Yup that is correct! Our oldest daughter graduated from college on May 18th with a degree in Integrated Marketing and Communication. Now what the heck is that you ask? So did and do I to this date. All I know is that she has landed herself with a Bachelor of Science Degree from The Park School at Ithaca College. That means that she went to a prestigious school for landing a job in the fields of marketing, advertising, public relations and television and film! What does that do for our gal you say….
Well that means that she has landed herself an internship at a moderate sized PR, (Public Relations), firm in NYC. Thats right, our country bumpkin is going to be taking a bite out of the Big Apple this summer! Unfortunately for us that meant she was heading off to Gotham exactly 1 week after graduation day!! Oh sure don’t stress the rents out at all. Just give us the shortest time to pull together everything needed for a Grad Party in 3 1/2 days, as we returned home Tuesday evening and had to have the party on that Saturday, May 24th, as daughter dearest had to head to NY on Sunday Morning since her internship commenced on Tuesday.
Well this is Tuesday and she is in NYC at her new job and I am here typing so that means that we all made it through!! I have to tell you though that I did have my doubts a few times during the preliminaries of the party and send off. What do I mean by this you query? Well, let us just say that my love and better half whom I rely upon more than you can ever imagine got nailed with one of the most horrific of migraines that I have ever had the misfortune to see anyone ever come down with!!! It was so terrible that she was forced to stay in bed for the majority of Friday and most of the morning on Saturday in an effort to loose the headache, nausea, temperature, hot and cold sweats as well as total loss of strength! It was so bad that I had to call the doctor on Friday evening and disturb him on his off hours, thank the big guy upstairs that I have the Doc’s personal cell phone number on speed dial because of my problems. After relaying all of the symptoms and things to him he called in some prescriptions for her and it was off to the local pharmacy to get the all necessary healing pills!!
So Saturday comes around and it is time for the festivities to begin and where are the Mrs. and myself? Why at the grocery store where else would we be, at the party awaiting the arrival of our guests you say? Nope we are all geared up and running on full speed like crazy people trying to get the last minute forgotten items we needed to have to lets just say cool the beverages and cook the food!!! MHM we waited a bit to long to get them so we were late to our own party! I must say however that when we did arrive we pulled it all together and a wonderful time was had by all!
Tune in next time for as photo montage of the festivous grandeous!!
