Here's my mom and me after my graduation from Chadron State College. My dad couldn't make it up to Chadron because he was still recovering from his brain sugery. (Something about hacking a hole in someone's skull and digging around to remove something that's not supposed to be there will tucker a person out.) And, my mom couldn't make it to Chadron on time for the ceremony...so, dad's brother and sister-in-law, Ron and Vicki, served as "honorary parents" during the ceremony and took pictures and yelled really loud for me. =)

This is a rather old family picture...it was taken in 1994. Of course, standing at the back are my mom and my dad. In the front row: my younger brother Joey, me, and my older brother Jon. You can tell this is an old photo--it's back when I had curly, somewhat-long *blonde* hair. Yes, that would be my natural hair color....SHHH! Don't tell! And, my dad doesn't have a beard anymore--that's been gone for a couple of years now...we desperately need to have another one taken!

Look for more to come as soon as pictures from Joey's high school graduation and our latest family reunion come in!
