I’ve heard that time goes faster as you get older…and I think that just might be true. It seems like just yesterday it was July of 2007 and I was getting ready to begin my freshman year of college. Now its July of 2009, I am a junior, and my baby sister just graduated from high school!!! Now I’m not sure what’s happening, but whatever it is, I need to find a way to make it stop!
But seriously, a graduation is a bitter/sweet moment. It ends one chapter of your life, but opens another. And when you’re standing there with your whole future ahead everything looks beautiful – and let me tell you, my sis stepped out with a bang!
From her long hair (which took me an hour to straighten) to her bright yellow dress, to her white sling back, peep-toed heals, she looked gorgeous! I’ve never seen my little sister look so beautiful…she looked like Anne Hathaway – only better :)
The ceremony was wonderful. Rachael read a poem she had written, which is going to a national competition. There were several great speeches, and lots of sentimentality.
Here are some pictures of the ceremony…party pics to come!

I'm certainly no expert on the time-space continuum (though I do enjoy a lot of science fiction.) But I think that famous scientist with the funny hair said it best (and of course, I'm paraphrasing 'cuz I can't be bothered looking up actual quotes while I'm high on velcro glue - I'm making superhero wristbands . . . don't ask) - everything is relative.
