The Wager-Bailey Graduation

Last night we went to Marta's house for a graduation party for me. I was expecting something pretty low key but little did I know what I was in for. There was a program, speakers, and the graduation walk all for me!!!! It was so much fun and I loved all of it! Thank you so much to Krystal, Marta and Ed for being so wonderful to me. And thank you to my family in Texas. I know you would have loved being here and we missed you all! I love you all so much. And now for the highlights of the evening....


They had me wear a cap and everything. If only I had brought my robe....



The Program for the evening. You couldn't read the program when it was all on one page so I broke it up into half pages. It was too good not to let everyone read it





Krystal did an awesome job of conducting the ceremony



AWWWW..... Such a beautiful speech by the best guy in the whole world



I was all excited to hear what he had to say



This was my "Change the World with my Degree" speech! I feel like I look humongous in this picture. It was just a bad angle I think....I hope... :/



The introduction to the walk



The graduation walk...it was hilarious that they had me do this. I loved it!



Being presented with my degree. It's so amazing being valedictorian and getting my very own ceremony!!



And finally the end of a fantastic ceremony.



And those in attendance......


Ed and Marta



Jennifer and Jan (I don't know who it was Jennifer had with her)



Felipe, Jordan, and Felicia is in the background. We didn't get a good picture of her unfortunately.


Steve and Lon



And finally Ernesto and Amanda



And as if the night couldn't get any better....Marta and Krystal made empanadas.



Thanks again for an incredible night!! You are all fantastic and I appreciate everything!
