Congratulations to my Mom for graduating magna cum laude with her BSN from Regis University today. We drove up to Denver to watch my mom walk. The ceremony started promptly at 10, so we had to drag ourselves out of bed to make it on time. The weather was supposed to have been close to 70 today but ended up being overcast and windy while in Denver. Luckily, Grandma brought blankets to keep us warm. It was a long ceremony but my Mom deserved her moment for all the time she has spent working on her degree. You did, you’re finally done! I don’t think she’ll be going for a masters degree anytime soon.
To celebrate, for lunch we went to The Loop in Manitou Springs. They have some pretty tasty mexican food and HUGE margaritas. I made the mistake of filling up on chips and salsa so I had to get a to-go box for my food. The margaritas were only ok. Casey can make much better ones. My food turned out to be pretty good, I could have done without all the rice but it was good. My mom was kinda drunk after finishing off her BIG margarita. It’s been really fun having John here with us! We went by the theater this afternoon to pick up tickets to see X2…again. Only Jim, Casey, and I saw it on Friday so everyone else wants to see it too. After all that food and drinks for some people, we ALL needed a nap. So we slept for about 2 hours or so. After waking up, we watched Bad Boys and X-Men. We got back home not too long ago and are getting ready to head off to bed.
Today is also Nicole’s birthday. Happy Birthday Nicole!
