THURSDAY, APRIL 28-- The night before graduation, we had a big graduation party for Brody and 3 other guys from our ward who started and ended at Thunderbird the same time as us. It was a lot of fun putting it together with the 3 wives and I thought it turned out pretty good!

FRIDAY APRIL 29-- After graduation the next day, we went out to lunch with both our families at a yummy pizza place in downtown Glendale.
Then, we all went to a movie, the girls did a little shoppping, and then we all met back up for a Diamondbacks baseball game.

All 9 of us...

After the game, we went back to our apartment for a cake I made for Brody and ice cream.

SATURDAY APRIL 30-- The next day, we sort of split up and did our own things with our own families. Brody went to lunch with his mom and her husband, and then went to a festival with his dad. I went down to Mesa with my family to go to the temple and visit our friends and family members down there.

It was a fun few days and we feel very lucky that our families were able to celebrate this big day with us!

Fun times, I'm glad I was there for most of them. Just think what an expert party planner you've become in the last year! You could almost start your own business! Seriously! Is it nice to have some down time for a few weeks to relax and get caught up on everything?
That was such a fun weekend! :)
Great post. I can't believe that part of your life is over. I remember that video you made for your family to "I'm already gone" like it was a couple of months ago. I think I cried a couple times when that song would come on, thinking about how you are leaving. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be and I am glad we have remained so close.
What a great party! I am sad we missed it. I still can't believe you're gone for good and I'm so glad you enjoyed living in AZ.
