| November 15th, 2010: After a quick Monday run to the market, Cia and I happily stumbled upon a giant mound of coconuts. This was our first coconut sighting in Comayagua. Kadian had been craving coconut since day one, and today seemed like the perfect day to surprise her since it was her graduation. Turns out the coconut worked as the perfect decoy for the real party we had been planning... |
 |
| After supper I told Kadian she had ten minutes to put on something cute and be ready for her party. Once she was safely in her room, we went crazy cleaning, decorating, and getting everything else together. Right before we let her come out, we shoved a red "robe" through the door and told her to put it on. I don't think I need to describe her reaction--her face tells the story best. |
 |
| Overcome with emotion, she needed some coaxing out of her room. Emily came to give her a hug and pull her out the door. |
 |
| We proudly watched her march down our fancy (tablecloth) red carpet. |
 |
| Then of course we insisted she give a speech. She obliged :) |
 |
| Her closest "family" and friends listened intently as she spoke. |
 |
| Woo hoo! |
 |
| Such poise, such elegance |
 |
| ...and party time! |
 |
| The robe came off and it was time to celebrate. |
 |
| Graduation handshake |
 |
| --Please! We're too close for handshakes. |
 |
| Ashley & Kadian |
 |
| Alright! |
 |
| Kadian and Melissa |
 |
| Kadian and Cia |
 |
| Hug time! |
 |
| "But Kadian! You have to be in the PICTURE!!!" |
 |
| Kadian composed herself (yes! She got teary). |
 |
| The other "twins" :) |
 |
| Hooray & hurray for awesome friends! |
 |
| We are all so proud of Kadian! |
 |
| Graduating with a BA in Forensic Science |
 |
| Let's just say, Kadian and I went grocery shopping together the day before. Tee hee. Didn't have time for a vegan cake. |
 |
| And the night just kept getting better... |
 |
| The honey roasted peanuts she had been craving for weeks :) lol |
 |
| Kadian swearing that she was never going shopping with any of us again. |
 |
| The glowing graduate :) |
 |
| Money "dance" hahaha |
 |
| Then we each made a toast to Kadian and got her to cry some more. |
 |
| Emily giving many heartfelt words. |
