Our beautiful graduate!

CONGRATULATIONS JAEL!!!!

With her going back and forth from Seattle to Montana I was afraid her high school credits were going to get screwed up.  But they figured it out and she has already made enough credits to graduate! How cool is that?  Only 16 years old! I am so excited and happy for her!  Next she is going into the YWAM program (Youth With a Mission).  She's got some plans going and I know Andrew totally supports whatever she does.  Jael has put performing her music on the back burner for now. She is still planning on writing songs.  I love her music. I love her. She's like a daughter to me. Very special young lady. Loves the Lord! This song is one she posted a while ago....she still had braces then. It is called Stay. Good song!!!

And here is her professional video she made after braces were removed called Everything I Need...about a friend going through depression :

Andrew will be going to Running Start next year and start his college education early.  Very proud of him.  He is so smart and amazing for his age.  God has really blessed him with some wisdom and love.

Karla and her family just got back from California last night. She called this morning and it sounds like they had a great time! It was Maddie's first time in a plane. It wasn't as cool as she thought it was going to be. lol!  Their cat sure missed them! Of course.

Speaking of cats....we took KitKat to Petco to get his shots. We were in line for 1 and 1/2 hours before he got to have his shots. My back was pretty bad by then. Lauren's knee hurt. Papa's knee's hurt. But we got 'er done!  Now we go back next month for a booster. It was only $50. The shots did affect him. So I am not sure if it was an allergic reaction or if he just was exhausted.  Sandy dog was here so that freaks him out a bit. He is afraid of her and he goes into hiding and always aware of what is going on around him. Plus he was awake the whole time in his cat carrier with all dogs around him (in the shopping cart....double protection). So he was awake several hours counting the trip there too.  Plus the stress.  He slept all day and night....but more the next day after Sandy left.  He didn't play or bite or any of his normal stuff. But now he is back to normal. Maybe a little more affectionate with Papa than before....he still ignores me most the time. lol!
Today Mr. Morrison is 12 years old and still acts like a kitten.  The young lady who has him is so in love with him.  Perfect match.  Here is when he was still mama's cat.

Found out a few weeks ago my niece is having a baby.  My sister's first grandchild.  NOW she will know what I've been talking about! lol!  I had to keep it a secret but the mommy posted it on facebook. Yay!
Another niece is engaged and super duper happy.  Sometimes it is so strange to think about how life just goes on and on and on.  Whether you are here or not, it still goes on for everyone else.

I am excited for tomorrow! I am meeting Marcey in the morning for coffee.She is the one who hired me at the Preschool. So I am excited for that time. She has become such a dear friend to me. I love her.

Stew leftovers for dinner tonight. I love leftovers.  Some people absolutely hate them.  I think some food is better warmed up the second time. But some things like eggs would be gross.

Hope the rest of your week is good to you! God's blessings on you and yours!!!
