Soren and Sarah Overby's Graduation from Corban College Saturday, May 5th.
Soren and Sarah Overby graduated from Corban College both with their degrees in Education. They are the first two Overbys to graduate from Corban. For those of you who know the Overbys you might be saying, wait a minute, didn't Sjana (pronounced Shawna) go to Corban. The answer to that is, sorta kinda. She went to and Graduated from Western Baptist, which is now Corban College. So, the same school, but new names. Plus, when she graduated from "Western Baptist" she was no longer an Overby but a MacSwan. So both the college and Sjana have had a name change to make the statement technically true that Soren and Sarah were the first Overbys to graduate from Corban College. And technically Sarah walked first so she graduated before Soren did. Side note: Soren and Sarah will not be the last Overbys there, Seth is planning on attending Corban this fall.
After the graduation the whole Overby and Roach clan (Sarah's maiden name was Roach) went to the "Best Little Roadhouse" in Salem. And let us tell you, it is a very good little Roadhouse. We enjoyed Onion Straws (like onion rings but smaller) and yummy honey bread, and by the time our meal came we could only eat a little of it. Don't worry, we enjoyed it for lunch the next day. With a group of 20 (yes there were that many of us) we got to eat outside on the heated patio and enjoy a fun time of fellowship with our family.
After the food, Soren, Sarah and the two of us went over to Northern Lights Theater to catch a movie. Unfortunately nothing good was showing (it's $3 a movie at Northern Lights) so we went to Blockbuster to rent a movie and watched it at Soren and Sarah's place. We rented "Man of the Year" with Robin Williams and we loved the plot and some of the jokes. By some we mean about 15%. Otherwise it was just raunchy humor. Scott and Soren got to play some Halo on Soren's Xbox, which Scott really enjoyed.
The day was fun and filled, and we send our congratulations out to Soren and Sarah again and to all those of you graduating from High School or College this year. To those who are close, keep hanging in there, you can do it!!!
Here are some more pictures from the graduation.
