Graduation Ceremonies

This Saturday morning, the MHEA graduation ceremony was held. It was a really nice ceremony, just long in some parts. We knew about 4 or 5 people that were graduating. There was about 100 graduates altogether. The valedictorian and and something else of the sort gave some speeches. They were very nice speeches and well given. Also, a church choir sang some hyms. Afterward, we took pictures of them and stuff. We also looked at the boards that the graduates had put together for everyone to look at. It was kind of interesting seeing what everybody looked like as a child and through their highschool years. Fascinating.... After that whole ordeal, we went to a graduates house for a party. They had bbq catered in. We had a jolly old time talking and remembering stories. I also looked through the yearbook. We don't get a yearbook, or have our pictures taken for it, but I get in there somewhere throughout. It was kind of sad, since we really only met this girl about 6 months ago. :sob, sob: Ok, pull! Myself! Together! :slaps myself twice: I do have some pictures that I took, but I am currently too lazy/slash tired too upload them on the computer. My brother spent the whole day at my grandma's, which happens to be her birthday today. They went and saw, "Nim's Island." I was disappointed I couldn't see it, but was well worth the trade. They said it was a great movie to see, and for all ages, too! Until next post! (and mothers day!) sourpatch

Daily Life

So.... this morning, we had another IBLP class by Bill Gothard. I have really enjoyed taking the class, and have learned much from it. We have another 3 hours left that we plan to do the following Friday. ~ After that, we had some lunch (left over pizza from last night), and drove over to sewing an photography group. For sewing, we all made little pouches. Here is the tutorial: Twelve22.org. They were really, really fun to put together, and a great way to start the sewing group on zippers. The pouch is lined on the inside with brown swirl fabric. Here are some pictures:

(Sorry this picture is so blurry, I couldn't get my camera to focus.)

Although, much to my intense disapointment, photography was canceled because of the rain. We were going to go to a cemetary and take some pictures there. The storming was kind of scary; there was, "purple lightning" on the radar. That means solid sheets of lightning.

Although we did top the day off by going to Jim N' Nicks BBQ for dinner. Rachel and I split a bacon cheeseburger. Plain, of course. It was scruptious!! Zach had a good time with ribs. I bet you can just imagine the nasty fingers....

Right now, we're making a scrapbook page for the party of a graduating senior. She's moving to Ohio for college, so I don't think we're going to be seeing her anytime soon. Signin' off ~ sourpatch
