Yesterday was Katherine's grad! It was a busy day, and I feel like I didnt stop all day! I got up at 7a.m, with Eli and let andy sleep in a bit more since he was going to be hanging out with the little guy most of the day. Kath got here by 8:20, and we headed out to ger her hair done. Then once her hair was done, we raced back to Kristin's place for make up... I then drove home quickly to shower and get ready, turn around and go back to Kristins to meet everyone to head out to the ceremony.
I sent Andy and Eli off to go pick Katherine's corsage up, but on my way to Kristin's place we realized that Kath would probably want it for pictures, so I turned around raced back into sherwood park, got to the mall just as Andy and Eli were pulling out (this is also 5 minutes before I'm supposed to be meeting everyone!!) so I ran into the store to see if it was infact them and not someone with the same car. Yup it was! I raced out and finally caught up to them, got the corsage and sped back to Kristin & Jasons place, with a few minutes to spare.
The ceremony (like all ceremonies!!) was long. 3 hours. But it wasnt too bad, it was broken up quite well. The grads walked across the stage in 4 sections because it is such a large group! Then once that was done we shot a few pictures, I came home so Andy could shower and get ready, his mom came over and out the door we went for the reception. Dinner was good, and it was nice to just sit since the morning had been so crazy!
It was a beautiful day, and Katherine looked amazing! She had her dress made by a family friend who is a seamstress... Ruby Ellen Designs is her business. She's located out of Calgary, but we were lucky enough to have her make a dress for Kath. So she definitly didnt have the same dress as anyone else there, not even close! Ruby made my grad dress, as well as Kristins grad dress and her work is amazing! http://rubyellendesigns.com/ Here is her website!
So this morning we were going to go to church, but I asked Andy if I could stay in bed an extra hour while he got up with Eli at 6:45a.m. Then I got up made some french toast, Eli went down for a nap, and we've decided to just spend the morning nice and quiet at home. Andy really needs that down and quiet time. So he's gone back to bed. The house is quiet, and I have my cup of tea and I'm enjoying just being at home.
Congrats Katherine on your 12 years of school! You looked amazing yesterday, and what a beautiful young woman you have blossomed into! Its absolutely incredible!
