And our second has graduated high school.....

 It has been said that your children growing up happens in the blink of an eye, the older my children get the more I see it and believe it.  Aubree graduated today from Bartlett High School.  She was #8 in her class of 598 and had a GPA of 4.5.  My heart swelled as she walked in and it just so happen that where sat was the row she walked in on....what a tender mercy from above, what are the chances?  I am excited to see what lies ahead for Aubree but it also makes me a little sad that now 1/2 of my babies are growing up and leaving the nest.  I fear at times that I have neglected to teach them or that I have failed in some aspect of their mother.  Fortunately, they are surrounded with so many other good influences and an exceptional father.  

 

To the man who...

To the man who:

-loves me unconditionally

-easily forgives and forgets

-has created a home, a refuge for our family

-protects and provides

-willing devotes time and service to others

-makes us laugh daily

-has a love for the gospel

-invites the spirit in our home

-reminds me of my worth and that I’m a daughter of God

-plants me a salsa garden 

-is my forever chips and salsa date

-plays the piano  for me

-leaves his comfort zone to make his girls smile and plays ball with our boys

-loves the Lord & never tires from Him.

You are the absolute best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you for choosing me a few years ago and always standing by me. You’ve made my life better and are my saving grace. Happy 21st anniversary, Jake.

Here’s to then, now, and forever!
