Jeff

This has been a wonderful day! Jeff graduated from ASU. He worked hard and has a degree now to prove it. There is something about that "Pomp and Circumstance" that makes you realize what a feat this is. Being in December, the class was small. Perfect for a guy that would just as soon get it done (when thinking of all the pre plans)) and kind of sad when it's finally here (because deep down, he really was proud of himself!).

We wanted to host a Mexican dinner and invite anyone he wanted. But after some careful thought (for a few days, trying to figure out how he was going to break it to us) he decided that Peter Piper Pizza was more up his alley. So, thanks to sweet Vita, friends, parents, Grandparents, sisters, brother in laws, nieces, uncles, aunts, and cousins were there with flying colors. The pizza was great and the cake and goodies were awesome, but those tokens were the highlight! Every size relative and friend disappeared into game land and played their hearts out. I don't think any one will forget Jeff's graduation party. Jeff knew that even though Mexican food sounded good, he needed a PARTY. That's just the kind of guy Jeff is. This was his party and he wanted everyone to come and have fun.

So, this morning, a happy grown man in a cap and gown with a diploma . . ..tonight, a happy grown kid in a T shirt and hoodie with a pocket full of tokens.

It makes a mother proud!
