A wonderful series of events

05-23-2009, 07:38 AM

Today my wife and I will celebrate our son's graduation from college. Next Saturday we will celebrate his marriage to a wonderful girl. This is the second year in a row that we have experienced this as my daughter graduated and was married last year.

This evening after the ceremony and dinner we will light up a pair of Ashton maduros and remember all the great times we've had, and what the future holds.

That's it, no more kids in the house. It's a happy and scary thing to send your children off into the big world. But we made it and so will they
