Yesterday was Anthony’s college graduation! It was hard to believe he was already graduating from college! It feels like he just graduated from high school last year. The graduation ceremony was at the colesium at 10am. We had a nice group of family & friends there to cheer him. After a nice, but long, ceremony we headed back to my house for an after party. We munched on finger food while Dad warmed up the baked ziti… yum! We all just hung out and had a wonderful time. I am so glad all of us got to get together to celebrate Anthony’s accomplishment! Seven more months and we’ll be celebrating his wedding!
So for those of you wondering what Kaitlyn’s Uncle Anthony is going to be up to now that he has that college degree under his belt… he’s going back to school. Yes, that’s right, he is starting to get his Masters degree this fall at The Citadel. He is looking and applying for a job, and while nothing has come up yet he does know he wants to continue his education. Last I heard he plans on becoming a Social Studies teacher. I think he will be great!
And then today… Happy Mother’s Day! I hope all of you Moms had a wonderful and relaxing day. Mine was pretty easy going. I was looking forward to going to the pool this afternoon, but Mother Nature decided otherwise. The afternoon thunderstorm cancelled my hopes of hanging out in the pool with Kaitlyn. That’s ok though, we’ll get our fair share of the pool this summer.
And as I always say, please visit my Flickr site for more pictures from Anthony’s graduation. I hope everyone has had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
We decided to go on another trip to Disney! Mimi, Papito and Aunt Veronica were going to Orlando for cheerleading and said they were going to go to a park one of the days. I had the time off, so I decided to take Kaitlyn and crash the party. 
I am so happy we went! While we missed Sean, we had a wonderful time! We stayed at the Coronado Springs resort, very nice by the way, and ended up going to Disney’s Hollywood Studios & Epcot! We really lucked out at Epcot! We were walking around trying to find something kid friendly for Kaitlyn, when we noticed Epcot’s character spot with 5 characters there to meet! The line was a little long, but I didn’t want to pass up the chance for Kaitlyn to see Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald! I wasn’t sure how she was going to act since less than a month before that we were in Orlando and had breakfast with the characters. She was not a fan of getting close to the characters at all! I expected the same reaction, but this time was completely different. Once she saw Mickey Mouse, the first character of the 5 to see, she was so excited!!! She did not want to wait her turn, she just wanted to run up to him. I went up to the first two with her, but she did the last three all by herself! She was so sweet too, gave them all a big hug and a kiss. After that character meet, we ended up seeing Chip & Dale, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and the Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. We really lucked out with the characters in Epcot! You can see more pictures on my flickr site (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tori_ryan/).
