Not Yet...But Soon....

We have been waiting for a house and hopefully we have found one :)
If the deal goes well we will be moving in roughly 2weeks or less.
Packing has been chaotic and kids have been crazy but we will have it figured out soon.
Set backs have been preventing us from moving thus far and hopefully our luck has change :)

House fell through so now back to house hunting....

Sorry it has been a while but between kids school ending on Friday and graduation, packing, and now back to house hunting I have had a hard time getting on to blog.

I will try to keep posting as much as I can to keep it updated.

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.

Amber-Lee, Raymond Sr. (Amber-Lee's Grandfather, her dad's dad), Kaylynn (Amber-Lee's cousin in back, one of her dad's sister's kids, Debbie (Amber-Lee's Grandmother, her dad's mom), Joyce (Amber-Lee's Great Grandmother, her dad's mom's step-mother), Kaylee (Amber-Lee's cousin, one of her dad's other sister's kids and Aunt -Debbie adopted her), Rick Foor (Amber-Lee's dad's best friend here in Cadillac, MI), Raymond III (Amber-Lee's oldest brother), and Ralph (Amber-Lee's youngest brother). Not pictured is mom/me who is behind the camera and dad who is working in Colorado and could not get back for it as it was held on a Tuesday evening.

Amber-Lee and me her very proud mother.

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. :)

My Daughter is going to make it!!!

From the looks of things my daughter has her in class classes done and passed and her online classes will be done before the weekend is over so that she can take her last tests on Monday.

Yeah!!! Woo Hoo!!! She will be walking in the Graduation ceremony. :) We are so proud of her!!!!

She will have to finish up an English credit but they are working with her on that one. Since she will be done on Monday and since there is still several weeks of school left she will have most if not all of the school day to work on it and she may have it knocked out for the most part before school gets out, though they will let her finish it, she may not have to do summer school to finish that last one for her diploma. :)

She has been hauling butt on those online classes to get them finished up in time, staying up late at night. She pushed herself so hard the other day that she fell asleep with the laptop still on and logged in but I went on to see how many she got done that day and between the ones she was able to do at school and what she was able to get done at home, she finish over 30+ assignments, quizzes, reviews, projects, and tests (which can only be done at school of course).

Crunch Time!!!!!

My daughter is a senior in high school and it is now crunch time for exams before they can see who will have their credits to graduate. :P Luckily some of her classes are online ones and she can work on them at home too. She is hauling but here and locking herself in her room so as to not be distracted. You go girl! I am so proud of her. She even to on extras this trimester to make sure she has all of her requirements done. She will be one of the few students to graduate with more credits then she needs to but she fell a little short on her requirements, hence the reason for the extra classes. But she is doing it, she should have them all done in time at this pace, and then some. :) Now if I can ever get this packing done :/
