Babies to grads....

Jodie's sister was pregnant when we began dating...so was my sister.

Eighteen years later we are attending 2 high school graduations, last week in Tualatin, yesterday in Washougal.

The simularities of the ceremonies were interesting. Both held on football fields, Jodie and I on the track with our scooters with the rest of the family in the stands, the band, the validictorians, the speeches, the diplomas, the switching sides of the tassle, the tossing of the morterboards, and pictures of the grads on the football field.

The mob scene afterwards as we tried to leave was the same too....but Aunt Jodie and Uncle Troy made it through.

Two babes survived 18 years. The were just seniors...but now they are babies again.

Excitement and uncertainty lie ahead. Embrace the future, talk to geezers like me to find out what mistakes I learned from, it's great to succeed, it's okay to fail, take care of today, see past tomorrow when you need to find hope.

Brit & Tyf, God is smiling upon you today. Uncle Troy & Aunt Jodie are praying for you.

Go out and shake things up!
