Just under five years ago, I celebrated my graduation from the University of Notre Dame...
And just under three years ago, we celebrated my sister Emily's graduation from Miami University of Ohio...
...but the reason I'm in a moving vehicle at 5:00 in the morning today is this little stud, who is about to celebrate HIS graduation from Miami University in just two short days!
Jonathan will be graduating from Miami's Farmer School of Business with degrees in marketing and supply chain management, and we are all SO incredibly proud of him. In his four years at Miami, Jonny joined a fraternity, worked as a tour guide, and studied abroad in Luxembourg for a semester. He's traveled extensively, made lifelong friends, and seen more than his fair share of sloppy nights at the bar. In short, he's made the Schwegs 3 for 3 in totally dominating and loving the crap out of our college experiences.
While at times he made it look like Miami life was all play and no work...
...and racked up the bar tabs to match, ha!...we all know he went above and beyond to excel, and this weekend is going to be the perfect celebration of his success. My mom, dad and I are off to Chicago for the day today before heading to Cincinnati tomorrow and up to Oxford for a weekend of pomp, circumstance, and Beat-the-Clock...god help us all.
So fun to look back at this tiny little high school senior...
...who I'm sure thought this day and weekend would never come.
Congratulations, Jonny D! We can't wait to go bottoms-up and toast to you, kiddo!
