Published May 28th, 2009 in Children, Family, Fun and Thursday Thirteen. 7 CommentsLast weekend we celebrated Beautiful Girl’s college graduation. It was tiring and amazing and long and wonderful. So this week I thought I’d share thirteen things about graduation. 1. Getting to the football stadium 2 hours early guarantees you both good seats and a wicked sore butt! 2. Beautiful Girl should have stood on the [...]

But a few weeks [...]
