Well, he did it! After three years of classes, studying, and exams, Dan graduated from UVA Law! The week before graduation, Dan's parents came into town and wore Dan out. The first day, Dan took them up on the Blue Ridge Parkway and bowling. The second day, I took the day off and we went to Montpelier (President Madison's home).
This is my big 38-week belly.We also went out to eat to celebrate at Sakura, a good tepanyaki restaurant in Charlottesville. Here are some funny pictures of people trying to catch the food in their mouths that they cook was throwing at them.
Saturday we went to Ash Lawn (President Monroe's home).
Sunday was the actual graduation day. First up was the lawn ceremony where every graduate from all of UVA walks down the historic lawn. It was raining so right after Dan walked down, his parents, my parents, and I decided to leave and snag good seats for the law school ceremony that had been moved to a gym due to the rain. It was so stinkin' hot in there!!
I am very proud of Dan and grateful for all of his hard work!

that picture of dad is a trip. he looks like he's dry-heaving! congrats brosef on your graduation. i like that very last picture of you. it's gorge.
The dry heave comment is exactly what I said when I saw it. You should have just posted those pictures with no explanation. I thought Dan's dad was laughing. Dan looks awesomely evil in that last photo. Like a wizard of the false priesthood.
you both stole my wittyness. Right down to the wizard part... hmm I will have to reconsider the posting and then come at it from a fresh angle. oh.... and by the way congratulations... on making it through those terrible ceremonies of boredom inducing blahs.
I think I had my high school graduation in a UVA gym and it was sweat till you wrinkle up and the skin starts to peel off your face like that dude in the last crusade when he drinks from the gold cup and ages til he dies in 2 minutes. That's what my graduation felt like if you can string it out over 3 hours.
You're almost there! You look great as a pregnant Momma. Too bad the graduation was in U Hall instead of on the lawn. I was worried about that happening last year, but it was a gorgeous day. Congratulations to Dan anyway.
Congratulations!!!
So, what do you have on under the robe?
Could you email me the picture where Tyler is in front of you at the Lawn ceremony:) Thanks!
