PJ's Graduation Visit

Bri and I just came back from a weekend trip to visit with PJ and watch his graduation from High School. The weekend was great. We flew into Portland and drove down on Friday to Roseburg. Saturday, we visited the UCC campus in the morning to see where he'll be going in the fall (did I mention full scholarship, I'm just so dang proud). We then ran around all over town, shopping for graduation clothes, meeting up with his friends at various bbq's, having dinner at his current place of employment (Red Robin). Sunday was graduation day. It threatened rain, but we lucked out. It seems the entire town of Roseburg comes out to watch the seniors graduate. Gotta love the small town atmosphere. It was actually pretty nice to see signs plastered all over town giving kudos to the kids for their success. Later we dropped him off at yet another party and then picked him up again and headed out for a celebration dinner. He checked into grad night at the high school around 9:30pm and we put on our jammies and called it a night. It was hard to say goodbye on Monday, I really just wanted to pack him up and bring him back home. Luckily Brianna is always available to offer advice and explain to me that all of my children must live there own lives in there own environments and that this is the way it's supposed to be.
