today i went to my little sisters graduation. it's so crazy to think that it's already been two years since i graduated high school. all day i've been reflecting on that day and realized i never journaled about it or anything. and i will probably continue forgetting details at a rapid rate. so i'm going to write about it now. :)
mitchell, alyssa, and i left way late that morning and barely made it on time. i will always remember that. traffic was horrendous, we had to run through the parking lot, and boy i hated that cap. it kept falling off as we ran. i have too much hair to have that hat fit right.
i remember standing in the girl tunnel with my beautiful friends, and i already was getting emotional. we stood in a circle and said a quiet prayer that we could have a happy graduation and realize that it wasn't the end of the world, leaving each other and bingham. i cried a lot that day (i feel silly in retrospect. but at the same time it warms my heart because it means i care so much for those people in my life. that part i like.). the madrigals sang for good from wicked and i lost it. good thing the maher family provided some comic relief up in the corner with the huge manikin they brought. they flung that thing around like crazy. mostly i just remember being incredibly grateful for the wonderful people in my life.
oh yeah, and then my family drove home without me. they thought i was going home with someone else. so they had to drive back after they went to subway. good thing i had mitch's grandma to keep me company.
it was fun to see my little sister experience that today. she's so talented and beautiful and lovely and the world has a lot of big plans for her. and now she gets to come to come be a cougar with me and realize that college officially is the best thing ever. cause you can go shopping at two in the morning if you want to. and you spend way too much money on cupcakes.
