Phew, We Did It!

Well, it's DONE... got my two seniors graduated from high school and we threw not one but two big parties this week. We had a dinner party after graduation on Thursday and another barbecue on Saturday for the friends and family who couldn't make the middle-of-the-week celebration. It was a really nice ceremony and thankfully held indoors (air-conditioned!) at the Memorial Auditorium. My son David was in all three of the musical performances... two on his trumpet and one on the upright bass. Here are a couple of photos taken right after the commencement. The tall grad in the middle is my stepson, Justin, and the other grad is my son, David.



I got tagged twice this week, once by Luisa and once by Candee, and I'm just now getting a chance to play along. Here we go!


RULES

1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog

2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4. Let them know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

My 7 Facts:

1. I met my husband online. In August we'll celebrate our 8 year anniversary.

2. I have more "guy" than "girly" tendancies (i.e., I don't like to shop, I'm very analytical, and I'd much rather buy more electronic toys than jewelry...).

3. I have played the piano since I was about 9 years old.

4. I don't like heights.

5. My first love was Donny Osmond.

6. I enjoy solitude (maybe because my household is usually so busy...) and am perfectly comfortable being alone.

7. Before I became a SAHM, I worked for Hewlett-Packard and managed 18 people in 5 western states.


Now I'm going to tag my entire creative team, plus one more to make seven:
Debbie, Livia, Nani, Brenda, Kay, Oase, and Sherrie (RCMama).

I quickly wanted to remind you that I have the My Guy collection on sale, 30% off through Father's Day. This is a great kit for all your layouts honoring dads, husbands, and grandpas!
