Graduation Day

We are proud to present Joshua Loren Triplett class of 2010; graduating Magna Cum Laude!
 It was a crazy day for all of us. I had had a dream the night before that I was a hour late for his Graduation and I was devastated. So I was worried all day about getting everything ready so that would not happen.

Will had to work but he was able to get off early so that he would be able to attend, the graduation was taking place in Daytona Beach at a convention center there. So all was going well I knew it was going to be close because I had to drive Josh out there so that he was there at 2:30 it takes 35-40 minutes to get there. (it wasn't starting until 4 but they wanted all the grads there early).

So I drive Josh out, during that time Will got off work  and it taking Autumn, Hannah, Abby and Heidi to a friends house. (they were able to come and visit us for 5 day's) we felt they would be board with the graduation so we shipped them off for a little fun.

I get home and Will, I and Ben all load up into the van and we are off with time to spare!  I'm so happy life is good...yes you guessed it things suddenly changed.

Half way there we realize that we had forgotten the parking pass and tickets to get in. So we have to turn around and go home. Needles to say I was not a happy camper any who knows me can now paint a picture as to how I was looking, behaving and feeling. I'll give you a minute.  Ok got it yup that's what I looked like.

By the time we got there wait for it yes we were a hour late!!!!! Just like in my dream. I had calmed down by the time we got there and beleive it or not it ended up being a good thing, we missed all the talkes!!! BORING and all of the regular seats were filled and so we had to suffer and sit down by the graduating class! We ended up with some of the best seats in the house. LOL

So even when bad things happen there is always a silver lining, sometimes we have to look very hard to find it but its still there just the same.

Congratulation Josh we are so proud of you!!
