My School Graduation

Well it is officially over!! I received my diploma yesterday!! I brought the yearbook for everyone to see what I had done so far! Everyone liked it!! We all walked in and had a wonderful ceremony. When the ceremony ended....we all popped poppers as a WE DID IT!!! LOL We took pictures afterwards....and Mrs. Connelley said I looked pretty with my honors cord...and hugged me. I will miss her!! Mrs. Zeringue wished me well and told me to keep in touch!! I will miss her too! I didnt get to see Mrs. Kelly since she was not there, but I plan on visiting soon.

Some of us went out to eat afterward to celebrate. It was nice being with friends and eating good food!! We went to La Carreta's in Hammond. Brandy Williams came with her mom,brother, sister and family friend. Angelique and Sharon came with some family. Desiree brought her daughter Haley. Shelli was with her fiance. Beth and her husband Michael were there too! Then it was Mun Young, Eliza, Gaylin, Megan, Me, Jodi, and Amber were also there.

After we finished eating I took the pink roses that represented Brandy's presence at the ceremony to her at the cemetary. I know that she is looking down on us and wishing us well!!!

When everyone was getting up to leave a sense of sadness came over me....and I began to cry. THIS WAS THE END!! It was over!! This adventure that took 16 months of my life and gave me wonderful friendships (one of whom is with me from above) is no longer!! I pray that we keep in touch and stay friends forever!!!

I will miss them!!

Kase's 5th Birthday

This past weekend we had Kase's bday party at The Fun Farm. Caitlyn from ABC Academy and Annalise came to celebrate with us. We had fun....the kids really didnt want to play putt putt golf....but Johnathan, Keith, Darren and Amy...sure got a kick out of it!!LOL....(wait till I scrap those pictures) Kase was pretty worn out when the day was over!!

To Kase:

Happy Birthday son,....I cant believe its been 5 years since I held you in my arms...my first born son!! I remember how we used to play hide and seek with the blanket...I would put it over your head and then pull it off real fast...and you would giggle the cutest little laugh!! Remember "be patient in all that you do....for good things come to those who wait"....believe me....Kase this is true!!! May this year hold many blessings for you!! I LOVE YOU......Love, Mommy

I feel.... HAPPY

Last night I received my nursing pin! I have a since of accomplishment about me today... It has been a long and hard road these last 16 months. But I finally did it.....I have become a NURSE!!!! YEAH

My dad came down from Texas to watch my pinning....and that was wonderful too!! I loved him being a part of my celebration!!

The kids are great!! I hated Chelsea not being here to see me graduate...but she was in my thoughts!!

May Already???

Well it seems the days are going by faster than ever. The kids are growing up so fast. Katilyn will graduate Kindergarten and Kase will graduate Pre-K this month. And lets not forget....I graduate on May 12th from Nursing School!!

This is an exciting month for all of us. Kase will also turn 5 on May 5th...so I plan to make that special for him at school.

Coby has been doing so well with potty training....I think we can officially say he is 'trained'!! YEAHHHHHH

Chelsea seems to be doing well...she hasnt said that she wants to come home....but thats ok....as long as she gets through these lasts few years of school.....I am ok with her not being with me. I guess we have to let them grow up at some point in time....right???

This week the kids have all suffered from a nasty virus....but all seem to be on the mend....
