just wait for the college ones lol. my dh is working on an honors BS/MS in engineering and has earned admission into several prestigous honor societies along the way. well every one of those societies has sashes, tie tacks, cuff links, tassle additions, diploma covers on and on...he's not into much of it but i will make sure he has his tau beta pi stole & honor cords and a few other things. i'm planning to spend as much on his grad party as our wedding plus we're also doing that 3-4 week hawaii trip in celebration too lol.

good thing he will be making 4 times as much $$ when he is done! ~ liz

Omg! How is it almost that time already? Its insane the way that time flies by like it does.

Zachery will be a junior next year. I think that I need to seriously start putting money back for all of this. LOL!

Are you planning a big party or a smaller family only celebration for her?

Yikes! I remember those days! Its been over 10 years since my kids graduated and prices were out of control then! LOL
Be prepared to spend much more $$ Stacy!
I can't believe Sydney is graduating already! Where did our gangly little Syd go? Oh yeah, she grew up to be a beautiful young lady! Aren't you just busting your buttons? She's come down an awfully long road!

When you share how good she is doing I think back to when she couldn't face going to classes...I'm soooo glad she was able to get over that...and move along...I worried about her.

She is such a beautiful girl...I hope she does well with whatever she wants to do.

She sure grew up fast.

Seems like we've watched her grow up.

Wow-the costs seem unreal!! Liz-what are you doing with the dogs when you are on your trip?? Sparky goes to an all day play kennel and is thrilled when we pull in the parking lot.

Though we loved every minute of every graduation, it's pleasing me no end to NOT be doing that this year! All six of the kids have graduated from college and grad school, so we're done until the grandkids start in 2021! It was a never-ending ritual every year, with one or another or more graduating high school or college or both. Ahhh, I'm relaxing now....And no more tuition payments, either! Hmmm, maybe we'll have a Not Graduating Party this summer.

Congratulations to all of you who have the season to look forward to. It's fun, and we loved it! Be proud and enjoy.

This is the first year we have not had anyone in school or even applying. The youngest graduated last May from law school and no one else talks about graduate school.

We started our family late and spaced the births, but we have been married 44 years. It kind of feels like the year we threw out the diaper pail. I suddenly realized that our planned baby spacing had resulted in that diaper pail sitting in the bathroom for 10 years!
