Big Moments in the Billen/ Blaesser Household!

Well this weekend certainly was a busy one!

Recap -
* Thursday night - We celebrated Adam's upcoming graduation from USC with a bonfire at the beach! My brother Ryan, his wife Maria and their two boys Gavin and Marshall had just flown in the day before for Rhett's wedding so they were able to join us along with Adam's parents and his brother Nat! My sister, Sarah and he boyfriend Angelo also joined the fun. It was a good way yo bring everyone together to celebrate Adam's huge accomplishment.




* Friday - Adam's graduation! After 3 years in the part time MBA program at USC Adam is done! We made it up to USC and took pictures with Tommy the Trojan, strolled the campus and then "enjoyed," the ceremony. I mean really, how much does anyone really like going to graduation. They're a monumental moment and shouldn't be missed, it's just so boring! 700 names called off! The ceremony lasted about 2.5hours, but I guess that isn't much to ask of me to sit through, after Adam spent 3 years in the classroom! I'm so proud of Adam, he worked so hard and made it successfuly thought a top 5 MBA program! The graduation celebration ended at about 8:45 pm and we jumped in the car and headed up to Fresno!





*Saturday - We made it to Fresno at about 1am. Woke up the next morning with excitement to see Monica Thomas and Rhett Billen sealed for time and all eternity in the Fresno, CA Temple! It was a great ceremony and the spirit was very strong and delightful there. It was the first sealing Adam and I have attended since our own, so it was a neat experience for us as well.

Despite it being over 100 degrees we had a great time. The reception was a a cute vintage Tea House in downtown Clovis. The food was excellent and we all had a great time!

*Sunday - We watched Rhett and Monica open presents then headed home for the HB. When we got home we celebrated my nephew Marshall's 1st birthday!


It was a packed weekend, but a lot of fun. I love my family so much, it was fun to see everyone and celebrate these big moments together!
