The Class of 2012

On Saturday, we celebrated this handsome guy’s high school graduation!!!

After a lovely ceremony and a car ride to pep boys and back because my car got sick, we headed back to Mark’s to celebrate with meatball sandwiches, primos, and my personal favorite – chocolate covered strawberries! It was nice to spend time with the two sets of grandparents that live out of state. Telling old stories always results in some unexpected details and bouts of laughter. I am so happy for C – he worked really hard through high school and really enjoyed his time there with his friends. Congrats!!!

Moments Worth Remembering

1. Spending a lot of money to fix your car and then you realize it’s still sick.

2. Realizing your boyfriend fell asleep on the couch next to you.

3. Watching your surrogate brother give his momma a hug and seeing her eyes fill with tears.

4. Laughing hysterically as your boyfriend swim-chases a frog around your pool.

5. Rain starting to fall the very second everyone is finally settled at the table outside for a cookout.

6. Walking back through my old room in a house that soon won’t be ours and crying like a baby.

7. Getting caught red handed at the chocolate fountain.

8. Taking time to remember the family we have lost.

9. Dad getting his umbrella out so he can see the double rainbow better than the rest of us crowding at the edge of the garage.

10. Reminiscing about all the fun we had growing up in the old house with my sister.
