Officially Retired

Image
July 1st. Today is Matt's official retirement date.   A few weeks ago we celebrated with the kids. We didn't have a fancy ceremony, or long thank you speeches.  It was just us. The way it has been for most of Matt's career - a family affair. And it was perfect.  Retirement gift from the kids He was shocked! Private dinner in The Barrel Room at The Black Sheep Restaurant  More celebrating after dinner! 

The Graduate

What can I say...the day came to be. Our baby, our littlest little, graduated from high school. I've said "I'm so proud" endlessly, and every single time, I've meant it more than the time before.   In the last 13 years she's been in 8 different schools. She walked into each one with nervous excitement and the same sweet smile she had as a kindergartner.  My girl, I am so proud. Every moment of every day, I am so proud of you.  First day of kindergarten  September 2013 Last day of high school  May 2026  Joint grad party!  May 31, 2026  Best of friends... both heading to Pittsburgh in the fall!  Duquesne roommates!  Graduation Day  June 4, 2026  Viv wore each of her grandmas' rings to the ceremony
