Big Changes

Summer for the Warnes family began with Brian's graduation from 8th grade. In the middle of his graduation ceremony, Brian delivered a speech in which he talked about his experiences with sports over the past 3 years. He talked about season records, rain delays, and, of course, his broken collarbone. He also thanked his coaches for the teamwork he was able to experience and his fellow players for allowing him this opportunity. After some of his fellow graduates delivered their speeches, the principal gave her infamous annual speech in which she predicts each student's future. Apparently, Brian is to become a five-star general and, with his war tactics, he will create world peace and put a stop to terrorism.
After the graduation ceremony, we went as a family to a local restaurant and ate a delicious dinner. We then drove Brian back to the school for his graduation dance, where he got to hang out with his friends for one of the last times.
Now we're moving to a completely different subject: hair! This past Thursday, Barbara and Julie went to Colleen (the hair stylist we've gone to for years) and donated 10 inches of their hair to Locks of Love. About three months ago, Julie turned to Barbara and asked her if she would donate with her. Barbara agreed and they did it - and both of them love their new haircuts.
