j. t. hansford, college graduate

It was so great to be able to travel to Colorado last weekend for my baby brother's graduation from CU.  Apparently he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering... for the week leading up to the graduation, I had been telling everyone that it was electrical engineering.  Obviously I know nothing about the field or how those two types of engineering even differ.  Luckily, those who I were mainly telling were my little old patients, who probably wouldn't have remembered anyway...so I think the unintentional lie will go unnoticed.

ANYWAY, congrats bro on graduating with MECHANICAL engineering from CU.  We are all so incredibly proud of you and love you so so much!

Here are some pictures of the department ceremony:

I love my brothers.  And Brian and I love our "Little" brother.

Grandma and I were super excited that Jared was graduating.

Now, the department graduation happened to fall on Cinco de Mayo.  This made it hard for some people (ahem...Jared), to show up for the real graduation ceremony the next morning.  Come on, CU, think that one through next time.  Yes, Jared made a little bit of a late entry into the graduation, but not before receiving numerous somewhat threatening texts and phone calls from his loved ones who had already arrived to demonstrate our love and support.  We were just glad he showed up.  We love you, JT.  And, yes, we know that you will always been one who loves making an entrance.  ;)

Proof that he did in fact show up.

The amazingly awesome graduation card that I got him.

"The Picture."  Have I mentioned that I love my brothers.  Immensely.

And then there was the party.  There's nothing quite like parents playing Flip Cup.

I heart this family.  And my sister.

We also got to celebrate Mother's day!!!  It was so fun for mom to have all three of her kiddos for mother's day.  We love you to the moon and back.  :)

Mother's Day Breakfast.

And here is a picture of me and Charlie Sheen...  Wait, I mean my Dad.  :)

It was a wonderful visit and, of course, flew by way too quickly.  Hopefully I'll get to see my familia again SOON.
