Graduation Preview

Someday when I get a different computer, I too can live in the age of providing pictures WITHOUT standing at the Wal-Mart photo kiosk. :)

My sister emailed these to me. I'm assuming they were taken by some family member of another senior...someone sitting more in the center than I was.

This is my girl delivering her valedictorian speech. I was SO stinkin' proud of her. Can you imagine giving a speech in front of so many people and cameras and you know, the leader of the free world? (He's paying close attention...good for him!)


And here she is receiving her diploma...

That's SO cool! No matter if you agree with his policies or not, that's our PRESIDENT! That's SO awesome!

I agree with the wise Sarah. Very cool! I thought I had a good story when Wesley and I saw the President jump on his chopper at the White House. Hmmm who knows maybe Cassie will one day be standing on the other side there shaken hands AS the president?

Oh my gosh! That is fantastic! What a thrill.

That is definitely a memory to scrapbook! And as you said, he actually looked attentive during the speech. Good for you GW.

Did you see any cute secret service guys?

Sarah and Whichever Holland Wrote...you are absolutely right - regardless of how you feel about him as a president, it's pretty cool to be able to say you shook hands with him!

Skyepuppy - there are more pictures to come, but I've run out of time for tonight, so I'll hit the computer again tomorrow night to post more.

Tina - There were TONS of secret service guys there and some of them were very cute (as was a camera man from the White House). But mostly I tried NOT to make eye contact because I was scared to death of them. And I heard that someone got in trouble for taking a picture of one, so I'm glad I didn't try that! I kind of wonder how many SS people were there - I'm sure way more than we realized.

I think I saw Cassie shaking the Pres's hand on the news. :)

You probably did...she was on lotsa channels. She was most freaked out when she checked the headlines on her phone and SHE was a headline.
