This afternoon my youngest brother graduated from high school, which hardley seems possible! Michael did such a good job in high school though and I think is ready to move on to bigger and better things...in Michigan! I am so sad that he'll be so far away, but we will get to see him some because of the way the school is set up. It's a co-op school, where the students work 3 months and then go to school for 3 months, and his company that he will working for in actually in Houston, so he'll be back for 3 months, every 3 months! And he starts his engineering job on Monday...congrats Michael, on a job well done!

Woohoo! We finally got him to look at us!
It's official!
About 2/3 through, a girl in the row in front of Michael finished blowing up the beach ball she had snuck into the auditorium and tossed it behind her. And when it came to my brother, he definitely kept it in the air, despite the demands of the teachers to hand it over, right now! :)
This man, when he finally managed to gain posession of the beach ball, was not a happy camper. And he was even less happy when three others materialized as the ceremony went on.

After the graduation, we went to dinner at the Olive Garden to celebrate. Then, we went back to our house for coffee and dessert because Matthew was so sweet and had thought to buy some pastries from a little bakery by our house yesterday (which is also consequently right by his job) for us to have after dinner. They were delicious and it was so nice just to relax and talk and laugh and enjoy one another's company.
Congrats, Michael! We are so proud of you and so happy for you to be beginning this next stage in life! I know you will be such a light up in Michigan. Keep following where God is leading you.
