I’m not really sure if the speech pathology world is quite ready yet but Allison Budzier is coming anyway!!! Congratulations on graduation, Al. I’m stinkin’ proud of you. You stayed up too many late nights working on your notecards, telling me about case studies including thoracic nerves, and informing me of every type of speech impediment that we encounter from people all over the place. Here is a video I’ve made to commemorate your excellent achievement:
I’m seriously impressed with all the hard work you have done Al… On a side note to schools or hospitals in Seattle or (hopefully) Vancouver Washington who need to hire an awesome Speech Pathologist with a minor in Audiology (B.S.) you should defiitely send me an email and I’ll get you in touch with her! I need her to get a job so she can be my sugar mamma!
Here’s the chocolate fudge cake we ate.
This is a common sight: Allison making fun of me for having an iPhone, Twittering, Facebooking, Blogging, and being a simple nerd while SHE takes my iPhone and plays all of my games… and then she has the nerve to beat all of my high scores that I worked so hard on. Oh well… at least I have new records to beat.
“Allison! Close your mouth!” – Nancy Budzier (Mom) said this about 5 times while Al was getting pictures taken. Funny.
Allison and Lindsay Budzier. Best friends.
The whole time, Allison was concerned about her hair and how she would fit it under the graduation cap.
Her sister giving some last words before leaving to get her diploma.

“Lindsay, fix my hair… again”
Hey look, it’s my old roommate, Ben Backstrom
And now Ben and his beautiful girlfriend, Liz Beaulieu
They still pronounced it “Boodz-ear”
Here is Liz again with Sherri Rydholm. Some have confused Sherri for Allison in the past when Allison had longer hair
“Look Lindsay, I think I could totally start a whistle album” I think Allison has brought this up to me 4 times this last year. She REALLY wants that whistle album!
The ceremony
There she is!
There she goes!
She rushed to hug her dad once she saw him!
Nancy, Allison, and Alan Budzier
They are a very normal interesting family. Fun family!
Now they are both doing the open mouth thing!
And then there was Jake Summers and his parents!
Kim Popek and Heidi Holtzclaw join in for some hug action.
Heidi has a gift for always knowing when there is a camera on her.
Tassels out! Congratulations on Magna Cum Laude Heidi!
Roomies.
Toss the hats!
I’m going to be the best man in Mitch and Heidi’s wedding. I have the coolest speech prepared! So excited!
The women finally caught up to Mitch and I. Bout time ladies…
Hmm… This reminds me of another picture…
And then there was Sarah Epperson and her Mom.
Roommates from another time…
I have to say she looks good considering her age… Allison’s 89 year old grandmother looks pretty good too.
