We'll Remember Always...Graduation Day...

Tuesday was my daugher's graduation day...  (Pictures to come later...)

It was a beautiful ceremony.  The weather wasn't very warm, but the smiles and excitement illuminating from my daughter's face and from the faces of her classmates made the day exceptionally beautiful. 

The day started a little stressful..  NEVER trust MAPQUEST..  You see, I still don't know my way around this new city I live in.  I come from a small beachtown where everything is centered in the same general area.  My EX husband was flying into town just for the ceremony, and he didn't know where the graduation was going to take place.  I knew, but I didn't know the address, so naturally I went on Mapquest, and gave him the instructions.  The ceremony was going to be at the Rose Garden in San Jose...  I didn't know that there are TWO Rose Gardens in this town.  One is called Heritage, the other Municipal.  Of course on the way to the graduation, we passed the Heritage Rose Garden.  I did a double take...  Then my husband says, "See, I thought it was going to be at this rose garden, but it's at the other one..."  Oh no!!!  I thought to myself.  My son is with his father, and they WILL NEVER find the right Rose Garden!! 

Well, naturally I just stressed for nothing.  Luckily Mr. Silva was there to direct their father to the event.  Everyone that was planning on getting there got there on time, and we all got to see "my little girl" graduate from high school..  Sigh...  It was a very good day indeed...
