Graduation weekend

Saturday, May 26 2007 (seems like eons ago, but we wanted to catch you up...)

Graduation day came and went to fast! Here's a run-down of the days preceding the big day.


Tuesday through Thursday, those good old Tanis parents helped us move all of our stuff into our new apartment. Without them it would have taken forever, but we were a great team and got the place pretty much all set up. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Our almost-done apartment...here's Tom and our interior decorator (aka Mom T).

Here's us at Panera one morning. Tom is busily looking for jobs.
During our brief visit to Littleton, we stopped by my soon-to-be work Littleton Large Animal Clinic (LLAC for short). We got a tour from one of the technicians. I'm glad the Tanises got to see where I'll be spending most of my time next year. Here is Mom and I sitting outside the front office.

Tom and I posed in front of the clinic.

Friday night the Cuda family (minus Emily) flew down from New Jersey and met up with the rest of us at the Senior Awards Banquet. It was a nice dinner and I even won a few awards! Here's some fun pics from the banquet.

I love my family!!

Friday was also our senior breakfast and graduation practice. Here's a collage of classmates that will be very missed!!

Some friends in the pictures...Marcia, Katie, Lindsey, Bri, Sam, Jason, Becky, Red, Beth, Maggie, Abbie, Terry, & Jodi.

Saturday, Graduation from UF CVM. The ceremony was very nice. Dr. Chrisman gave a very inspiring speech and Tim Holloway, our student speaker, also did an awesome job giving a humorous overview of our last 4 years.

Here's some photo ops with the family. Oh course I returned my gown before I saw anyone...oops.

Tom and I...

Cuda parents..

Tanis parents...

And it wouldn't have been a celebration weekend without a party with the Millers and Hookers, better known as our Florida family. Our best friends and gracious roommates, organized a fun and delicious dinner for visiting family and friends. The food was delicious and company even better. Here are some highlights...

Yummy food...

Thanks for the cake Elaine!

Black and white divas...and it wasn't planned! Three generations of brunette beauties...Amelia you have some good genes!

Going out to dance when Dorothy (aka Greasy Gina from Jersey....haha!) is a just a given when she visits Gainesville. We all went out both Friday and Saturday night. What a blast! Thanks for babysitting Mom and Dad Tanis!!

What amazing friends we made in G-vegas!

Do we know how to hav fun or what?!

To everyone who made Florida so difficult to leave...Thank you!
