WE DID IT!

 CONGRATS to Charlotte and Marina who both simultaneously graduated on Friday night! What a surreal, whirlwind guys! Wow. And Mom and Dad made it to BOTH ceremonies! Yayyyy

Charlotte had her prom late Thursday night, all the dressing up and hooplah, then got home at 5 AM Friday (graduation day) morning, showered, went to rehearsal and was giving her Valedictorian speech to 860 people in the crowd! Holy Crap. What a proud parent moment and she gave her parents quite the tribute and shoutout. Not a dry eye in the place. I can't tell you how many people approached me afterwards and gushed over her speech. So darn proud.

Then yesterday it was THREE graduation parties and TWO more today. When I say wiped. It's an understatement. And don't forget I have 2 weeks to plan a DOUBLE grad party here. OMG.

And I failed to mention that in the midst of all this insanity, I was SO sick. Like the worst I've been in over a year. Guess my body completely shut down. I'm still recovering!

So I have a few pics to share. It hit me last night as I was waiting for Charlotte to get home, she's not in HS anymore and I got all in my feelings. Haven't had much time to really absorb it until this weekend. Yikes. All good good stuff. But life changing for not just her. As a matter of fact, her speech resonated with a lot of people because it was all about CHANGE.

(the web srs also made it down to see our girl graduate)

So Cheers to Charlotte! Well done and BRAVO kid. Something tells me that's not the last time I will be watching her speak in front of a crowd! Let's go UNC!!!! Thank goodness vacation starts tomorrow.
