Congrats to the Grad!

Congrats to Aly who just graduated from Hillcrest on Tuesday, June 3rd. She barely made it, the night before graduation her dumb counselor, with whom she's been having major struggles with, called and said that she didn't finish her biology class from her sophomore year. Okay, so Aly and mom go into freak out mode and figure a little prayer couldn't hurt. So Aly decides that she will go look through her things. Amazingly she finds her bubble sheet completed and graded test from her biology class from 2 years ago. So she turns it into the dumb counselor and she gets the okay to walk at graduation. What a relief. She didn't want to go to the graduation ceremony but Mom made her. It was actually kind of fun. Every time Mari & I cheered the kid sitting 2 rows in front would cringe and give a really weird look. It was hilarious. So we started cheering for anyone whose name sounded familiar. Eventually he stopped freaking out, boring. But that's when the beach balls started flying, literally. There were probably 20 beach balls, not all at the same time. The teachers did their best to stop it, but eventually gave up. Except one teacher who was very angry about it and would slaughter the ball if he got it. It was hilarious. Even the crowd got into it and boo'd every time he snatched another ball. Very entertaining. Anyway, back to Aly. We just want her to know how proud of her we all are. She's such a sweet and sassy girl! My girls just adore Aly and Emma was really sad today because she knew Aly was going on her graduation trip. Thanks for being such a great sister and a wonderful aunt. I hope you know how special you are and what a blessing you are in our lives. Love you Aly!
