It's a Senior moment




I've finally posting about graduation. I have been so behind on postings and am almost caught up....for now!

It's hard to believe that Amber graduated on the 28th of May. It seems like it was just this past school year that she was dressed in her little black and white checked skirt, white tights and black and white saddle shoes heading into Ms. Zuloff's kindergarten class. I thought it was interesting that she started kindergarten on the same day as she started her senior year.
It was a GREAT evening and Dave and I were so proud seeing Amber walk up there and receive her diploma. After she received it she turned toward the crowd and gave her signature thumbs up. Very funny! And this is payback for all the times I have tripped or have fallen and Amber either walks away or laughs at me while shaking her head, but she totally tripped coming down the stairs off the stage! It was HILARIOUS!! Congratulations Amber! This is just the beginning of a new and exciting adventure in your life! We are SO proud of you and your accomplishments!

Our good friends Hawg (Xavier) and Stephanie drove from L.A. to attend the graduation. Dave and Hawg meet when they were both first in the Marine Corps. We were SO glad they were able to come out and SUPER excited to see them. Plus Stephanie made some AWESOME homemade chips and salsa! Auntie Sue, Dave's sister came down from Michigan to see Amber graduate. She was only able to stay a day due to her work schedule. It was GREAT to see her, but hope next time she will be able to stay longer. Aunt Tracey, my sister came out from San Diego to see Amber and visit. We had a fun visit with her. Thanks you guys for coming out and sharing this with Amber and us!
