Happy Graduation!!!!

So today was Ivy Graduation!! I worked so I could see all of my students on their special day! Since I am a loser or maybe just blind? I was unable to find ANY of my tadpoles afterwards. I don't know where they were hiding but I saw no one. SO Please picture all of the students above in their graduation finery posing at Elliot with yours truely. :)

I was kind of bummed not to find any of them BUT I was able to see all of them marching in! I doled out hugs and high fives and it was really cool! I had to work at not crying but I admit I did get a little tear in my eye! Pomp and Circumstance always does that to me! And to think that all these people who I've watched grow for the past year and a half are leaving me, sadness! But I'm so happy for them and the rest of my students for sticking it out and kicking some major academic butt!!
I learned that my camera does not to well in low light so this is the only picture from inside.
I had given up on finding anyone and was leaving pretty bummed when the heavens opened and angels sang and I ran into my My Muy Caliente!! I was sooooo happy to see her and get my picture taken with her! I asked her if she heard me owww owwww as she walked across the stage. she did :) which was impressive since i was about 5 rows from the back. What can I say? Good lung power!
She looked so beautimus and so happy and relieved! I don't blame her!! I have to brag on her some more, she is the first in her family (i believe) to graduate college! And she has done it while being a Mom to a 13 yr old Son and a 2 yr old Daughter! All while she takes care of every single member in her extended family. I thought it was very fitting that she was graduating on Mother's Day because she is pretty danged awesome and her whole family should celebrate her and her success!!

Congratuations class of 2011!!! You did it!! I'm so proud of each and every one of you and I'm going to miss y'all!!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
