OH MY GOODNESS!!!!

Sooooo- what a crazy fun weekend! The events in question are:

The Sound to Narrows 12K and 5K run, and Jade graduating from COLLEGE!

THAT'S RIGHT- COLLEGE- I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT EITHER!!!!

So these events are in order of when they happened not in order of importance- cause Jade's graduation was alot more important than a run!

OK, we were running in the Sound to Narrows run Saturday morning! Jade, Kent and our fave cousin Kyle were doing the 5K (3.1 miles), and I was doing the 12K (7.45 miles). Here we are getting ready to run. I was sooooo thankful that it didn't rain on us, the weather said all week rain so I was kind of bummed. But now rain- I said I would not complain about how cold it was if it didn't rain, well, it didn't rain, but I couldn't help whining a little bit about the cold. I couldn't help it! But once I started running it was OK!

The kids' 5K started before my run, so after they took off, Jeromy got this one of me getting ready to start mine.... I ran my 12K in 1:16:01, I ran it almost 2 minutes faster last year- oh well!

Afterwards, we stayed a little for the awards, and Kyle- of course- placed! He won 3rd place overall for the 5K running it in 18:04.... he really is amazing. That's running a mile in 6 minutes... insane! Jade got 36:25, and Kent got 35:22.

The bib numbers were really colorful this year- love that!

Here we are all in our new tech shirts! This was the Sound to Narrows 40th anniversary run!

OK, Kent really needed a haircut! Like it so far??

OK- onto Sunday! Even tho we had Jade's graduation to get ready for we did go to church cause I hate to miss it. Still in Proverbs... some good reading people! We also got the last minutes decorations for Jade ready. Her colors were red and white.

Awesome Costco cake, Jade wanted the hat to be red and they did it!

There she is ready to put on her cap and gown!

That's alot of graduates. I think they said there were over 1,000 graduates- the biggest class that OC has ever had they said during announcements.

Proud mom and grandma waiting to hear Jade's name called...

 There she is walking across the stage! All who came to watch Jade graduate: Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Lee, Grandma Claire, Mom- me!, Jeromy, Aurora, Kent and the kids' dad Josh. We were all so proud of her!

Afterwards I told Jade she could go anywhere she wanted to go for dinner, she chose Famous Dave's. Everyone seemed happy with that choice! Jade wanted her some ribs!

And she got 'em!

Jeromy loved his hamburger, too, once they made it with out the cheese!

After dinner we all headed back to our house to have some cake! Here's Jade with her dad and Grandma Claire...
