My Graduation and a HUGE Surprise

You know, I think it's ironic how people can keep secrets from me. I am talking about BIG secrets, for MONTHS! Everyone knew BUT me, that my dear friend, Javawn and her family were planning to show up for my graduation. Long story short, I was VERY surprised and I cried (with joy, of course). It had, at that point been almost two years since we've seen each other. Here are some pictures from that memorable day!

Beautiful Girls

Handsome Boys

Myles being interviewed, they asked him who he was here for...

Then I had to join...

And of course Ronnie was not gonna be left out of the lime light!

Waiting for the ceremony to start

Still waiting...

Forever Friends

Not real sure what's happening in this picture...

More of the handsome boys
Friends forever, well, they call themselves cousins...so that must be what they are!
Yep, I am down there amongst nearly 1000 graduates. Thankfully I was in the third row and sneaked out after walking.

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

I am now a college student!!

Ok, I am gonna brag a little! Normally, I only brag about my kids but this time I am gonna talk about myself. I am very excited and quite proud of myself, I am going back to school! I am into my second week of an online English class and I am loving it. I am learning new things as well as recalling stuff I learned in high school. After high school I went to Sierra River College, briefly (I think 3 semesters) then I got married and was busy working. Then my motherly time clock started ringing and we decided to start a family. Never thinking I would end up with four children! I've always known I wanted to go back to school, I've always loved school (except mornings were a little rough for me, just ask my mom). So anyhow, I thought I'd share my new adventure with you in hopes that you'd keep me in your prayers. I am a wife, a mother, a teacher(homeschool), a preschool teacher, and a student, and that is just the beginning! What a life!
