Family Time

I have not taken the time to write for a long time and actually I'm not going to take a long time now. Two recent events are prominent in my mind and both would take pages to adequately describe.

First, on Memorial Day weekend we took a family vacation to South Dakota. It was awesome! It was beautiful, fun, relaxing, and we enjoyed getting away and being in each others' company. All of us enjoyed it. We stayed in Hot Springs where we went to a water park, visited a mammoth site, and played mini golf. We also drove to Custer State Park and Mount Rushmore. I don't know that it could have been much better!

This past weekend was graduation. I'm not sure I could find words to describe how I feel. It's been a mixture of pride, fear, relief, and sadness. We want our children to grow up, but then there's sadness when they do. MJ will not be moving away and will go to LCCC here for a while so that should lessen my sadness right? The day went very smoothly and we had a party after for MJ and his friend. It was a good day, but I think I'm still recovering from it all.
