Graduation Day


Today was my Melissa's graduation ceremony.  And yes, she is MY Melissa.  She may not be my daughter but she means just as much to me!  I am so proud of her and who she's becoming.  I thought I'd be a little emotional during the ceremony but I wasn't.  I was just so proud.  I can't believe she's old enough though!  Wow. 




Look how much she's grown!!!  She's always been beautiful but look at her now. 



Melissa and her sister Emily have been my pride and joy for the last 11 years.  Somedays they feel like my daughters, other times they feel like my sisters...but either way, they're a huge part of my heart.  I'm so glad God has given me the chance to be a part of their lives all of these years and watch them grow.  I know that as Melissa gets older, I won't get to spend nearly as much time with her.  I know that the girls will grow out of all of the things we've all loved so much...Harry Potter movies, throwing erasers (ha ha), eating at Golden Corral until we can't move, playing the wii, taking pics for their mom, Emily sitting on my lap...so I'm even more thankful that I got to be a part of today.  I hope Melissa knows just how important she is to me and how very proud I am of her.  I know she's going to do amazing things and I hope that God gives me the chance to be a part of all of those things too.


**Emily, Grammie, and Melissa**

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
