She did it!

My daughter walked at her graduation ceremony today.
The first one in several generations on her father's side to do so.
We are all very proud of her.

She was also awarded the Principles Award metal for being an outstanding role model in the classroom  (helping others, excelling in class, and setting a good example for the other students).

She did it!!!

My High School Graduate :) and her proud brothers.

Her oldest brother will be getting his GED this summer and the youngest is in the 7th grade going into 8th this coming August.

A very proud Grandfather who was starting to tear up as he saw his Granddaughter be the first out of several generations on their side to graduate high school. :)

These are some of my favorites out of the shots we took for her to choose from for senior pictures. :)
