Thursday afternoon we hopped on a jet plane and had an uneventful flight to Portland, with a short layover in Baltimore. There was one great event during that layover though....I finally got to meet my friend Jennifer in person. She was also in my program, but since everything was online, you don't get to really meet your classmates. She and I connected through Facebook and have been talking for the past year and a half (and praying for each other--geez! the praying that got us through!) and so I was over the moon to finally meet her in person, and get to celebrate graduation together!
Official events didn't start until Friday evening on campus, so we spent our time sightseeing and relaxing. We spent Friday at Bug Light, swung by a family cottage and then went swimming before heading off to campus.
On campus (which is GORGEOUS) we participated in the baccalaureate mass. I was able to be an EM, and that was an amazing experience.
Saturday morning started out super rainy and depressing, but we were back on campus for the ceremony. About halfway through, the sun came out and by the end of the ceremony we had amazing weather.
IT'S GO TIME!!!

BRING ON THE PhD PROGRAMS!!!
Saturday afternoon we went to Portland Head Light and walked around. It was absolutely breathtaking some of the views it had. Trevor liked climbing around the old buildings that were still there!
Sunday we went to church with Jennifer and her family at the Cathedral, and then went to Freeport until we had to head to the airport for our trip home.
