My "Baby" Is Moving On!

Well, we made it through the month of May. Both Prom and Graduation are over now and we all survived. Ashley had a wonderful time at her prom and, as a mom, I have to say she looked stunning as well! (No bias there, huh?) ; ) She also graduated in the top 15% percent of her class and was a Sr. Senator in the Student Government. We were bursting with pride as she walked across the stage and accepted her diploma as a member of the first graduating class ever of Boulder Creek High School!

As you, my loyal friends and blog readers know, I've had a tough time adjusting this year to the fact that my firstborn child will be leaving the nest in the fall. My heart has been flooded with mixed emotions of pride and happiness touched with sadness knowing that I'll miss seeing that sweet face every day. (Plus there's this nagging question of, "Am I really this old?") ; ) But now that we've gone through High School graduation, I'm left with feelings of gratefulness and hope as Ashley steps out in faith on her journey to adulthood. I know I'm going to miss having her around everyday, but I am so pleased with the direction she's going and excited for the opportunities and experiences she has ahead of her! I'm also looking forward to some quality time with my other "baby", Chelsea. She's going to have a tough time adjusting to not having her sister/best friend around every day. I'm sure we will be our own little support group for each other. : )

God has blessed me with two children who have filled my life with joy! My cup truly overflows! Thanks to all of you for the prayers and support you've given our family during this time of transition.

Here's to the Class of 2007! May God bless each and every one of them!
