Graduation Day!

Today was a wonderful day for both of our families! Tonight, at 6:15, Michael's brother, Justin, and my sister-in-law, Sarah, graduated! Even though the field didn't have grass, so technically they couldn't 'walk the green,' the sun was out and it was a wonderful occasion. I believe Justin's mom even shed a tear or two for her 'baby!' Congratulations to both of them as they begin a new part in their lives.

Meanwhile, Mike and I only have 5 student days left! (Not that anyone is counting, of course.) I love my students to death, but there is a point in the year where it is time to move on! After the state test, it is always hard to reign the kids in and convince them there is still more that needs to be learned. Since the state test was so early this year, it has become increasingly difficult as the weeks have gone on. Both the teachers and students need a break! I am taking some Master's courses this summer, while waitressing and teaching summer school, so I guess I am not technically taking a break, but it does break the routine. Mike will be training for his coming deployment. He will leave two days after school lets out for three weeks. Those are always interesting times! At least I have my kids (Rocky, a boxer, Titan, a little rat as my Pop calls him, and Remy, our SPCA adoption!) Life is never dull around here!

Tomorrow begins the start of Memorial Day weekend! Mike and I will be relaxing and enjoying our time off (since I actually don't work at the restaurant until Monday!) We hope everyone else has a wonderful weekend!
