She had a great time. She looked gorgeous (see pic below) and enjoyed being with her friends and celebrating their accomplishment. She has really enjoyed middle school, which leads me to believe that she will probably be able to enjoy anything in life!
Amber also received a Super Scientist Award (for "Attitude, Aptitude and Hard Work"), presented to her with her diploma, which was a fun surprise. I have to admit I got a little teary eyed when they got to the N's and I saw her standing anxiously on the stage waiting for her name to be called. My emotions were partly the result of how quickly she is growing up and partly that I am just so proud of the person she is. Jacob, on the other hand, was teary eyed when the 5th speaker took the microphone (thankfully each speech was only about 2 minutes long!) Near the end of the ceremony he started asking us, "Is it over yet?" every 30 seconds.
We are proud of Amber and know she will do great things in high school and beyond!

Dude, you have a high schooler.
What a darling. She does look beautiful and I got teary eyed reading that you got teary eyed! The craziest thing about having a kid that old is that I totally remember being that age! The surprise award is awesome. Smart girls are the best.
A grade nine graduation memory to ask Brad about...the Floor Show.
