Jake graduated with his Masters last week and we're all so proud. It was loads of fun to go to the ceremony, stand for like an hour while all 5,000 (may be a tad exaggerated. sure felt like it though) graduates did their promenade (wait. promenade...i think that's a Junior Prom thing. well anyways, it's their little walk. you know what i mean) endured the wailing child directly behind me, and waited for all 5,000 to get their diplomas. It's a good thing I had my teddy grahams snack pack and tetris on my phone. Otherwise, I probably would've died.
Well we took pics afterward and then went to Jake & Melissa's for dinner. All the food was so good. Not too surprising with that girl. And then we watched the Jazz game while Chef Boyar-Lee made us Grape Julius's. He's totally my hero now. That stuff is soooo good.
Oh and Melissa had me write Jake a little poem. I think I had a little too much fun with it. It's rather cheesy but hey, it comes from the heart. haha....
Title: JACOB
Oh Jacob, Jacob you’re so cool
You’re so cool cuz you’re done with school!
No more books, no more papers, no more mean and strange professors.
No more time consuming projects to rob you of life’s pleasures.
No more high tuition payments to make your poor heart ache
Yes, the big money you earn now can stay right inside the bank.
Sadly, no more Tomassito's or strawberry sugared milk
No more breakfast, lunch, or dinner at the loud and crowded Wilk
No more journeys to the bookstore where they’re so glad to take your money
With their tough and merciless policies that make the honor code seem funny.
No more standing in the testing center with a mile-long and dreary line.
Only to reach the check-in desk and learn you’ve got a late day fine.
No more countless hours of study time on the famous fun fifth floor
Where you cram your brain with info til it has no space to store
No more dry and boring lectures or endless study cases
You’ve got a real job now and it’s bound to take you places.
Oh Jacob, Jacob you’re so rad
You’re so rad just like your dad
You’ve listened to his counsel and taken his advice
All your success and joy has left him so sufficed.
Oh Jacob, Jacob you’re the bomb
You’re the bomb just like 'your mom'!
She’s always been there to help you and give you all her love
Even when you think she’s done enough, she’ll go over and above.
Oh Jacob, Jacob don’t forget your sibs
With all our jokes and humor that could likely break some ribs.
Oh your stories and your laughter will always make us smile
Not to mention your boots and flannels with your country farm boy style.
Oh Jacob, Jacob you’ve got quite the life
You’ve got quite the life because you have a wife
She’s the perfect match for you so always treat her right
You couldn’t have found a better one who’s so beautiful, sweet, and bright.
Well school may now be over, but life has just begun
You may as well just buckle up and get ready for some fun.
Oh Jacob, Jacob you’re quite a special guy
Don’t ever take life for granted, cuz it may just pass you by.
So remember this day Jacob, cherish it in your heart
Don’t forget that you’re so cool and obviously smart.
Because in the center Marriot, amongst the roaring crowd,
Family and friends were cheering for you and are all so very proud! :)
