Here's part 1....Lots has happened since my last post...well over a month ago. Eeeek! Some of the best news- Josh graduated, Parker started to walk, we are moving and Josh found a job!!

First off-The celebration started off last Wednesday. It was the senior gala. It was held at the Griffin Mansion in Las Vegas. It was fun to spend the night away without any kids.
