Adult Aileen

I can't believe my sister is done with school! It's so strange because I will always see Aileen as my little sister- not as an adult. I mean she's a substitute teacher for goodness sake! I'm really very proud of her. My brother and I spent the entire ceremony running around like maniacs and hurdling stadium seating trying to get one decent picture of her crossing the stage. I think Simon did a better job.
After the ceremony we headed over to the reception. Unfortunately all the good food and ice cold beverages had been snatched up. Aileen spent the next hour hugging her friends and taking pictures. My dad spent most of his time sitting under a shaded tree. After the food had disappeared, the crowd began to thin. I looked back at my parents and saw my mom sitting by herself. My dad had left the English Department reception for another reception held nearby. He strolled back triumphantly with a slice of cheese pizza in each hand. Aparently the Engineering Department had better funding.
