To some this may seem strange, others may relate. This past weekend I went to California for a goddaughter’s graduation. It was the first trip I’ve taken in as long as I can remember that I didn’t bring my laptop with me. I had planned on at least checking my e-mail while I was gone (logging in to my office computer) but technology was against me and I couldn’t do that. You know what, it was NICE! The e-mail wasn’t too horrible when I got back, thank goodness.

The graduation was so nice. My goddaughter graduated a year early (three years of high school instead of four) with her brother and her boyfriend of three years. Their graduating class was 14. (Yes, you read that right.) The ceremony was really nice. Each graduate did a portion of the service and when it came time to give out diplomas the principal took time so each parent could get the pictures they wanted. There’s something to say about small graduations.

Since I was in town I got to celebrate my aunts birthday with her, a couple days early but we got to celebrate. That was a lot of fun!

I also celebrated Father’s Day with my dad a week early. We just pretended everyone else got the date wrong. LOL It was a fun day. We went to church, brunch, and then the movies. Then my dad and I went to dinner by ourselves (no one else was hungry — and I really wanted yummy tacos LOL).

My family stars arriving in 19 days for our family reunion here. It’s going to be so much fun!!!

Oh, and guess what I’m doing today! I have an appointment in three hours to sign the papers on my new apartment!!! Pretty cool. I guess I’m starting to move tomorrow. Crazy if you ask me but my brother (aka mover) wants to go camping this weekend so I have to do it tomorrow and Thursday or I’ll be doing it myself.

Till later…
