We had the most graduation invitations ever! Typically we have 2 or 3 in a year. This year we had 26. Several were obviously classmates of Jayden, however there were a lot of friends and family as well. My college roommate Teng's daughter Jasmine, high school friend Jolene's daughter Jordan, and high school friend's daughter Emma, were all graduates. Crazy! Some of the graduation parties we had time conflicts, and some were out of state or too far to travel. The ones that were close and we could get too, I tried my best to make an appearance. It was super fun to see how each person decorated and what food the had and pictures were displayed. We had a party every weekend the whole month of May and into June. Jayden made an extra effort to make sure to attend one of her Dayton friends parties and showed up an hour early so she could see her friend before leaving for a rodeo. Sadly the friend made not attempt to attend hers or give recognition of not being able to make it. I just don't understand kids these days.
I observed during Jayden's graduation, some people really surprised us. They made an effort to get to her party, travelling a long distance, or bringing all their kids that are super busy with activities. People came that we did not expect to show up. Some surprised us being very generous in their gifting. At the same time, people you consider a good friend or maybe a family that you expected to come for sure, wouldn't show up or even send a card!? People are certainly hard to figure out. Every invitation we got from a graduate in the mail, got a card and gift from us no matter what.
