Our niece, Nicole, graduated with honors from high school in June and is WWU bound. We couldn’t be more proud of the beautiful, smart woman she’s become. Way to go, Nicole! Can’t wait to see what you do!

The day before we headed to Pullman, we found out Manivanh tested positive for Covid. Sadly, this left her out of much of the festivities they’d all been looking forward to for a long time. Kieron, Grammy and Papa, and I headed east that day. The next morning, Jonathan tested positive, which meant he couldn’t drive over with Avery, Silas & Layla. It was pretty disappointing the wrench Covid threw in this event, but we made the most of it.

Waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin

Pullman High School, Class of 2022

Earlier that day…

At Nicole’s graduation party, the following day

We went to Nicole’s track banquet while Scott and Manivanh prepared for the graduation party. Nicole was constantly being recognized on stage, as a team captain, MVP, scholar athlete, and so on. I can tell her team will miss her.
