Alot's been happening lately. Sarah had her graduation ceremony on Saturday, and her party on Sunday. My family came out for the weekend, and went home yesterday.
Last week went real well. I had some difficulties at work with a no-call/no-show. Which I take very seriously... I also got to work with Hinsdale's Laura for the first time. Laura is a professional barista. I think that's the best way to put it. Easily the most structured shift manager I've ever met, and I was a bit nervous working with her, but it turned out great. Just do everything she says, and you'll be good. It sounds bad, but she makes it really easy. You don't have to worry about what's going on, or what you should be doing... it was a really nice break, as I have been the shift on duty every shift I've worked for the past several weeks. It was pretty relaxing actually, even though we were swamped. I hope that at some point I can measure up with these great people that I am learning from.
Sarah's graduation ceremony was really cool. It was SO good to see her cross that stage. She wore a black cap and gown, a gold sash for her title of "Summa Cum Laude" (Which is awesome!!! That means "with highest honor" in latin) and black and red sashes for her participation in Sigma Tau Delta (English Honors Society). Afterwards, we went to a really nice reception where she was congratulated by her professors and coworkers from the school. We took some really good pictures there, which I will post later, and then we stopped at a local hotdog place (not Portillo's, Erina... I wouldn't do that to you...) and headed home.
Sunday was the party for Sarah at her parent's house in Midlothian. We went to church in the morning, and then headed over to start decorating. The night went great, and Sarah got a ton of really nice gifts. The most complex of which was a vacation for us in October. She got airfare, and a weeks stay in a relative's condo on South Padre Island off the coast of Texas. Other family members donated certificates to restaurants, and Sarah's parents set us up with parasailing tickets... It's going to be wonderful. Sarah needs a break so bad. There were lots of other great gifts all around. From my parents and brothers, and Sarah's close friends... It was a great time. The food was really diverse and delicious, and the weather couldn't have been better.
My family hung out until yesterday afternoon when they headed back to Ohia. After they left, Sarah and I watched "West Side Story" and then went for a nice long walk. She is so nice to live with... the best partner I could hope for. Life is so nice... I look forward in anticipation of what the future holds.
Well, that's it for now. I am going to work on some projects I have lying around. I think that Sar and I have our date night tonight, so that should be fun.
Peace out.
Jim

I think I've said this quite a number of times, but it can never be said enough: "We (Mom & Dad Miller) are SOOOOO proud of Both of you! Sarah has accomplished great things during her college career, and Jim has worked hard to help make it happen for her. Hats off to you both for your hard work and diligence. May the Lord bless you abundantly for your efforts, and may the same perseverance see you through the whole rest of your life together, especially in matters spiritual. You may recall me saying, 'ALL of life is a spiritual matter,' and I wholly believe that's true!"
LOVINGLY, Dad
