Dianna's Graduation!

Over Memorial weekend Bob and I flew to Minneapolis for a few days to attend our niece's graduation and celebrate with half of Bob's family.

Dianna graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Biology. Dianna's mother Angela scheduled an itinerary for everyone which included some dinners, a brunch, the St. Olaf's Choir performing and the St. Olaf's Band Concert in addition to the graduation. The events took place on the beautiful campus of St. Olaf. It was wonderful visiting with everyone and sharing in Dianna's graduation.

We were all very proud of Dianna and her achievements. We all wish her the best in her future. I couldn't help but remember what seems like yesterday flying to Grand Forks and celebrating Dianna's 1st birthday. Now she is a beautiful young adult. It is unbelievable how quickly time goes by.

During the flood of Grand Forks ND Dianna and her two brothers spent a couple of months with us in Texas while her parents took care of the flood damage to their home. They even enrolled in school here. Sometimes something good comes from something bad and in this case Bob and I had the chance to get to know our neice and nephews and established an unforgettable bond and love.

The images below are of the graduation weekend event and some photos of other members of Bob's familiy who were able to attend.
