Scrapbook layouts from Katisha's graduation.

So a week ago today, we had Katisha's graduation party. Will have to post those pictures later. I didn't take many, busy being a hostess. I did a story board of her graduation ceremony, so as I was taking it apart, decided I should just go ahead and scrapbook those pictures. These are the 10 pages that I did.

The sad part about having 380+ members of the class, it just didn't seem so personal. Therefore, didn't shed any tears. It was so wonderful to be able to see her get that diploma. In that sea of people, I can spot her, probably because she had her head turned towards us, instead of watching the speakers, LOL.

We were all so proud of her, Misty, Grandpa and I. OK, so Don doesn't look like it, I think it is hard for Grandpa to realize his little girl is actually an 18 year old, and a high school graduate. Hard for me to believe, also, I'll admit it.
I really love the pictures of Katisha and her brother, Mhikealy. They do love each other so much. Of course they do get on each other's nerves from time to time.

And then there were the friends. Love the picture of Jessie and Mhikealy, also. Makes me laugh, I know he loved it. He is a hug machine, that boy.

Graduation

SHE DID IT!!!!! I am so proud of Katisha!! I know a lot of people don't think of it as a big deal, for someone to complete their classes and graduate from high school. To me, this is one of the biggest accomplishments in a humans life.

It means taking classes we might not want to do, but doing it any way. We have no say so in the 13 years that it takes to reach this goal.

Here she is after the ceremony, with her mom. It is funny how she didn't think it was a big deal, until it was over. Then she seemed very proud of herself.
Here she is with her mom and I. Aren't we just gorgeous. I really don't know who was the proudest.

And then there is her brother. Mhikealy didn't know if he wanted to come to the ceremony or not, but in the end, he was very glad he attended. And, his sister did show him some major love.

And then the number one man in Katisha's life, GRANDPA!!! He may not look it, but he is so thrilled with her graduating. He also sees the little girl is now an adult. Don't think he is ready.

Now, can you find her? She is facing towards the camera. I can find her, give it a try, LOL.

Now to get ready for her party on Sunday, WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!
