Ryan's Graduation






It's hard to believe Ryan has graduated from High School and will be 18 soon. His graduation was very memorable. Ron, Gloria and Carole Snyder came, as well as Debbie Dean and Sue Orchard. Ryan wanted taco salad and oriental chicken salad, and a chocolate Costco cake for dessert. The afternoon was lovely, we ate outside and had a nice time visiting. Later we walked over to the school for the OUTDOOR commencement exercises. Dark, ominous clouds rolled in. Flashes of lightening filled the sky. The wind started blowing, and rain started falling as the seniors walked in. It rained and the wind gusted during the ENTIRE program. Did the adults shorten their talks? NO! Where were we sitting during the lightening? METAL BLEACHERS! The speeches the graduates gave were outstanding, and it was a very happy/sad moment for me when Ryan received his diploma. He plans on attending BYU-Idaho starting in January on a full tuition scholarship for his freshman year. We are very excited for him!
