GRADUATION DAY!🎓

After five long years, my previous foster kid GRADUATED HIGH school. I've been in charge of his education for the last five years and there were times I did not think this would happen. 

Today I got up before the sun rise so I could drop off the dog with the dog sitter and bake my way 2 hours to wear the graduation was taking place. It was a lovely ceremony where at 9 to 12 kids graduated high school. They had a woman singing the National anthem beautifully. They actually had a guest speaker who was very inspirational. Then the kids went up and got blank pieces of paper because their diplomas are being mailed to them in the mail. But all the kids had their cap and gown on and it was exciting. 

I wore a t-shirt that said proud family of a 2024 graduate and I brought a banner that said we are proud of you congratulations. 

After the ceremony we went to a restaurant for a celebratory lunch. I insisted we sit outside which everyone agreed. Then I went back to the foster kid's apartment. I had never seen the apartment so that was nice. We hung the banner on the wall to brighten up the apartment. One of the presents that I brought was a small rice cooker. I also brought a dreamcatcher and t-shirt from my month at the parks. I think a good time was enjoyed by all. 

I stopped by an outlet store and bought one discounted pair of hiking shoes and another pair that was discounted and 50% off. So the second pair was $27. I would say a good bargain. 

Until tomorrow...
