Graduation . . .

This weekend Chelle graduated!! A year ago, she entered The Aveda Institute and agreed to dive right in to the year long program with NO VACATIONS. With the exception of a day or two off for holidays and couple Saturdays for friend's weddings, she has been in school Tuesday - Saturday for a year. It was so exciting to be at the school's hair show last week (where she was a group leader and designed numerous hair styles as well as walked the runway herself when one of her models had to cancel at the last minute) and then her final clock out.

She's done a wonderful job to be diligent in all of her classes and learn some great techniques. Chelle received several awards and commendations throughout the year for her hard work and excellence. Chelle, we love you and we're so proud of you!!

I had to put a picture of Greg's sushi up . . . it tasted just as good as it looks













We finally talked Dad into trying some sushi at the end of the night . . . and he actually liked it =)
