My sister Kelee graduated from Salem Hills yesterday. Now that is crazy to me! In my head I still picture her as this young, goofy 14 year old...now she is just a goofy 18 year old high school graduate! I picked Kelee up early that morning and took her shopping for her graduation present. She found a way cute pair of sandals to wear with her dress. We went to breakfast at Village Inn, then went back to her house to get ready. I curled her hair and did her make-up. She is the kind of girl who looks beautiful without any make-up on, so she normally doesn't wear much, but on the few occasions she does you can really tell! She looked so pretty and so grown up!
The ceremony was okay. It was hot (which I shouldn't be complaining about because it's better than rain!), and the speaker system was so quiet that we couldn't really hear any of the speakers. They had sky divers again, but I wasn't as impressed as last year's-- maybe because I had already seen it or maybe they just weren't as good this year.
Kelee was such a goof. I made my way down through the crowd to stand right in front of where she would be stopping to get her picture taken before walking to receive her diploma, and as soon as they called her name she just started speed walking across the lawn. She didn't stop and strike a pose for the camera! Luckily i was able to catch her on her way back to her seat though!
I was thinking to myself that morning that I wouldn't really see anyone I knew because Kelee is so much younger than me and I went to Payson not Salem. I was wrong! I saw so many people I went to school with, and I sat next to the families of friends from high school, so it was good to visit and catch up with them!

On her way back to her seat...laughing at me following her around like a crazy lady trying to get a picture!
