It's About Time




It has been a long while since I have blogged. In ways I have missed it. It other ways I have not. Work has been crazy busy this year as I have not had a full time assistant and it takes me longer to provide the same things for my students. Rachel's grad has been building since September 1st of last year and came to a head on Saturday. She looked beautiful And I have never felt more proud to be her mother. I was was so proud of Amy and Rachel as they had, really, the only two modest prom dresses at the grad. Rachel wore her hair in an updo and looked like a princess. I was on the decorating committee for SuperGrad and made 26 centerpieces with a Vegas theme. I took the afternoon off on Friday from work to help decorate. It looked nice. My sister and neice were the sole representatives from my extended family while Steve's family blew their performance out of the water with both of his parents, His sister and their family, another sister and her oldest, and Morgan. I'm settling back in to life a little more calm. It has been a long, rapid ride!

Rachel looks gorgeous - good for her for for choosing to dress modestly.

Yay Rachel! Congratulations! I wish I could have seen it. Her dress looks fantastic! It's a hard thing to do to be different from everyone else and have a modest dress. Way to go! I definitely paid off. That colour looks great on her!
