Graduation Party

We did have another house showing this morning. I hope it went good--- I have not heard about it feedback wise.

I went to a graduation party this evening. My friend Kyle was kind enough to invite me to his celebration. He was celebrating becoming a Doctor of Pharmacology. Amazing! He did good. Kyle is someone I grew up with. I remember the first day I met Kyle, we were in the seventh grade, I played the drums as did he. He thought I was weird, probably because I never actually learned to play the drums. I have mentioned before, I do not have the attention span needed for these sorts of things. I would bang on my snare drum and pretend like I knew what I was doing, but it was all an act; I think Kyle was on to my pretending to play the drums act. I lasted a week playing in the band at Williston Junior High School, and then I abandoned the drum. Soon after my drum days were behind me, I became good friends with Kyle. It was a privilege and an honor to be able to congratulate him in person on this special day.

At the graduation party I saw people I have not seen in many years. I told one particular person I was moving back to Williston--her response was " Say it isn't so!". I get this reaction often when I inform past williston people of my impending move. I think Williston is an okay town in some aspects, but I get why people don't want to live there. For some people the reason is, they remember the bad times and have forgotten the good. I also went through my share of dark moments in Williston. I do believe that I can make Williston a great home for my family. I think having other people at my children's sporting events, birthday parties, and school functions will be nice. Jesse has to miss out on many of these types of events when he gone working. My kids have become used to seeing the other kids in the area with their huge lot of family members. I am excited to be able to share my children's lives with the many waiting back home. If I could get my family to move to Apple Valley, that would be perfect. However, I tried and it was not going to happen.

Tonight, I am anticipating Saturday Night Live. Betty White is the host--which is going to make for some great laughs.
