Didn't she just start kindergarten???

Every once in awhile something happens that makes me step back and realize how fast time is flying by. I've had some of those moments in the last couple weeks. Blake had her promotion dance on May 8th. First it's hard for me to imagine that she's done with middle school and second I couldn't believe how grown up she looked after she finished getting ready. Wow, I think I'm going to be in trouble once she starts high school. No dating until she's married, at least that's what her Uncle and Joni keep telling me. I eventually got over the dance, just in time for her graduation ceremony. Again, she looked so grown up. I fought back the tears, I'm sure I'll have plenty in four years when she graduates from high school. At the rate things are going that will feel like a week from now! We had a great time at the ceremony and a really nice dinner together afterwards. Spending time with the whole family is always on the top of my list, especially when it involves celebrating and lots of laughter. Even though she's starting high school in the fall, she's still my baby. I wanted to post a picture from her first day of kindergarten but I knew she'd kill me! I love you more than I can say Blake, I am so proud of the person you are now and I am excited to watch you grow into the amazing woman I know you will become! You're going to do great in high school, you better :)
