The Best Day of My Life


Today, Sonshine graduates from high school. We've had some rocky times over the last four years. But we've had some fun times as well. Each fall was busy with band and football games. Sadly Senior Year wasn't all it should have been for Sonshine, especially in terms of band, but we made it!

From this...

 (five months gestation)

(eleven and half month old)


To this...

(Spring 2007)

(Christmas 2009)

And now this...


 
(Early spring 2014)
 OOOPS...I meant this...
(Late Spring 2014)


You've come a long way, kiddo. I love you bunches...

Was it just a few months ago...


...that I was lamenting the slow churn of time?

Well, now I'm staring down the barrel at Sonshine's graduation a mere month from now.

Then it'll be fireworks season.

And before I know it, Sonshine will be off to boot camp...

I haven't gotten maudlin about it all.

YET.

I'm still looking forward to a kid-free house. We'll see how that changes the closer we get to these milestones...

Where did the time go?

A time to be proud...

My younger daughter graduates high school this evening. Family and friends will be gathering to watch and then celebrate afterwards.

And if just graduating isn't enough, let's add National Honor Society member, National Society of High School Scholars member, and magna cum laude to her list of accomplishments. Not only that, but she mentioned she may be getting some sort of pin to acknowledge that she's graduating with more than the requisite credits.

And really, let's just go all out, she's already got one credit to her name at the community college she'll be attending in the fall.

*And* she's got a job in a field related to her field of study. (She's working at a daycare--she's pursuing elementary education.)

It's a great day at our house!
