Just got back from Son's Graduation Party and I got a present too!
Edited on Sun Jun-03-07 06:52 PM by Breeze54
Diamond Earrings! :woohoo: :woohoo: How cool is that?? :)
My sister gave me a pair of diamond earrings as a "Great Job, Mom!" present! :rofl:



And she gave my son a check for $250.00 for tools!! :woohoo:

My Brother and Sister-in-law gave him a really nice watch but I'm not sure
what kind as he took off before I could even see it! :rofl:
It has 3 mini time pieces within the watch face.

We all went out to Long Horn Steak House for lunch after the graduation
and the waiters and waitresses brought a huge cake, while clapping and
singing; "For he's a jolly good fellow"! He turned three shades of red!! :rofl:

My son's best friend and his girlfriend and my niece were there also!!

Local banks, businesses, groups and dot.orgs gave out $415,000 in scholarships!!
OMG!!!!!

My son is beaming from ear to ear!! He had such a great day!!!!

We all had a great time!! :)

Sorry for being goofy but I'm just so happy!
What a relief!! You have no idea!! ;)

I think I'm still on a freedom & a sugar high! :rofl:

2. Thank You mzteris! I started crying when I saw my son

in his cap and gown, walking in procession. How weird is that?
It felt like when he first went to kindergarten.
My sister just hugged me and was so kind to me.
How sweet and she is not an affectionate person outwardly.

I'm so glad the day went great for my son! He deserved a great day!
He thought he wasn't going to have any party, so, that was my joy!!
His surprised and happy face! :) And he got TWO degree's!!
One was his High School Diploma and also a Certificate of Completion in Electrical!
He's on his way!! :woohoo: I'm still ecstatic; can you tell?? :rofl:

It's been a looong 14 years! Thanks! :hug:

4. Congratulations to you and yours!!!
:hug:

It's just so thrilling and sentimental, isn't it?
At least it was to me. The end of an era and new beginnings...

:toast: .. :party: .. :loveya: bunches... all of you!!! :hug:

:woohoo:

My SIL asked my son what he was going to do tomorrow.
and he said, "NOT go to SCHOOL!!" :rofl:

I remember that feeling! LMAO!

PS.
He just got a raise at his 4 yr. part-time job and hired full-time with benefits!
:woohoo:
