Happy Graduation, A Trip to Urgent Care, and A Near Miss!

Last weekend I flew out to Cali to watch my sister graduate from high school after four very long years. After a horrible attempt at finding somewhere to sit, we enjoyed watching Adrienne take her walk across the field wearing her shiny gold stoles. Adrienne was of course herself and was jumping around, being a big dork. Since she was Associate Student Body President, she had to give one of the speeches at the graduation. She did a great job and I was so proud of her. I must admit that there was a slight tear when I realized that my baby sister is growing up- or maybe I realized how old I'm getting!?

Since the graduation was on a Thursday, I got to hang with the family all weekend. Everything was great until we were getting ready to go to a movie Saturday and my eyes suddenly tweaked out and I knew what was coming...duhn...duhn...duhn... a dreaded migraine! I couldn't kick it and so my mom decided not to mess around and took me to urgent care. Oh, it was great fun. The doctor wanted to give me a shot, which seemed all well and good until I found out where it went...in my butt! Yeah, I don't think so. I took the alternative which was a nice little pill, I just had to wait a little longer for relief. The pain finally subsided and I was able to go to dinner with my parents (Adrienne was out with friends at a grad party) to my favorite little Mexican restaurant in Corona.

On Monday my plane left bright and early. My mom and I did are usual early morning stop at McD's for an egg McMuffin and hopped on the freeway. Not too far down the road we had quite the experience. We were driving along in the FastTrack lanes when out of nowhere a car coming spinning out into our lane of traffic. It was nuts! My mom swerved and missed the car by inches as it slammed into the median. We swerved for a while and my mom finally got a hold of the car. Thank goodness for traction control! When we finally got the car stopped we were both shaking. When we finally hit reality again I called 911 and my mom jumped out to go check on the other car. While on the phone I realized that there were two other cars involved and they were pretty smashed up and sitting on the opposite side of the freeway. An officer finally stopped and talked with my mom while I checked on the car. I was shocked. I couldn't find a single scratch or nick on the entire car. I know that we both thanked out Heavenly Father for watching out for us that morning. I finally made it to the airport with not much time to spare.

It was a good weekend, but much too exciting for me! I'm just happy that I got to share graduation with my sister and am excited for her to start on the road through college and all life had to offer! Congrats Adrienne and good luck in everything you do!
