Last Thursday, June 3rd 2010, Charles Graduated from High School.
My Mom, Della, and Bash got invited. Bash had to leave early for work though which was sad because right when he got there a girl said she would cover for him. It would have been nice if she said it earlier so he could have seen his best friend Graduate. So My mom and Della and me sit in the grass on the opposite sides of the field that Charles was because there were no seats left in the bleachers.

So we waited, then seen this girl who had a Panda stuffed animal with a cap and diploma that came with a mini balloon and she got it across the street so Della and I walked and Della bought the Panda for Charles. On the way back she bought him a bouquet of flowers that said congratulations on one of the roses. We sat back down for like 20 minutes and we went to the restroom. Right when we were walking back they called Charles name I yelled "YEAH GO CHARLES" Loud!

When it was almost over we all went to the gate where they open it to get to the Graduates and we ran in there looking everywhere for Charles. I seen Bernadette and gave her a hug (Congrats to you too buddy!! ^^) and then spent like 5 minutes looking for Charles. We finally found him and his mom was like 30 feet away and was like "Come take pictures over her Tony!! I'm your Freakin Mom!!" Like kinda immature teen. Instead of just waiting till we took pictures with us she just had to get attention. When we walked over there my mom said "Here's your freakin son!!" Lol I thought that was kinda funny cause she gave my mom a glare and my mom just gave her a look back.

We took some pictures with him with his friends and left Foothill.
Charles went with us to my house to get the cake I made for him. It took over 11 hours to make because I wanted it to turn out good. It had buttercream white frosting, a strawberry cake, I put shell decorations on the bottom. I sprayed the bottom shells with black edible spray paint that was supposed to be black but turned a purplish color which was annoying, but good thing Charles loves purple. lol. I wrote "Class 2010, You did it Charles!" with black writing gel. I had got edible glitter which were star shapes and sprinkled those all over the cake evenly. On the right uphand corner I put a Graduation had with a Diploma that I made from fondant, and a Fondant Panda on the upper lefthand corner. It was so cute!

My mom got him a card that on the front had a dog with a cap on that said "Now you're graduating" and on the inside said "bet you're one proud puppy". We all signed it, and she bought him a nice watch too. Charles waited in the car as I got the cake and he closed his eyes the car ride back to his Aunt Angelas house because I wanted to surprise him there. When he seen the cake he loved it!! Especially the Panda. He hugged me and I could tell that he was happy!

Angelas house is where they had the party for him. Her son also graduated so that was cool. They had like a vegetable tray with dip in the middle, Charles mom made Bean dip and there was chips, and awesome chicken wings. The food was good. Charles, Bash, Della, Michael and me ate outside in the front while everyone was inside. Bash and Della left without getting cake which made me sad. Charles was the only one who ate the cake and I took some home for my family. After we ate, Charles and I stood outside and laid in the back of his mom's truck and just looked at the stars.

We had the Ipod Touch and an App of the star constellations. Like it showed you where they were and so we were sitting there trying to find the different constellations. It was nice. I felt so relaxed and happy just gazing at the night sky with my love. I stood there until 12:30 at night and my mom came. It was a great night and I was so proud of my Charles! I know he tried his hardest to get his diploma. He never gave up and I was just so proud of him I almost cried! I can't wait till I see him graduated college too! Love you Charles!!
