Syracuse Commencement Weekend!

Sooo, I'm finally putting up pictures from the Syracuse grad weekend that was May 9-10, 2009. It was held in the Carrier Dome and the commencement speaker was Vice President Joe Biden!


My "little" and all my other sisters from Phi Sig graduated this year...and it's just so weird thinking that I'm two years out of school and I remember these girls when they were just getting into the house as little freshmen and...I'm rambling. But I love them, and my boyfriend's brother Matt, who graduated with a Masters degree in Communications and Rhetorical Studies!

Secret Service...hawt.

Aww Matt!

VP Biden...speaking his speech...

A happy grad & fam & roommate. Matt will be off to the University of Colorado-Boulder for his Ph.D. in the fall!

Holland Wedding: Love In A Blue Box

I went to my first (judeo-christian) wedding! A true sign of age, I dare say. The happy couple are my (but mostly Alex’s) friends Kevin and Laura, fabulous urban professionals in Westchester Co., but they married in Syracuse, NY, where they met and went to school (like me!). They are on their honeymoon in the Caribbean now so I thought I’d keep the happy feelings going on this here blog. Boyfriend was the Best Man (but not best enough to snag L, har har) and shipped off to CNY the wednesday before the wedding to enjoy the planning…i.e. the bachelor party (i know the details and give myself credit for the ideas). On Friday I arrived for the rehearsal dinner at Pascale Wine Bar:

Bride to Be Laura and I

Later that night, at Chuck's Bar

Newlyweds...and one pesky garter!

Reverse garter!

Tonight is the Night

So, since I'm speaking retro-actively, tonight is the night I met my current boyfriend. Considering what I'm wearing...and what Jane is wearing...I'm really quite shocked he dug me. She looks amazing...and I look like I just got back from...linedancing or something.
