Graduation time!!

This year I have a college graduate & a preschool graduate!  I am so proud of both of them in different ways!  I have tears of joy and sadness as I watch them both grow up, one into a career woman & the other into a full time student.  I am crying as I write this because I know that my time with both is limited everyday.  I love watching them grow and learn new things daily but I wasn't prepared to let go!  Jordan is an adult now, I probably will never really get this, as I will always think of her as my baby girl.  Maximus will start making more and more friendships and eventually want to spend the night out, oh my!!  I will cry just like I did the first time Jordan went on a sleepover!  Being a mom is by far the hardest thing I've ever done & it doesn't get easier...

Anyway, I am so proud of my graduates!  Big & little they both have accomplished so much! Maximus knows The Pledge of Allegiance, he can say the Lord's Prayer, he can write letters and numbers and his name!  This is just a few of what he has learned in the past year.  Jordan now has a BA with a double major, she broke two school records and left her mark at Wittenberg which I knew she would.  She has accepted a job that she is excited about!  She is moving in with her boyfriend & I couldn't be more happy about this!  I am so excited for her and so proud of her, I cannot wait to see what the future brings to her!  

In a few weeks Maximus will have his graduation ceremony and Jordan will be home, well Vegas home anyway.  I will cherish every single second of those days!

I am feeling so emotional right now....happy, sad, scared, relieved, excited.

Congratulations to my babies!  I am so proud to be your mom!

My advice to those reading....hug your kids, kiss them so much they want to run away, watch them play, take a gazillion pictures, be their friend, be proud of them, tell them you love them everyday!  

I am sad that Jordan has chosen to stay in Ohio but I am so proud that she is independent enough to make such a decision.  

JORDAN, YOU AMAZE ME AS ALWAYS & I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS & SUCCESS!  LUV LUV <3 <3 -mom

MAXIMUS, YOUR FUTURE IS BRIGHT AND as you say... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD! i love you more-mom
