The 2012 Lord Botetourt High School graduating class throwing their caps in the air in celebration! Ashlyn is in that group. I'm not going to lie, it's pretty rough seeing your child graduate high school. I cried at the very beginning when they played Pomp and Circumstance and then not too long after that they began to sing "I Hope You Dance" and then I lost it. That's our song, Ashlyn's and mine. I cried myself out during that, composed myself afterwards, then I was ok the rest of the night. What an exciting time for her and the rest of the graduates!
Has anyone figured out how to slow time down? I'd love to know!
Linking up with Rural Thursday, check it out!
Today is our first official day of summer! I have 4 sleeping kids right now!
Great photo ~ Congrats to the Grads ~ Nope time is like the 'tide' it just keeps moving ~thanks for sharing ~ ^_^ ~ A Creative Harbor
