You may remember that Christian opened the door into the public school opportunities with his kicking a couple of years ago. Since then, his sister just skipped right in behind him taking college classes for her junior and senior years. She has accumulated so many college hours she almost has her associates already.
On her second day of school she got offered a job as the tech assistant. This was a wonderful opportunity for her to not only earn some money, but also to gain some valuable technology experience and meet some great people. In fact, Laura knows almost everybody in Charleston....young and old. During the summers she worked in the cafeteria helping with the summer lunch program.
So it just made sense for her to get to graduate with the community that has been such a big part of her life these last couple of years. It was also great timing since we had lots more people who could attend the public school one vs the homeschool one.
So the homeschool graduation was first. It's always a good time. And I still get teary eyed watching her video...
Isn't it so sweet?
Then we had a little time to gear up for the second graduation. The graduation itself was fine. About 70 graduates or so. But the real excitement was OUR COLORADO PEOPLE!!
Oh how I love these folks.
We played lots of games.
Ate great food that my parents made.
Had some fun in the backyard.
Played some more games and had some great conversation.
And enjoyed Rommel's puppet show.
It ended all too soon since everybody had to fly home and go back to work.
But we sooo appreciate all the effort and time and money to come and see US.
My parents totally saved the day with all the cooking chores that weekend!
There would've been no way I couldn't pulled it off 1/2 as well with all the other things to do.
Besides, NOBODY makes brisket like my dad. And everyone loved my mom's buffalo wings.
We were so spoiled.
Thank you everyone for making Laura's graduation so special!
