EMILY GRADUATED........................................................
from High School on June 3, 2006. We were beginning to wonder if this day would actually happen. She had a real struggle getting there. The days started off kinda weird. Shane ended up having to work the day. I was so mad at the other guy that was supposed to take it that I wanted to rip his head off.
Then that morning my wonderful friend Carolyn called and offered to have the family BBQ at her house. I was so relieved that I just cried. Mom and dad got here around noon and mom helped me get the things together that I needed to prepare for the dinner. Carolyn provided everything else. Matthew was here with his girl friend Michele, she helped Emily with her hair and Matthew and Michele helped Em pick out something to wear. She looked so cute that afternoon. The graduation started at 3:00PM and was over with by 5:30PM. I was amazed! They told the speakers no more than 3 to 5 minutes each, so that kept it short and sweet.
At the BBQ we had
Emily and Kat, our 2 graduates
Brian and Becca
Braden,
Karla,
Gina and Steve,
Grandma and Grandpa R,
Shane and I,
Phillip and Britt,
Matthew and Michele,
Carolyn and Bruce,
Josh and Laura,
Monte,
Noel, Melanie, and Mackenzie
Quite a crowd. Em and all the graduates had an all night party at the SUB on the BSU campus that night. It sounds as if they all had a really good time. I am just glad to have it all over with.
