Robert J. Bedont, MM

Today BJ graduates with his Master of Music from the University of Arizona! I am SO proud of him! Last night we went to the College of Fine Arts Pre-Commencement ceremony to see him get 'hooded'. It's when they drape the cloth, 'hood', around the front of their neck and down their back.

I was sitting pretty far back and it was dark so none of my pictures turned out during the ceremony, my flash didn't travel far enough and I couldn't zoom in close enough. Oh well!

It was a neat ceremony,

HOWEVER...

I thought it was the SHORT ceremony! It went for THREE hours!!

Yikes!

The kids did okay sitting through it all, but they were definitely ready to go home when it was over! This is what Samantha thought about how long it went....
So, we took some quick pictures and headed home.
Our future graduates!

But FIRST we had to stop so the kids could make a wish at the fountain!
It was a good evening. We love BJ SO much and are SO proud of all that he has accomplished!

2 down 1 to go!!

Seriously - Alli deserves a congressional medal of honor just for her work at the ceremony last night. Not to mention all the support that she has given to me while I do the school thing.

Love you Babe!
