Last Graduation

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY LITTLE COUSIN, KAYLA. SHE GRADUATED FROM KIRTLAND CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL THIS MORNING!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF HER AND ALL THE CLASS OF 2016!!!!


We attended the KCHS graduation this morning. There was a ton of ppl there, but I always pride myself on showing up only minutes before it starts and finding a parking spot near the field where the graduation is held and I ALWAYS do haha. Ppl were parking a mile away and walking. Me, I get my car in there and find me a space right in the parking lot next to the field. It was great! Hot today though and very windy. We, of course, couldn't find a seat so we ended up standing but we got to see her walk the aisle and get her diploma. She was one of the last 3 graduates called lol. The whole ceremony we waited for her name, but nothing. We started to think we missed her being called, but finally they did. It was a horrible ceremony though. The graduates who spoke, we couldn't understand anything they were saying plus the mics were really low and with the wind, you really couldn't hear anything. The one girl gave her speech towards the end of the ceremony and it was so bad because she was really nervous and it showed it her words. She kept messing up and making all these joking comments. It was just horrible. Anyway, I'm glad Kayla graduated. Next year, her little sister, Kristen, is graduating. That'll be cool to see as well.

After the ceremony, we all went out to the field and did the whole picture taking, congratulating song and dance thing. It took us forever to find them and I lost Lisa. She wandered off and didn't even get to wish Kayla a congrats. It was weird too. When we finally did find them, Kayla didn't seem to happy. She seemed so...dull, almost like she didn't want to be there. Then, she, Kristen and their mom (my aunt) Patty left in a hurry, leaving all of us there standing around. My grandparents, aunts and uncles along with my mom, dad, brother and cousins. So we then left. It was awkward.

The positive thing is that my mom is finally starting to talk to me. Not much, but a little. I decided that I'm not going to harvest any anger towards her. I don't want to be a bad person and if she's mad at me, so be it. She can be mad all she wants, but it's never going to get me to stop loving her or treating her like my mom.

Today was a good day!
