our firstborn graduated on monday, june 8.
there were 590 or so students in her graduating class.
it was hot (by pennsylvania standards), and held on the football field.
it lasted only 1 hour 45 minutes.
not bad.
coming in with her class.
she was in row 14 on the left side.
they only gave us 3 tickets, so haley was the one who got to come.
bffs
this is only 1/4th of the students
her best friend from church, kara
really excited for that diploma!
she had no idea who this man was.
we are so proud of her.
we are so proud of her.
though i must admit....after 10 years of homeschooling, our blood/sweat/tears intermingling to achieve the goal.... it felt a bit like a 9 month difficult pregnancy, only to give the baby up for adoption. probably a really poor analogy, but painful nonetheless.
as a wise homeschooling friend reminded me, at least she has a diploma that will never be questioned.

Wow. What a moment for you. I can't imagine. Congratulations to her, but most of all to you... you've sacrificed more than she'll ever know to give her an incredible childhood/education. I'm proud of you, Jodi.
