Next month my baby boy graduates high school
It really does go by very quickly. One day you have a tiny baby. Then it seems like you blink and that tiny baby is all grown up walking across the stage accepting their high school diploma.
In just 5 weeks he graduates
It doesn't seem possible that 18 years have already flown by. I look at my little boy and in my minds eye I still see that little boy who brought more that I could ever image into my world. He has taught me so many things being his mom. I love this kid so freaking much.
my only son is no longer a boy really
He has grown into a young man right before my eyes. Next month he will being a new journey in his life as he will begin the next stages of his life. I look forward to seeing where he will go in life. I am a little sad this part of my journey as a mom is coming to an end with my baby graduating. But I am also looking forward to it at the same time. As I know I have been raising a fine young man.
I booked a location for his open house
We were going to have it here at the new house. But with the prolong winter new grass growth has been slow. We are not sure our yards wouldn't be a mud pit. So we decided to rent a cabin at a local park.
He wants a nacho bar for the food and we are gonna do a candy bar with corny puns. likes corny puns so I thought doing a candy bar and putting labels on glass jars labeling them other things. Like Ring Pops "Class Rings" Smartees "Smarty Pants"
Something like this but customized to candy he likes.
I even got some cool jars for the candy bar
Love my shop your way reward points. The games have saves me a ton of money and I gota bunch of these Jars for the Candy Bar for free using the points I won. I get all kinds of thi gs for free using points but making graduations extra special with small touches for free makes me one happy mom.
When it is all over I am going to focus on discovering my new dreams.
Soon I am going to be focusing more of me and following my own dreams for the next stage of my life. Do I fully know what those are yet? Nope. And I don't need to know what they are all yet. All I have to do is be willing to try new things and embrace those things I enjoy and find I have passion for. But I do know one thing no matter what I end up doing I will always be mom and be there for all three of children.
