Bridget was surprised to see we were sitting right behind her!  We were too.


She got her diploma from her dad...

... who also closed in prayer.

Amazement

“Ten times a day something happens to me like this – some strengthening throb of amazement – some good sweet empathic ping and swell. This is the first, the wildest and the wisest thing I know: that the soul exists and is built entirely out of attentiveness.”  - Mary Oliver

Bridget's Last High School Curtain Call

Gather round, it's almost over...

Wanted: One Groom

Bridget had one more opportunity to be in a high school play this past weekend.   They did student directed Playbills and Bridget was in one called, "Wanted: One Groom."


Bridget playing "Kayla" and her best friend on stage talk about her wedding plan while Mrs. Shand sits on the couch.

A brief synapsis: Mr. and Mrs. Shand’s meeting through a classified ad brought marital bliss.  So why not place a husband want ad for Kayla, their daughter?  But the family carries strict requirements:  respect for elders, a promising future and an appreciation for antiques.  Excited over the prospect, Kayla invites her best friend over to discuss arrangements.  The doorbell rings.  A young gentleman, who just happens to be eligible, is answering an ad...  for an antique statue!  But he’s well-mannered, obviously likes antiques and is even studying law at Harvard.  Through a hilarious conversation laced with double meanings, the prospective buyer becomes the prospective groom. 


The Best Friend tries to talk the parents, Kayla, and the potential groom out of the ridiculousness of planning a wedding with a want ad.


They need to wait just a few days for the marriage license after all.

So unique

So beautiful

Laughter is good for the soul.

Old Pals

Jessica, Elise, Bridget
These 3 have been friends since they were 3 years old!  Soon they'll be going off to separate colleges, so they wanted to stand together for a pic,


and an old pose. I have a few photos when they were younger, but the scanner is in the box, so I will leave that to your imagination.

Bridget's Prom Gang

This was likely the last time I will ever need to take Prom pictures of all the friends.


Purple was the color of the day.


The girls showed off their flowers,


and the boys, their state championship rings.

Bridget & the Senior Prom

Bridget went to prom this past Friday with Noah, a guy she works with.  What a nice kid, he can handle all the flood jokes with ease!


They put their flowers on,
 
Then they posed for a few shots on a lovely May evening.

Flash Back Friday

Gather round while we look at the last time Bridget rode a school bus in 8th grade.


She is embarking on her final 2 weeks of high school now.
