“I better be getting that beer you owe me tonight.” Jon said turning around to talk to us.
“Maybe tomorrow night. We have plans tonight.” Olivia said squeezing my hand. I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. I was last in the line of our group. Ryan went across the stage first. He gave a fist pump in the air as his loud family screamed for him. Riley blushed as Ryan always seemed to embarrass her but she loved it. Lacy was next and I couldn’t believe she was going to be gone soon. She was the only reason I didn’t give up on Olivia and was a great friend. Jon went across next and gave the President of the school and a hug. I was going to miss that big fellow.
Then Olivia went across the stage. Her family shouted for her and I couldn’t believe that I was lucky enough to be with this woman. She was smart, gorgeous and as brave as anyone I will ever know. She turned around as she was walking off the stage and blew me a kiss. I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with that woman.
Then it was my turn. I walked across the stage. I shook the president’s hand and grabbed my diploma. I couldn’t believe what I had accomplished in my life. I almost had it all taken away from me a week ago. It made this day mean so much more. I had put so much time and hard work to get here and it almost disappearing made me appreciate it more. Now I had a great job, a diploma and the woman of my dreams. My life was anything but ordinary.
