Just because I'm bored

It's graduation season, so I've been pretty busy with that the past few weeks. Of course, I blogged about my sister's card – the craft gone bad – previously. Luckily, it was a big hit last weekend at Mary's party. I think it was obvious that a lot of work – though not perfect work – had gone into it, so that impressed some of the family members.

It's hard to believe that Mary is done with high school now – and that my parents are done raising kids. Where did the time go? I always remember Mary as a little kid, now she's going to college. It doesn't seem like so long ago that I was headed off to Drake, though apparently, it was (yikes) eight years ago.

This weekend, I'll be heading back to Iowa for another graduation. This time, for my cousin Joe, who's graduating from Dowling. That one's hard to believe, too. I remember riding down to Branson with little Mary and little Joe in the back seat, chanting, "We want the Presleys, we want them now." That went on for about three hours – it seemed annoying at the time, but it's cute now.

In non-graduation news, I ordered a digital camera from Best Buy a few days ago. This was very exciting for me, since I haven't had a functioning digital camera in about two years. I figured I needed one before my big trip to the Dominican Republic (only three weeks away!!), and I hope it will help make my blog much more aesthetically pleasing. Hopefully, it will last longer than my first one, which took about 10 pictures and then went on strike – permanently.
