We wouldn't be the Chupp's if we weren't a little cheesy:)...for my parents, I put together a photo of my first day and my last first day of school. They helped and supported me every step of the way!
Getting ready to graduate (and eat the Greek food my parents brought from Marietta)!
It's official, I'm a master!
It was also interesting to watch how things have changed. There were several people around me on cell phones: one calling family members, one updating their facebook status and another tweeting away.
Bryan got a front-row seat to the ceremony--he played in the commencement band! I got to see him and a bunch of other friends right before I walked across the stage (so I think he has some more really great pics...if I can get these other people to update their blogs too...ahem...).
But the best part of the day was yet to come...
The doors to my house were open when we walked back...weird, I thought. So I walked through to the back door and got the best graduation present ever!
The surprise look on my face when I saw both, yes, both of my siblings standing in a yard fully decorated and ready for a party!!!
I took off running toward Kyle and Carly:) Wow, what a BIG surprise!
My mom didn't talk to me for about a week because she was scared she would blow the surprise.
Kyle flew in from Canada...
and Carly changed her ticket and came back two weeks early from Singapore!
Love these two!
An eight-year-old cake apparently instigated this entire plan.When I graduated high school we had a cake with my photo that was left uneaten (no one wanted to take a knife to my face I guess). So we vacuum sealed it and froze it-the joke was that we would use it for college graduation.
It didn't make it in 2005 to Jacksonville, so Carly was bound and determined to get it to me herself this time! And the funny part is...it actually tasted pretty good and everyone enjoyed it!
Carly and Andrew
me and my sister:)
