Graduation


Two Fridays ago Manburger joined me as a college graduate. Hooray! The ceremony was held at the Aerospace Museum in Balboa Park. It was super neat because while Manburger was praticing with the other graduates, I got to walk around the museum, read about planes, and watch part of Flyboys. Before the ceremony they had cookies and punch and a huge Embry Riddle cake on display. The best part about the cake is that is wasn't just for show like the Marine Corps Ball cakes are, we got to eat a piece afterwards. One of Manburger's coworkers and his wife came to support Manburger as well. I was so proud of Manburger when he walked down the aisle and onto the stage. He's put up with about a year of crazy busyness just so he could get his bachelor's degree, and I'm so glad he did. Of course, watching him walk made me really wish I could've attended my own graduation ceremony. It's not so much that the ceremony is cool, it's the memory and signification of a new part of your life. We walked around the museum with Manburger's buddy and wife after the ceremony. Here's a picture of the boys fitting into a tiny plane. To end the evening we went out with our friends to Famous Dave's BBQ and had some yummy grub!!
