Locked up in my castle
Never been freer.

End of school year!!

5th Grade Graduation Ceremony!

                                      Samantha with her good friends Sarah & Ashley..

                                                    I'm so proud of my girl!!

                                 

Sam with her teacher, Ms. Boyd, and Adams Elementary principal, Mr. Hooper.  

                            I still can't believe it's been six years since she started here as a tiny                                                                                    kindergartener!!

  And then today was Colby's 1st grade class end-of-year celebration.  They sang songs, received awards, and we watched a video presentation of their year in pictures.  Sad to see them grow up so quickly, yet such a sweet reminder to enjoy every little minute while they're little.              
                       

                                Me, Colby, and his 1st grade teacher, Miss Hughes. (she was great!)

Below is a video of Colby receiving the "Mathlete" award, for being so good at all things math.

                      I am so proud of both of my children.  They are such a blessing!!!

p.s.

the darkness is returning.
please pray.
these pills look tempting.

"they"

when they act happy
i feel worse
if they only knew
how i'm dying

i have so much to be thankful for
why can't i just be thankful?

broken hearts are lonely hearts.

when they smile
i want to cry
if they only knew
i don't share that joy
their first glimpse of gain
is my crushed spirit of loss.
