Graduation

Well, it finally came! Raulito's graduation! It has been a crazy week, with packing and everything, but we made it. Thursday we went to the commencement. Elder Ballard spoke and it was really neat. It was nice that there were not so many people there (being summer) and we got to sit pretty close to Raulito. Friday was the convocation. My parents, sister, and Aunt and Uncle came as well as some friends. It was great to see Raulito be able to receive his diploma! I cried at the end. He is such a hard worker and I am so proud of him. Afterwards, we had a little party for him and Rakel, because it will be her birthday on Tuesday. As happens, we were late to our own party, and I put the wrong address on the invitation, so who knows if people tried to come and we weren't there. Oh well, Rakel had a good time. Mom helped pack on Friday and Saturday, so we're making progress in that area. It will be another busy week, and who knows when we'll get our internet connected in the new apartment, so I'll post as soon as possible. Enjoy the pictures!

Ringing the victory bell. Rakel was too scared. It was pretty loud. Notice the dark clouds behind...We got rained on afterwards...Jumping for joy!The family: Mom, Shanise, Raulito, me, Raul, Rakel in front and my Dad in back Happy birthday Rakel! Shanise made the cake to resemble Rakel...It turned out pretty cute and took another thing of my to-do list for the week. Thanks!
