The Fun Begins!

Thursday was a fun day! It started out going to pick up my rental car, and getting to stop and meet Arlene at work! It was nice to finally get to meet her - she is AWESOME!!! I have to say, my dad has great taste. Arlene and my dad just light up when they talk about the other. It is SO cute! I am so happy that they found each other! After that, I got to go shopping with my sisters. Have you ever shopped with your sisters? It is great, because you know you'll get an honest opinion, and nobody gets offended by the comments. Because if your sister can't tell you that you look fat in an outfit, who can? We found some great stuff ON CLEARANCE. I love it when the tag is marked down to a good price, then you get to the register and it's only a tenth of what you thought you would pay! We tried to find another one after that discovery, but alas, there was only one. Score for me! After buying some stuff for the wedding, we headed back to the house for lunch, then took my "little" brother to get his senior portrait taken for the wall. With E being the youngest, but my mom wanting to get the pictures hung in a good pattern, she went ahead and hung an empty frame which E then filled with a paper that said "Coming Soon". That soon is finally here! His pictures are awesome! I can hardly wait for mine! Later that evening we all went to Taco Bell Arena to watch the graduation ceremony. We didn't get very good seats, but it was okay. There were only 2 speeches! Elias was right in the middle of all the names read. My dad cried a little. His last child is graduated, and looking forward to putting in papers for his mission in July. I remember when E was born - he was such a cute baby - and now he's all grown up into a responsible young adult. What a great example he is to me and my children! After graduation we went over to Arlene's (and now my dad's) house so we could see where we'll be staying when we visit. It was also fun to get to know Terry and Ryan! Another long day, but the fun was really only getting started!
