One down, one to go
Our household has two graduations this month; Kristen leaves Rhodes College and Allison enters it.
We're just now returning from Memphis, having watched my firstborn walk the walk. A gorgeous weekend: the commencement ceremony was held outdoors among the oaks on campus. Just as her high school ceremony four years ago, I was hard pressed to hold it together, and probably the only thing that kept me from becoming a blubbering idiot was tne fact that I was videotaping and couldn't afford a nervous breakdown on tape.
We finished the weekend by moving Kristen and her roommate out of the dorm and a mile down the road to their new post-grad apartment. I'd forgotten about first-time apartments, and I had a wicked case of deja vu - I was back in Jer's place at Summer Wind, circa 1975.
Next up: Allison's high school graduation in a week. I know I'll lose it then. Guess I'm just a girlie-dad.
