Matt's Graduation

Matt graduated this week.  We are so proud of him!  Now half of our kids are out of high school.  Brian pointed out to me that in 2 years we will have no more children in junior high.  That blew me away.  It was very hard to have no more kids in elementary school.  When I go to substitute at the local school, none of my kids are there to say “hi.”  It’s kind of lonely in a way.  And soon they won't be at the junior high either.  Makes me feel old.
Anyway, back to Matt.  He graduated with honors and looked very auspicious in his cap, gown and honors cord.  My sister and her two little girls went to see Matt’s graduation which was very kind of her.   I know it’s not easy to go anywhere with little kids.
We took Matthew out to eat at his choice of restaurants.  He could have chosen to eat at any expensive place he wanted but chose instead a little Mexican restaurant that is one of our favorites and it was delicious.  That night he went to an all night party at the school and seems to have had lots of fun although he was exhausted when he got home, of course.  He also graduated from LDS seminary.  Yay!  And since he is no longer in seminary now, he will be attending summer institute instead.  Because he was on the seminary council, he also gets to be on institute council through August.  That’s pretty cool.  He also works a lot at the water park next week which will keep him busy.  Way to go, Matt.  We are very proud of you.
