I am officially a MBA graduate!!!

My Mom, Dad, brother Jacob and sister-in-law Ashley traveled up to Michigan to be present for my MBA graduation and luau party. They arrived on Thursday - we hung out at the house most of the day and played a lot of Wii Bowling & Rockband 2. We also had a great dinner of king crab legs, steamed shrimp and rice.

Friday started with a quick trip to Lexington, Michigan to have lunch and check out the sites and shops. We then went home to get ready to head out to my graduation, which was in Flint, MI. (we did A LOT of driving on Friday!!!) The graduation ceremony was Friday night at 7pm - after a nice event we stopped at Lucky's Steakhouse on the way home for a tasty celebration dinner.

Saturday Ashley, Mama and I did a little shopping for Michigan souvenirs, then we headed home to set up for my graduation luau party. The weather was a bit cold, but we still had a great time eating the Hawaiian food (provided by Chef Chell's Catering, it was delicious!), catching up with friends and of course playing some more Wii bowling. Even my Mom gave it a try - she was actually quite good!

Sunday we relaxed and packed up everyone's belongings - we stopped in Greektown on the way to the airport. We had a great dinner at Pegasus, then checked out the Greektown Casino and some other downtown Detroit sites. It was a fun and busy weekend and I am so happy my Mom, Dad, Jake and Ashley were here to share this special time with me. I will post some pictures soon!!!
