Missy is a high school graduate! It still blows my mind a bit that our kids got old enough to graduate from high school. Sigh...time passes. I can remember when it blew my mind that we had kids at all. Anyway, the practice the day before went off without a hitch except it being super hot. Judy and Neill came for the graduation and the graduation party, which was nice. The actual ceremony was Friday, and we had about the same seats as we did last year for Alex's graduation. Unfortunately we were just a bit behind Missy so I couldn't get many good shots of her face during the graduation. But anyway it was nice, the weather was as good as it gets for something like that, clear & sunny & not too hot, and not too many super long speeches. She found a few of her friends after the graduation was over but I think she mostly wanted to get out of there. We went out for ice cream afterwards. 

The party was Saturday. Again we had Jack's big 10' x 20' tent and a bunch of tables and chairs borrowed from church, and this time we had Chicago dogs. Missy chose Chicago dogs and fruit for the refreshments to go with the cupcakes and the Ball State decorated small cake. So I grilled and Beth chopped the condiments (or found them - specifically sport peppers which we found to be hard to find). We had a really good turnout and Missy got a good haul of presents. Then she took off to hit all of her friends' graduation parties that were on the same day :)

Speaking of Missy we also got her a new mattress this week. We've been intending to do that for some time because her old one (that she's slept on since she moved out of the toddler bed) is pretty worn out. We found a good one at Mattress Firm where Beth and I got ours. 

Softball turned in a rare feat this week: we got shut out. 14-0. We absolutely could not get anything going, and got mercied after the fourth inning. Third and a half actually, they didn't bat in their fourth inning. We only went through our batting lineup one time. And nothing went right in the field either, while they made no mistakes. They were just a lot better than us.
