We left for Klamath Falls Friday afternoon to see Joel graduate from OIT Saturday morning. We drove up with my parents which made the drive much more fun...and interesting! We drove through a couple rain storms while heading over the mountain. We checked into our room and then waited for Joel to find out hotel so we could go to dinner. Joel took us to his favorite place in K falls. It was a little Vietnamese place and it was delicious!! I got a lemon grass chicken stir fry, medium hot, over steamed rice. It was so good! A little hot for me, so I just added plum sauce to sweeten it up a little. Yum!
After dinner we got some pie for dessert and headed back to the hotel. Joel opened a couple more gifts (his party was last weekend) from mom and dad and we all ate pie before heading to bed.
We got up early Saturday morning. We wanted to get to OIT by 9 to get a good seat. Before that though, we wanted to take advantage of the hotel's free breakfast. I am so glad we did. It was delicious! They had yogurt, bagels and cream cheese, fruit, coffee, tea, waffles, cereal......and more!!! I had half a waffle (split it with mom), a bowl of raisin bran, and a cup of tea. After breakfast we raced to OIT, but it was already packed out when we got there. Luckily, Sara had gotten there a little before us and saved us a row!!
It was so fun seeing Joel walk onto the field with all his classmates, and then walk up and get his dipolma!! He looked truely happy after he had it in his hands!!
After graduation, dad took us all out for lunch. We had a great time and gave Joel a hard time about how now he's going to be stuck working for the next 40 years! He's not stuck yet though! He's been living it up since graduation! We haven't heard a peep out of him. He's been hanging out with his friends and just having fun. And mom and dad got him a trip to Hawaii for his grad gift, so I'm sure he'll be using that soon to!! Congrats Joel! You made it!!!
We drove back Saturday after lunch, and got back home at about 6:30. Ladd was at the house with Emma, who had just decided that his new phone was a chew toy, and had ruined it, along with our laptop mouse. Thanks Emma. Luckily Ladd had insurance on his phone!!
Despite all that, Ladd made us dinner. He had gone to the Saturday markey and gotten fresh veggies and herbs. We had a good night watching movies, talking, laughing, and eating!!!
Sunday Ladd left in the early afternoon, and Trav and I started in on our chores and errands. Now it's back to work for the week. Busy week ahead! Mom's bday is Wednesday and we are celebrating Father's day as well, since mom and I will be in CA on Sunday! Also Trav and I have the dog trainer, dinner with Air, and we are visiting Lindsey, Brian, and Bria on Thursday! Bring it on!
