These are the good times…

They grow too fast. I can remember when my oldest was born…..He was so small and so sick.. I never thought for a day that he would be 6 foot and towering over me…. ever! He graduates HS this year and it has hit is Mommy VERY hard. There are many ‘firsts’ that are happening in our household, and I just want to capture the memories and never let them go.

Last weekend, he attended his SR Prom. He and his date looked awesome. I cried. Graduation announcements were sent out on Monday of that following week. On Tuesday, we visited the Air Force recruiter. Yep, he wants to join the Air Force! I have to say that I had dreaded this visit with the recruiter worse than life itself. But, it was not that bad. Matt still needs to be tested and there is a 4-6 month waiting period to enroll, so I have a few more months to wallow in my own sadness. Kidding!
This past weekend he searched for a full-time job, oh dear. At least that will keep him ‘busy’ until he is able to enlist. I am not sure, but I believe that he is very excited, yet nervous about this whole situation. Time will tell. Until then, I will just enjoy him being here. If given the choice, I would chose for both of them to stay home with me FOREVER! But, I can’t be selfish like that… so, I must let them fly……

‘Tinkerbell’, as she is now affectionantly called, is doing well. She is looking forward to a challanging summer. This coming weekend she will swim an open water. Yep, I get to put her in a van and won’t see her until Sunday…..WHOOOP! If she can get over the feeling that every body part hurts….she will live to be a wonderful adult, eventually.
