Graduation - Krannert School of Management class of 2013

YAY!!!  The day finally arrived!  Jerry graduated from Krannert School of Management at Purdue University on May 11, 2013!

His parents and brother, Barry flew in on Thursday evening.  We got together on Friday morning and took them on a tour around campus.  Then we ate lunch at Potbelly's.  

This is Rawls Hall.  Jerry lived in that building for the last two years.  

We came back to our house once Hayden and Rebecca got home from school.  They were so excited to see Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Barry.

Barry has secured his place in their hearts by giving horsie rides all night long.  

Saturday morning started the big day!  We headed up to campus and got really great seats.  It was almost surreal being there.  I'm sure it was even more for Jerry.  It was just an awesome day.  Jerry worked so hard for this degree.  The decision to go back to school was not an easy decision to make, but I'm glad he did it, and I am so extremely proud of him!!

As all the graduates were filing into the hall.

We had a big graduation lunch at our house.  I was able to try out some fun graduation treats I'd seen on Pinterest.

It was great being able to have Jerry's parents and brother there with us.  We appreciate their efforts to be there, so much.  We had to say goodbye to them Saturday night because they flew home Sunday morning.
Sunday after church, when there weren't so many graduates lining up for pictures we went up to campus to take a few more pictures.
