The Graduate

Last week was quite the week

it was busy ~ but a good busy

you see this little girl

graduated high school

I won't lie to you ~ it has not been an easy road for this one

and we did not know whether this day would ever come

but she made the decision to go back to school in September

and she stuck to it and made it through

she was actually finished in January after her exams

and said she did it and was not going to bother with prom or graduation ceremonies

I am so glad she changed her mind!

prom was Monday ~ she looked stunning in her shimmering gown

it was navy blue and she had plenty of "bling"

so she shone just like the diamond she is

her boyfriend is pretty handsome too

they had a ball at prom

~*~*~

Thursday night was graduation

I won't lie and will tell you that I had tears in my eyes

I was bursting with pride

and I kinda love that she graduated from the same high school

that I did ~ 31 years ago!

love this shot of the girls with their Dad

and one with Mom

I wrote the following on Facebook when I got home after prom

and posted her pictures

I met this little girl when she was 2 ~ she soon had my heart and became my niece soon after. 

She has grown into a beautiful young woman and seeing her tonight brought tears to my eyes 

and a heart full of love. 

I cannot wait until Thursday night to see her in her cap and gown.

I am so proud of you my Goosey Lucy ~ Love you forever Katrina xoxo

you done good kiddo ~ the sky is the limit

you can do whatever you want

and Auntie Lori gets a 3 year break until the next one
