We have been to many graduations at Maryville with the weather varying each time. When I graduated with my bachelor's degree, it was freezing cold and now that Michael is graduating with his MBA, its a whole new feel...it's hotter than Haiti! Our family didn't arrive to Maryville too early due to the heat. We were also wondering what we were going to do to entertain Emma for the several hours before the ceremony began. Nevertheless, we made the journey to show how much we love and acknowledge all the hard work Michael put forth for this accomplishment, his MBA. Way to go Michael! We love you :)
Our view of the commencement, the very last row of chairs, but at least we were in the shade.
The beginning of the ceremony, the bagpiper.
The beginning of the Business Department.

Here comes Michael.
Happy to be completely finished with school!

And just about to call Michael.
Congratulations Michael!
So happy :)
Waiting for everyone in his program to return to their seats before heading out early (due to the heat).
