This Thursday my baby girl will graduate from High School. These last l8 years have been some of the quickest, longest, happiest, saddest years of my life. Amie has rolled with all of it and come out a stronger, wonderful, talented human being. I will miss going to her choir concerts, watching her perform in musicals, and watching her dance. I look forward to having her move in with us, being her as she comes and goes and just being a bigger part of her adult life. She is beautiful and amazing and all of Windrift ward would agree with that. Tanner will be a sophmore next year. Yikes. where did the time go? last summer his glasses flew off his face into the ocean. He was on his super activity. Unfortunatly it happend at the begining of the trip so he didn't see much. His braces were off and now contacts, and grew a few more inches. I took him to mutual and I could here the girls all asking "whos that guy". He is pretty popular with the girls. He is also quite talented. His dad has him taking private cello, and guitar lessons. He can play just about anything you ask him to by ear. I look forward to 3 more years of orchestra concerts. I only have a little more than a week before I hit the big 50. I didn't loose weight like I had wanted to, in fact I gained 20 pounds. Let the summer begin.

For the last 6 months I have been doing "in home care" for Katherine Woods. An 82 years old woman with Parkinson's and dementia. I work 18 hours a day 6 days a week. 8 or more hours are at night time and I can usually sleep through them. It's working out. Amie is so good to come over. I was getting all psyched for her to be gone next year but, it is sounding like she might come live here and go to ASU. That would be awesome.
