He Graduated!...Or Did He?

Last Saturday was a happy day.  It was warm and sunny, almost no wind. The birds were singing. It was a perfect spring day. And it was made even better because we were able to watch Carson graduate from high school.

Well, we thought we were watching him graduate.  As it turns out, the diploma  holder that he is holding was empty because

he had an unpaid fine.

That kid! He knew about the fine on Friday before graduation but he didn't have the $10 to pay the fine and even after his dad and I gave him the $10, he decided he didn't feel like driving back to the school, because, you know it is all of a 3 mile drive. Good grief. He did go to the school yesterday and paid his fine (or so he says), but I have yet to see the actual diploma.

Still, we are very proud of him. High school had some ups and downs for Carson and he might have attended the school of hard knocks a couple of times. But in the end, he buckled down, found his motivation, and finished strong. We know that the lessons learned during these last 4 years will be good reference points and help him be a good college student. His dad and I are looking forward to seeing what he can accomplish at North Idaho College.

Love you very much Carson.

PS Can see the actual diploma, please?
