Today, Mom and I had a marathon trip to Iowa to watch the lythe and lovely Abigail Rae Blomgren graduate from Ballard High School in Huxley Iowa. We left St. James at 8:30 am and arrived back at Mom's apartment at 9:15pm.

We stopped by Kent's apartment, picked up some ice and water for the party, dropped it at Brenda's house and then went to the high school where we just happened to sit right behind Brenda and her family. We met her fiance Bob and her parents--Karen and Louis and her sister and brother in law and three nieces and nephews were there too. In our row it was Kurt, Kent, Mom and I.

Abby looked very serious coming up the aisle

and sang beautifully in the choir.

She received her diploma

and then we were on the way to her party. Got to see Anna and hang out before leaving at about 5:30.

Overall it was a really fun day, I thought it went well and new Kent's youngest has graduated from high school!
