My Graduation Surprise

That's right I finally graduated! It took me four and a half years, but I did it. I graduated in December of '09 with a Bachelor's in Sociology. Jason graduates in April, so I am very excited to walk with him at that time.

The very last day of finals, I had an early morning essay exam. When I came back to the apartment, I was in complete shock to come home to this:

Apparently we were short on streamers, hence the toilet paper....
still cute


"Emily - You are now officially DONE!...and you shall be rewarded!
But patience and wits are required...."
And then the scavenger hunt began...

I was then led on a hunt throughout the apartment with the clues he had left behind and hidden. Shortly, I had to leave for work, but he even surprised me there by leaving a little bag of money for me so I could get myself a treat from the vending machines. When I finally got home that night, you could imagine my anxiety, there was a present sitting under the tree for me. When I opened it...this is what I found:


A Canon touchscreen camera!


I was absolutely thrilled!! It had been a long time coming for us to get a nice camera. The best part is I didn't have to do any of the research or deciding. He did that all on his own and I completely trust his judgment. He made the perfect choice and I love our new camera.

The only problem now is I'm realizing that April is coming quickly and it will be my turn to get Jason a graduation gift...I'm very excited, but haven't come up with anything yet. Any reasonable ideas? Anyone? Bueller?
