i had a pretty tight timeline between accepting the arizona job (yay!), visiting tucson for a quick weekend to check out apartments, and planning all the graduation celebration details, so the weeks really flew by!
i drove from san jose down to claremont a few days before graduation, so that i had some time to visit friends, tie up loose ends on my research project, and start to make preparations for the big day. my sister and her family flew in friday, and the rest of the family drove down that day, too. i got to pick up the kaases at the airport, and i even made a poster that said, "welcome kaases!" i held it up and waved it back and forth as they came down the escalator, but no one saw me :( i think they were still excited to be there, even though they didn't get the celebrated greeting i hoped to give them.
we grabbed lunch, checked into the hotel (my fave in the claremont area!), and the kids spent some time in the pool while my sister and i went to get pedicures at the place with the cushy chairs and long relax time. after our pampering, we headed back to the hotel where the half of the family who had been driving down, joined us also. we had a delicious dinner at my favorite place (YUM), and turned in for a relatively early night, since graduation was scheduled to start promptly at 9am!
