Graduation

The last of my brothers graduated from high school last weekend. (Made me feel really old to realize that I'm only 2 years away from my 10 year High School Reunion!) And Kevin had to show all of us up by being the senior class president and the only Senior they asked to speak at graduation services! He gave a great funny speech that drew lots of laughs and ended with kids sending beach balls around the graduating class. I think he was pretty relieved when that speech was over!

It was a good weekend - my brother Tysen also came up. But Kory and Trent are both on missions so they obviously couldn't make it!

We went to dinner for graduation on Friday and then the graduation itself where I was able to see some of my old friends from high school that had siblings graduating also. Saturday we spent the majority of the day watching the World Cup. And then Sunday we celebrated Father's Day before having to come back to Arizona.

The weather was in the high 60's which was a little cold after the 110+ weather of Phoenix but a nice break from the heat also!

Hey! I've never left a comment. It was so nice to see you at graduation!! Too bad it was only for a minute. And you finally got to "kinda" meet Mariana. I was so proud of her for being so great throughout that whole thing. Hopefully next time you're up here we can get together for longer. And it is CRAZY to realize we have our 10 year in just 2 more years. I feel ancient!!
