It’s a wrap!

My niece, Miss A, is now officially graduated from high school and we celebrated her many accomplishments this weekend at her grad party on the farm and at the ceremony today at Buffalo Lake-Hector-Stewart High School.

Miss A is smart (so smart!), talented, wicked funny, and poised for success in wherever her path leads her. (She’s planning to study international business at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.) And as I told her brother six years ago after his high school graduation (read here), it is clear that Miss A is ready for college.

And she’s also been an awesome cousin and mentor for Joe. The two have always been close despite their almost-three-year age difference. How lucky they are — cousins who are also good friends are the best! — and how grateful I am to have a close-knit family where we all enjoy spending time with each other.

This weekend, we celebrated Miss A for her big heart, her witty humor, her smarts, her maturity, and her bright future.

Be a pineapple: Stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside.

Love you, Miss A!

Golf is a constant in Audree’s life – she not only plays (and plays well!), she also works at the local golf course. So golf ball party favors is appropriate.
