So it's been a very long weekend. Open house, graduation. My little girl is all grown up now.  Wanted to share my sadness/happiness with you ladies. Walking in  Receiving Diploma  There's nothing in there!!   Myself and my 3 bundles of joy.  ETA: The entire class handed the man handing them the diplomas beer caps! The first one he got, he just grinned and sat it down, he wasn't so happy after all 44 walked through. |
Thanks Patty She is going on to college for a degree in elementary education. She wants to teach kindergarten. She did a "shadow" job all year with the kindergaten class and loved it. She knows for sure that is what she is meant to do. The class bought her a briefcase of sorts and made her cards for her last day. She cried her eyes out on that day. She's really going to miss them. Walrus, She lives in small town USA with her Dad just for the very reason she got a better education with a smaller school. The school is debt free so the "cuts" that the state has been making for the past several years hasn't hit them real hard yet. The kids come first, as it should be everywhere. |
did you ever get more from the prom?
Wooohooooo.....Congratulations. Looks like you are going to have a lot of practice attending graduations.  Hehehe....empty diploma holder. In H.S. they mailed ours a month after. In College, it came with an order form to order the diploma for like $50+ depending wether or not you wanted the oversized one, also framed and not framed.  44 Graduating class, my my....we had 44 in my History class alone. I graduated in a class of 500+ There were about 750 in our freshman class. Some dropped out. Some went to jail. Yes I said jail. Some did not graduate with the class and got held back. In my college class we graduated 150+ Must be nice to be in a small class. Especially come time for reunions. You'll know everyone. |

I remember our first daughter graduating...it was sad but happy. The class size is the same as around here. Some have only 20 students. Very rural and getting smaller! And it sure didn't take her long to move out. Boy the nightmares of the first summer she left!! She met someone who was BAD news.....They took off to Misouri without telling ANYONE! I was worried sick!  I finally did find out where they went after a few days. But that was 12 years ago. She finally dumped him, found a great guy and has now been married for 7 years with 3 kids! Just goes to show no matter how bad they are at a certain time in their life, they can turn around and be great!
