Graduation Season

Graduation season is in full swing around here! 

Well, just as I was writing this post during my 6th period class, my seniors walked into my room.  First, Amy  came in to ask me to read her speech for graduation.  As I read it, I began to cry.  This class is my first class.  They were freshman when I started here at SEW.  They gave me PLENTY of headaches that first year, but also LOTS of wonderful memories.  Amy is extra special to my family:)  She and I connected right away, and when she joined the speech team, we created a bond that has only gotten stronger over the past four years.  Over the past few weeks, I have shed lots of tears thinking about her graduating.  I am extremely happy for her, but I will definitely miss her.  

After Amy left, three other seniors walked into my room.  My tears weren't even dry yet and I started crying again.  This class has such a special place in my heart.  And as sad as I am to see them go, I am so excited to see what their futures hold.  I know that they all have bright futures ahead of them.  I think that is what makes me cry.  A little bit of sadness, but lots and lots of joy and hope.  Saturday's ceremony will be a celebration of what they have accomplished and a great send off to their future!

Here is a picture of us at Amy's open house.  James is already pretty attached to her too:)

This is a pillow case the basketball team gave Amy for her senior gift:)

It was baby boy central at her party! 

Allen graduated with his masters this weekend.  James and I made the trip to Cedar Falls to celebrate with him.  He is leaving for Wisconsin in August so we are getting in as much Uncle Allen time as we can:)
