OK, technically this was Friday but I'm still happy about it...

My nephew, graduated High School!

For those who don't know, we nearly lost him. He moved in with me for a year, made up a lot of missed days and ended up graduating with a 3.2 after nearly failing. He is now healthy, focused and back on track. I'd like to take credit for it, but he did it all on his own. He since moved back home. His friends from his old school surprised him with a huge bed sheet in which they had spray painted "Matt (his last name) is Immortal!" in Kiss-style letters and hung over the fence at the school. (I'd post the pictures, but since they are minors and I don't have their permission I chose not to.) They also made cheesy poster board signs in marker and glitter, like people do on American Idol, so when they called his name they all started screaming and blowing horns and waving their signs. It was awesome, there were around 20 of them. He was bright red and beaming. Everyone came over to the house later and had a great time. It was the perfect day.
