Dom's Big Day...With No Pictures

Hi everyone. We spent Friday evening with family and friends watching our beloved Dominick graduate with honors from St. Anthony's Middle School. What a night! The church was packed with parents, grandparents, and friends. Rhiannon was an alter server, which made the event more special. Keep in mind that we've known most of the graduating class since they were in second grade, so we had a blast!
I have to say, I started the evening with high hopes and great expectations. When I got home from work, not only was Dave dressed in matching clothes that I didn't pick out for him , but he had the digital camera charged up and ready to go with no prompting from me! Oh boy, I thought, this is going to be great! And it would have been....if only Dave could remember how to use the camera. We didn't get 1 single picture of the graduation, or the reception that followed. The more he tried, the more frustrated he got. Matt asked him if he could try and take some pictures and Dave damn near bit his head off. All part of the disease, I know, but maddening none the less. Next time I'll know to spirit the camera away before Dave gets ahold of it. Of course there's always the possibility that next time Dave won't remember the camera. Oh well, such is life with an Alz hubby! :)
So now Dom is off to start his high school career at St. Bonny's! He's the only one in his grad class that's going there. Most are off to Santa Clara, and a few to the dreaded 'public school' Oxnard High . After the reception, we all went out for Chinese food, except Dom, who went to a party with all his classmates. There was a slight change in the plan there. We were going to go to Joe's Crab Shack, but one of Dom's classmates decided to have a party, so of course all the kids wanted to go. Any who, I've become an expert at rolling with the flow lately. The evening was a huge success and lots of fun, (except for the camera part).
Off topic, we're going down to UCLA again on Monday for some psych testing that's part of the research project Dave is participating in for Dr. Mendez. We should be gone most of the day as the testing will take approximately 4 hours. I better take a book. I'll let you all know how it went sometime next week.
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading, see you next time in the blogosphere! Love you all! :)
