~ERIN'S GRADUATION!!!~

Gonna keep this short and mostly just post pictures of the highlight of the day... ERIN'S GRADUATION!! Many congratulations to Erin for graduating college! The ceremony was really great and so many people came to be present for this important event!

At the ceremony I was able to really 'meet' Erin's whole family which was really nice as they are such a fun family. :P A few other classmates I knew were also graduating; one of them (a different Maki from my roommate Maki) graduated with honors and was one of the group of students graduating with a 4.0!) Down below you'll see a picture of me with her and some other friends including Robin (Linda Fujikawa's husband, the guy in the wheelchair), Matt, Masami, and others. Oh, just a interesting 'fact' but there are 20 students chosen all across US community colleges who receive a special award in excellence... and one of the 20 students was selected from Kapi'olani Community College! You can imagine how proud everyone was to have such a student. ^_^

Doesn't Erin look 'weighed' down with all the leis? lol!

After the ceremony, about twenty of us altogether went to Old Spaghetti Factory to celebrate. We really had a fantastic time and had so much fun talking, laughing, and having good fellowship.

And now... tomorrow I'm off to California! I'm so excited about the trip though the downer is that I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning for out 7:30 flight... *sobs* I really hope I can sleep well on the plane. Paul will be at the airport to meet us and then on Sunday we're all going to Universal Studios! VERY excited about going there as you can imagine! Certainly a dream come true!

For 'the end', here's a picture of Erin and Tina fooling around. We had been teasing Erin about having to wear dark glasses at the ceremony because of her recent eye surgery so we got both her and Tina to wear sunglasses. You can see how 'cool' they are... lol!

So I'm off to Cali tomorrow; I'll try to post blogs but we'll see. ^_^
