I'm feeling a little old since my son just graduated from high school last week. It was a good day and I didn't get teary or anything but it was a pretty in the face reminder that the times they are a changing! Mickey showed up unannounced from CT so that was the best surprise of the day. I guess she'd been planning it for a couple of months but wanted to surprise us all, especially text-guy. She got Sally best though. She wasn't sure she wanted to go to her brothers graduation (it was her first 'year book signing' day in jr high) believe it or not. We had Mickey text her at school and ask her if she wanted her to come pick her up. She thought we had put Mickey up to it to get her to go and didn't believe her fully until she got to the office at the school and it was truly Mickey. Then she was glued to her!
The graduation was really nice and not too long despite over 400 grads! We had a great party at the house after and then text-guy and brit went off to Boondocks for some amusement park fun. It was a great day. I'm so proud of him. He finished with a 3.8 gpa and that's with taking several college level (concurrent enrollment) classes and getting his EMT basic. He's accomplished a lot. Here's a few shots of the grad and the party.
