Graduation 2013

This past Sunday my brother Aaron was set to graduate high school. We had family travel from all over the Country to watch him walk across the stage. Unfortunately Kansas weather decided to do her thing, and it began to storm Sunday afternoon. That storm quickly turned into a severe thunderstorm warning and shortly after a tornado warning. It hailed, it rained, it was windy, a tornado even touched down on the other side of town. All of this caused graduation to be postponed, and later cancelled.

Unfortunately that means several of us couldn't make the graduation. That doesn't take away from the fact that we wanted to be there, but we can't control the weather. None of that makes today any less important though.

Today my little brother becomes an adult. Sure he has been 18 awhile now  and technically an adult, but once you earn that diploma is when adulthood really starts. This fall he will be the first of us kids to go to College. He will begin making real life adult decisions, pay bills, have debts, work a job, on top of school, to pay for those things. Today is a new beginning for Aaron. He worked hard to get to where he is at and if he keeps it up, he could conquer the world. I couldn't be more proud of him. Congratulations little bro, I love you!
