UCSD Graduation!!! hahahaha

My sister, Rebecca Claire Mitchell, graduated this year from San Diego State University!

yes...I do know that I put the wrong school in the title, it's an inside joke for my mom. Love you mom!

ANYWAYS....ever since I could remember Becca and I shared holidays, birthdays, and other special events together, and graduation isn't any exception. Being the older sister I have to admit that always having a little sister to have to share with was sooo... not cool and a bit annoying, but my feelings have maturely changed! I say that my parents were smart planning our birthdays four days apart, but my mom says otherwise.

Jordan and I traveled down to sunny San Diego and loved every minute celebrating, laughing, and hanging with friends and family!

I think this should be a Christmas card picture, mom!

Much better pictures than that of my winter, cold graduation!

This picture is so funny because Jordan thought that he was being funny, didn't realise that he ended up in the picture, and just looks like a goof in the background!

My gorgeous Aunt Mary made cute picketing signs for Becca! As you can tell it was a great way for her to spot us in the huge arena crowd. It was fun to wave them and yell like monkeys when she walked across the stage as her name was called so victoriously!

Again much more elaborate than mine, I got to see in the row RIGHT in front of my family!

The whole gang!

After the ceremony we enjoyed family, dinner, and games at Dave and Busters (chuck E cheese for adults). There my beautiful Aunt Sara gave a historical gift. When I say historical I mean it! She had saved art work from when we each were younger having slumber parties at her house; then framed them with our graduation announcements. There is so much that my old art work can say about who I am now and the work I produce now, Its funny!

That weekend we relaxed at my wonderful Aunt Joyce's house in Ramona, which is about 40 minutes away from Becca's apartment. I always feel like I'm staying at a resort there. Sadly I didn't get any pictures there, but the afternoon Jordan and I were set to leave we stopped at a place called hodads. I good burger joint that was featured in the food network show: diners, drive-ins, and dives.

My dad left me a surprise on my camera!

Becca, I am so proud of you and your accomplishments! I am honored to have been able to share it with you and can't wait to be able to scream your name again in your next graduation! You are a great, grand, and glorious women. I'm glad to see our sister rivalries turn into sisterly love. I love you with all my heart! XOXO -big sis
