzy and my mom sent me a text that really encouraged me to get out of the sun, so I snuck away and we escaped before the masses fled. I did have a headache for the rest of the afternoon, but overall it was a wonderful day! Here are some more pictures of everything I just mention:
