And thank goodness for that...it has been nothing but craziness of the dress, the shoes, the hair, the make-up etc...but it all culminated in a beautiful sunny day for a very busy itinerary ending in the early hours of this morning. Caiti and Jon were wonderful supporters. The day started with Chrissy having appointments that caiti and i tagged along to so we could do her other errands. She had to be at sammy's house to get dressed by 1:30 p.m. with Sammy, Laina, and Rita. Caiti was so good in doing up the new lacing on the back which actually worked out better than the original in my opinion. The dress was spectacular and very beautiful in every way. Luis came with flower corsages and dressed matchingly.
It was a chance to take lots of photos and for the grads to meet up before they headed downtown to the Renaissance Hotel for their banquet. We went to Queen Elizabeth Park and took more photos and then to the hotel as well. Then we took Jon and Caiti for sushi before we headed home for a quick rest before we were back at the school for the after grad event. I think my area worked really well with my new idea of checking the kids in and it was quick and smooth unlike the first year I was placed in that area for caiti's grad with the one table. After 2am I was assigned to the Prizes area as I also did a ton of work helping Sharon out, and at the end of it all...it was done at 5am with clean-up to follow. The only drawback, hardly any fresh help and many of us where past exhaustion at the end of it all at 6:30 a.m I had to pack my self off.
Slept until 10:00 as best as I could but Caiti was planning on driving back to Kelowna so she could sleep again before her night shift. She has since arrive home so we are glad she was safe. We took Chrissy out to a new for us malaysian restaurant called Tamarind Hill in New West for lunch as she is not going camping...already she has had text messages from friends about kids being so drunk they were already barfing so she wants to stay away from it all and I am very glad for this decision. As much as I want her to fit in socially...this is one advenure I don't mind her missing out on. So this was grad weekend...expensive and pricey but worth it for memories I hope and thank goodness for digital photos!!! Darcy took over 200, I did 150 and Chrissy had her camera too. Posted some on facebook for family and friends to view a sampling.
