We will just say it was a moving experience. ;’)
And a long one..what a day. Got up at 4am, had to pick my parents up, which my dad ended up not feeling well enough to go, but they are east of me and campus is quite a bit west of us both!
I tried to get a room, oh about a year ago…and they were already booked..but was all worth it in the end!
I feel bad that due to timing, I couldn’t get my wife to her friends son ceremony (without too much detail, essentially my wife’s godson) but everyone was quite done at that point. I offered to drop her off and drive 2 hours to drop my mom off and 2 hours back to pick her up, but she opted out. He was a different discipline so his was at 4:00 pm.
I’m not sure I would have been able to pull it off, because I would have had to drive back again after..but would have gave it quite the effort haha.
