Congrats Graduates!!
This was a theme of the weekend (Mom you need to work on yours :-)

I know this is long overdue, but I didn't really have time to post while out of town, and then when I got back I really needed to study for a big test I have on Wednesday. I have decided I am going to bomb the test so might as well go ahead and post....Wednesday night, after winning (YEAH! our last Alta tennis match, it was a makeup since we got rained out on Sunday) Josh, Maddux and I headed down to Valdosta. We didn't leave our neighborhood until around 9:45, but we stopped at Starbucks and drove on. We got to the Jackson's (Ryan's parents) around 2:00 am. It wasn't a bad ride, we rocked out to some classic country. Josh kept quizzing me on who the singers were, as most of you know I am horrible at that game!! I know all the words to the songs but not the artists. Thursday, Sara and I spent all day getting ready for the graduation party for her and Samuel that night. We did stop and take a short photo break with her and Samuel which was fun. We had TONS of yummy food, and the party was a success. I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while which was so nice! Josh and I stayed at Tessa & Richard's and had a blast. It was so good to visit with them even though the weekend was hectic. Friday, Sara & I took back all the furniture we had borrowed from neighbors for the party, the boys (Ryan, Samuel and Josh) went golfing, and later that afternoon we went to a flag ceremony for my friend Adam who was killed in Iraq a little over a year ago. After that a bunch of girls came over to the Jackson's with their kids to play at the pool. Tessa, Richard, Adam (Tessa's brother), Josh and I went out on Friday night. It was hilarious seeing all the quality people of Lake Park :-) Saturday we got over to the Jackson's early to get ready for graduation. Sara, Ryan, the kids and I left around 10:45 to go take some pictures before graduation at 1:00. That was an experience! We got to graduation about 1 hour early to save seats with 4 kids. Overall, the boys did really well sitting through graduation. Josh walked around outside with Sydney as soon as it started. I am so proud of Sara and Samuel and think it is really neat that the oldest and youngest finished on the same day. I am sorry we couldn't all be together, but congrats to both of you guys. Samuel, I am very impressed with your GPA!! That is awesome!! Sara, your perseverance amazes me. Love you both!! Thanks for letting me share your special day. I took 268 pics over the weekend....I won't post all but just a few of my favorites.
