Surprises are Awesome

Woohoo ~ our surprise birthday get together for my Dad was fabulous!  He had no idea when he walked in Saturday morning.  All his daughters (4) were there, his wife, his two sisters and we were able to skype with his brother.  What a great time was had by all ~ fellowship and food.  The weather was a bit crazy, rain and wind pretty much the whole time I was there (Wed-Mon).  My aunt was able to catch this picture on Saturday!

My Precious Bundle

Twenty-three years ago on Thursday, December 13, 1990 at 2:02 p.m. the Lord blessed me with a 3lbs. 1oz. precious bundle of joy!  Happy Birthday to my daughter.  She has been and continues to be a source of joy in my life.

Gonzaga

My daughter has now confirmed her acceptance into Gonzaga University for Fall, 2011.  Right on!  I am one proud mom.  She is transferring from a 2 year college and is currently debt-free.  I am very impressed with her motivation, thoughtfulness and persistence in moving her education forward.

She just finished finals and is on spring break.  After Spring quarter, she is even taking a class in the summer to get a bit ahead of the game for next school year.  She has chosen to live at home and I am all for that.  It is easing me into the "empty nester" season of life.  Even though she is living here, she is busy with school, work and her boyfriend.
