Our First Graduate!

Yikes!!  Does that mean we're getting old?!?  

Reid graduated on June 14th, the first of many graduates to come in our family!  There were about 430 graduates in his class, with him being ranked as #24, with a 3.87 GPA.

This little piece of paper allowed us to get in. . .

. . .After we waited in this long line - that was really about 4-5 times as long as you can see!  I thought we were going to get there early so we'd get a good seat, so we got there one hour early.  As you can see, I've learned something for next year . . . I will probably be there two hours early!!  We actually got a decent seat, just on the opposite side of the gym from where Reid was.

None of these pictures turned out good, but they're what I got:)

Now Reid is taking on his adult life, framing with/for his Uncle Paul, working harder than he ever has in his life:)

On June 16th, we had a graduation party for him, along with his cousins, Douglas and Melodie, at Karl & Darla's.

My cousin, Ethel,  came to the party (early) and saved the day for us:)  She helped tons with preparation and cleanup . . . and keeping everything going during it.  Thanks a million, Ethel!!
