It seems incredibly futile to try to write about everything that's happened, but I suppose that's what I get for letting major events pile up on me like this. First and foremost, I have to mention that I have suddenly become a college graduate. The ceremony took place at 9:30 on Saturday morning and lasted until noon, I think. About ten family members descended on the house afterwards to celebrate, an event for which we'd spent the two previous days cleaning the entire house with more diligence than the act has seen in probably half a year or more. After a few hours everyone left with nary a chair out of place and our fridge stuffed with delicious leftovers-- short, simple and sweet. In addition to this, Matt's mother flew down to visit him for several days this weekend, offering a nice opportunity for our families to meet one another. All of these things spanned Thursday to Saturday; since then we've been preparing for the next event, which is a trip to visit my mom and grandmother out in Arizona. We're leaving early (early) tomorrow morning and will be gone until Saturday evening. Since I haven't seen my mom in quite a while, and I've never been in any states not flanking the east coast, I'm quite excited.

This summary is sterile and lame, I know, but it'll have to suffice for now. Once I get back from Arizona many pictures will be posted and details filled in.
