Come one, Come all!

I've got three hours to go before the first arrival of family members for our grand graduation celebration (granduation-ebration?). We really feel so honored to have such a tangible sign of the support in our lives. It can be overwhelming at times. The influx count is currently at 12: My parents, Sarah's parents, my brother and sister-in-law and their daughter, my aunt, my step-grandmother, Kevin Haworth and his girlfriend, and John Stepanian (thanks for the grand surprise, John - it's the best graduation gift I could ask from you!).

Everyone is welcome to join us in our festivities. In case you want to randomly show up at any event, here is a pretty rigid schedule we put together (rigidity may be uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as navigating varying opinions amidst indecisiveness). If you are going to pop in, just call me on my cellular: 503/720/0118

See you on the other side!
