Today is too special not to start a blog.

I often look at the blogs of my friends & think it's so neat. I just never take the time to sit & do one. Today, oh today is different. I had to start one on this day. My 16-year-old daughter is graduating from high school today. I just cannot believe it. When she graduated from Seminary on Sunday I realized how hard today was going to be. Many days she drives me up one wall & down the other. She knows it. It's NO secret people. BUT, I love her all the same!

You always wonder how this day will feel. Well, right this minute I am just feeling like my little girl isn't so little anymore. When she started college the day before her 16th birthday you would have thought I would have looked at her as if she was growing up. But I didn't. One day she was in 10th grade & the next she was finishing up her junior & senior years of high school as a freshman in college. How did this happen??? How did she skip two years of high school? Can someone tell me why I said yes to this? What was I thinking? I'll tell you what I was thinking. I always thought Angelia could do anything she set her mind too. She is a smart young woman & so head-strong that I knew she could do it. Now that she has actually done it though...........I just don't know what to say. Tonight, I guess I'll just bring lots of tissues.

I love you Angelia!
