Graduation

Frank graduated from the George Mason University School of Law this past Saturday. We're both glad to have law school behind us, but we're quick to remember that the Bar exam is still in front of us.

We celebrated with family and friends throughout the weekend. We started with a personal tour of the Pentagon on Friday afternoon. They don't let you take pictures there, so you'll just have to imagine what we (Me, Frank, Tina, Dad, Patrick, and Matt) looked like.

On Saturday was the actual graduation. Frank's parents, Dad, Patrick, and I all attended.




We managed to find Frank's favorite professor, Professor Krauss, outside after the ceremony where they had a quick (loooooong) chat about something interesting (not that interesting). :)


And I managed to strike up a conversation with Justice Mims, the graduation speaker for the ceremony. He was a nice guy and had some great words of encouragement for Frank as he starts his own practice.


Then we had some more family and friends over for a cook out. Judge Wooldridge came by for a bit which was really great. He has been a wonderful mentor and friend to Frank throughout law school. He's also just an all around nice guy.


Dad enjoyed getting to spend time with some of the Webb and Dickson clans. He hadn't seen any of them since the wedding, and I think everyone enjoyed hanging out in a smaller (and less crazy) setting.


The hound behaved - only because we bribed him with a huge bone. He would occasionally look up, but then go right back to chewin'.


Our friend Anna let us borrow her cornhole set, it was a hit with our friends as well as with Frank's younger cousins!


Some of the guys from Frank's wedding party brought their mugs to toast Frank's graduation.

On Sunday morning we went to the early service at church, then headed out to Vienna to my aunt and uncle's house for brunch. The food was AMAZING! I warned Aunt Susan that we may begin showing up on a regular basis on Sundays!
