Ariel’s Graduation

Author: Kimberly

Ariel graduated from High School on May 23, 2013. We are so proud of her! Patrick was able to go to the graduation ceremony while Xander, Clara, and I were able to watch it from home on TV. We are so proud of her and can’t wait to see what is in store for her in the years to come in college!
