Last night at 8:00 PM, my brother, Eric, Graduated from Seguin High School. It was a very nice ceremony. It was weird being back at SHS; it has been 7 years since I graduated from high school! Wow how time flies! Eric was so nervous and excited to graduate. It was so fun getting to be there and watch him walk the stage. I know it was an amazing feeling for him! :)
Ryan and I also had our school's graduations on Friday night and Saturday morning. It was great to see our students walk across the stage as well. Some of them worked so hard to get there, as did Eric! Graduation is a bittersweet feeling. The kids are so excited to be done, but at the same time sad to be leaving a place where they have been for the past four years of their lives. I have only been at RHS for a year, but it was emotional for me as well. It's a neat and indescribable feeling to watch the Seniors walk across the stage. It has been one of the most enjoyable things about my job!
Ryan and I have been working on our Peace Corps invitation packet. We have tons of paperwork to fill out, including visas, passports, aspirations statements, and so on. We are getting it done, but are super busy. Everyone take care and see you all soon!

Today Ryan and I arranged to pick up our invitation from UPS at 8 PM. We were so excited! We went home and opened it up and were going to....... the Philippines!!! We are so ecstatic. My family was coming into town the next day for us to go camping. So Ryan and I read as much as we could and then finished the tons and tons of information on Sunday evening and Monday. We called this morning to accept our invitation only to get a machine, so we will call later to make sure they got us down as accepted. So we will be leaving for staging on August 19th, 2010!! We will be serving until November 12th, 2012! How EXCITING!!!!
