It was the best kind of graduation - short and sweet with lots of fun songs!

 They are ready...
and make serious covenants with each other!

Walking down Fisherman's Wharf

After the wedding, we made a trek down Fisherman's wharf
to continue the celebration.

 

The bride was escorted by a slew of handsome soldiers!

Quite a large group gathered to celebrate their marriage.

They made quite a spectacle and
garnered many well-wishes from passersby.

Celebration!

We all met at the Red Snapper on
Fisherman's Wharf for a wedding celebration.

The Tres Leches cake was delicious.
(I ordered it from a Mexican bakery in Gilroy.) 

We had a great view of the wharf from the restaurant.
We had a banquet room all to ourselves.

 

Notice the details!
We even found time for Danielle to have her first pedi-mani!
Her nails looked so cute!
Noelle lent her the pearl necklace.
The flowers were from a shop in Gilroy as well.

Rainy Days!

It rained hard the day before,
so we were all praying the rain would stop!
It held off for the wedding and trek down the wharf,
and only sprinkled a bit at the end.
Yeah for umbrellas!

Lance and Danielle Pettit

The happy couple ready to start their new life together!

Logan's Graduation Day

After 2 years of hard work, Logan graduated from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California.

Anne was a huge support to him!

 

He was able to graduate from the D.L.I. in Arabic
and earn his Associates Degree as well.
Only 7 guys pulled off that feat!

Congratulations, Logan and Anne!

 

Lance is at the D.L.I. as well, but is learning Korean. He is on the front end of the D.L.I. experience! It has been good for Lance to have Logan there to smooth the path, answer questions, and be a buddy.

Quite a group gathered to celebrate with Logan!

We are proud of you, bud!

Grandparents and Goodies!

Today was Grandparents and Goodies at Cook Elementary school.
Matt took off work early so we could both go with Michael.
He loved the attention....and the treats!

We had fun reading a book together!
