it's official

with all the hype i made about her graduation, it's probably appropriate to overwhelm you with pictures from the trip. 

unfortunately, the rest of the trip was not documented quite as enthusiastically. my parents threw my sister an amazingly lovely graduation party at the commons that was kindly captured by a family friend into a  video here.  ryan, ben, and i got to play some background music together, as featured in the last 5 minutes of said video. i'm glad my mother forced us to play, because we had a lovely time doing so.
