a graduation, a birthday, and the continuation of life as we know it

Today was a big day. 

My youngest sister Casey graduated from high school! 

Her graduation was nice, but it was hot. 

A warm auditorium filled with a few thousand people makes for a sticky experience. 

I'm glad I won't have one of those to go to again for a few years.

Casey looked beautiful and we were all proud of her.  

Congrats girl, I love you.

Having fun after the ceremony. 

Today my Dad celebrated his 54th birthday too! 

54 years of life..By golly that's something wonderful!

I love my Dad lots, so celebrating the day of his birth was nice. 

My mom surprised him with a trip to St. Augustine for next weekend.

They'll have a great time and I'm jealous! 

My parents are kid-free now....let the traveling begin!! :) 

We celebrated these two momentous occasions with a lunch/dinner at Mellow Mushroom. It was yums!

These are my parents, being goofy.

Beautiful couple right there!

Oh and I cannot forget that today (at precisely 6 p.m.) was supposed to be the "day of rapture"...

It most certainly wasn't. That man was wrong, again.

Once again, congratulations CASEY and happy birthday DADDY! 

I LOVE YOU BOTH!
