Go Beach! Commencement 2010

Even though I still have another semester  at CSULB, I walked in the commencement ceremony last week.  It was a 1:00 ceremony, but with a nice cloud cover it wasn't too hot which was very nice.  I didn't want to walk, but the parents really wanted me too, and to my surprise it wasn't too bad.  With all of our 21st century technology I could talk to my family in the stands the entire time-cell phones!!

Mothers Day Surprise

We celebrated Mother's Day with the family on Saturday at Lisa & Rick's.  Sharon called me early in the morning on Tuesday to say she was going to surprise Mom by coming home for Mother's Day.  So we decided to make her a present-I made a 7 foot box (very difficult) and decorated it in white paper and purple ribbon.  When Sharon arrived at Lisa's we stuck her in the box and set her on the front porch.

Western Intercollegiate Rowing Association Finals, May 1 & 2

Sharon and the UCSB Crew team competed in the WIRA's this past weekend in Sacramento.  They did excellent.  Sharon rowed in the Varsity 4 boat and Varsity 8 boat.  Varsity 4 won silver! Varsity 8 finished 5th! Sharon was so excited.  Mom and Dad went up for the weekend, so here are some of the pictures.
