My little sister Abi graduated highschool last Monday! Two years ago it was my brother, and now its her. Seriously crazy to watch your younger siblings grow up. I think in my brain they are forever cemented into the "just kids" category, but days like today remind me that I am not the only one racing along towards achieving senior citizen discounts. I am so proud of you Abigail!
We were all homeschooled from way back in kindergarten, but once 7th grade rolled around, we started attending Cedar Brook Academy on Thursdays. A couple hundred other kids, drama class, biology, madrigals, composition and Shakespeare awaited us once a week, while homework and friendships followed us through the other 6 days. It has been crazy to watch people you were in study hall with grow up and get married, and then to go to graduation and watch their siblings grow up too.

| She did it! And that smile says it all. |
I am not in contact with many of my highschool friends anymore, but thanks to facebook, these are two of the lovlies that I am! Kait on the right comes over a few times a month to have dinner and watch movies, and her sister Jenn and I have stalked eachother online since our graduation in 06.

| Obviously, we have matured so much since those highschool days. |

| The two most adorable amazing individuals I know. |

It was a lovely evening, and a blast to the past while still weirding me out because it felt like a blast to the future. Congratulations Abi and the CBA Class of 2011!
These are great! I laughed at the comments pertaining to our facebook-stalking relationship and "photo-shoot". Awesome. I'm glad we've retained our friendship post graduation:)
