Elementary Ends

On an August morning in 2009, I woke up and then woke you up. I made you breakfast, helped you pick out your clothes, get dressed, brush your teeth and do your hair. I drove you to your first day of Kindergarten. We took pictures, walked inside, found your class line, and then followed your line to your classroom. It was just the beginning of your elementary years, but all beginnings come to an end eventually.

You no longer have me pick out your clothes, I dont need to help you get dressed, or brush your teeth and hair. You walk to school on your own and make your own breakfast. As the years go by you need me less and less.

Today marks the end of your elementary years, and come August a new beginning of middle school. Even though you no longer need me like you used to, I have enjoyed watching you change and grow and become your own person, and I look forward to watching you continue to do so in the future. You are becoming such a kind hearted, loving, beautiful, smart, amazing young lady.

I love you, and hope your last day of the 6th grade is amazing. Here's to the future!

10th Anniversary Roadtrip

For mine and Johnny's 10th anniversary, we took a two day road trip around Kansas, specifically to see waterfalls. We drove over 900 miles total and saw 9 different waterfalls. There were many more we didn't see, some because we decided ahead of time not to, and others because we ran out of time. It was very nice to have two days together, and we had an amazing time, we drove by the city of Reece Kansas, a ranch named H & J Ranch, and Johnny rescued a turtle. It was a great trip, though I sure did miss the kids. Glad to be home in time to spend mother's day with them!
