A momentous day for our family – we had the honor of watching my beautiful wife, Felicity J. White, graduate from the University of Illinois at Springfield (UIS) today with a Bachelor of Arts in English.
We started the day off with a late (if you ask the kids) brunch, headed to the commencement ceremonies, and then celebrated at the local Pizza Machine restaurant where they brought us a 40″ pizza via crane. Then before heading home we gave the graduate a surprise gift which you can watch happen at the bottom of this post. But first, here are a few pictures so you can see what our day looked like…
and last but not least…. here’s the video I promised you regarding the graduation gift we are giving to Felicity. To surprise her we had our kids walk in with “blank” papers. Then they flipped over the papers to reveal the gift – i P A D. We want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our friends and family who donated money towards this gift!! You completely surprised her and thanks for joining in on the fun.
