Graduation events!
Saturday June 10th
This day was a big day, not for me but for Nick. It was his Graduation from University of Washington after four years of studying! I was super excited because this is such a big thing here in America and also very different from back home in Sweden. Nick and I got ready for the ceremony, he in his cap and gown and me in a dress, we got lucky with the weather – sunshine :D. We walked through campus and there was students everywhere. We arrived at the Stadium and we met up with his family, took some pictures before we went separate ways. I sat with Nick’s family and we found some good seats. All the students walked out on the field and we were lucky that Nick walked in on our side so we could see him and also when he sat down. The ceremony started and there was a bunch of speeches and they called out all the names for the doctorates and they were probably around 100 students, it took some time. After a while it was finally time for the bachelor students, Nick’s time, to walk up to the stage and get their diploma. They didn’t called out the names cause that would haven taken way to long! When we saw him walking to the stage we cheered and applauded.
When the ceremony was over we waited for Nick outside and then we decided to go out for dinner, we went to a Chinese restaurant and it was really good! After dinner we did a little stop at Nick’s parents house before his mom drove us back to Nick’s place and after a quick run to the grocery store we drove to Golden gardens to watch the sunset while eating strawberries and drinking some sparkling wine 😀
Sunday June 11th
This day it was the Graduation party for Nick and his cousin, who had graduated High School. Nick and I went over this parents house around 11 am. Guest started to drop in around noon and Nick and I walked around and he introduced me to everyone in his family. They served drinks and some really yummy snacks! A lot of people came so it was a great but busy party. After a while it was time for the cake and it was so good 😀 When the party was over me, Nick, his sister and three friends went out for dinner at Red Robin. After dinner Nick. me and two friends went to a bar and played pool. It was a great day!
