Graduated!!!

Well, after the same fashion of Sarah's post: My older sister just graduated from high school yesterday. Though I am not the older sibling, I am so very proud of all that Ashleigh has accomplished. She has been diligent when she could have been lazy, excited when it would have been easy to be bored, and all around exemplary in her schooling. I look up to her and respect her so much, though I am sure I've never actually told her that. :)

Ash, I am so proud. It has been an honor and a joy growing up alongside you. Though we aren't parting ways - for now - I am excited to see you grow and mature in a new direction, as an adult. I cannot wait to watch you blossom as you follow God's perfect will for your life. Love you, my best friend.

My parents getting to graduate their firstborn... It was so cute; my Dad cried! Love it. One down, five to go, guys!
Ashleigh's co-graduates... there were others in our church who graduated, but these were the only three in the ceremony.

One of my friends, Grace, is heading out to New York on Thursday for the entire summer. She and some of her friends are heading up to a Christian camp to be counselors, kitchen crew, and horseback riding instructors - i.e. wranglers. I was able to attend they're going away party and snapped some pics real quick before we left. Adam, Kerrianne, and Grace.

I am so excited for you three! I know this time will stretch you all; but remember. If you don't stretch and grow the 'muscles' in your character now, you won't be equipped to do all God has called you to. I can't wait to see all the fruit in your lives after this season. God bless!

Well, I'm tired. Catch ya'll later!
