Chris graduated from Law School on Saturday (May 16, 2009)!! I can't believe he's done! He worked hard and I am so proud of him! Great job sweetie I love you and look forward to our future adventures after school!
We had a great start to our weekend because Chris' parents, Craig and Kathy, flew down from Seattle to celebrate with us.

I wish I could say that Grant is admiring the graduation gown, but I think it might actually be the balloon?
It was a lot of fun going to Chris' graduation ceremony! Chris was inducted as a member of the Order of the Coif (t0p 10% of the class) so he got to wear a little white, felt "donut"- as we called it- on the top of his cap. So if you look closely, you can see Chris is on the very first row, with the first white Order of the Coif distinction on his cap (from left to right).
The night before graduation, the Law School had an open house, which we attended. During the open house our county was in the middle of a really bad thunderstorm. It rained so heavily that many of the roads were flooded, which made getting home tricky. Our normal 15 min drive from the law school to home took about 1 hour. It is difficult to see in the picture, but on the left there is a car floating in the standing water. We were grateful we got home safely that night.

Congrats to Chris!!! (And KaraLee for all that support I know you gave).
I drove home through that storm too, ick!
We'll miss you guys.
That's AWESOME! Congratulations to both of you--it's definitely an achievement for the student and the wife! :) Love you and miss you!
Wow, I bet that is such a wonderful feeling to be DONE!!! Way to go, little family. You all worked together to make it happen, and we are so proud of you! Now you can really get on with your lives, eh?! Wonderful job!
Congratulations Chris! You did it! We are so happy for you guys.
We're glad that you two were able to drive safely and weren't forced to go sailing like that other car.
I'm disappointed that the pictures don't show his hood. It's all about the hood. And I will get one next summer. And, yes, there will be pictures. Lots of them.
