Wordless Wednesday – Cap and Gown #ww

This is what is happening tonight. My first born is graduating from high school! *tears* I know I haven’t been around much on the blog or online. Graduation is really getting to me! It’s so hard to see him in this cap and gown and I can barely believe that my son is no longer a high school student! He has been accepted to our local college, he has received just about enough in grant money to pay for his first year of tuition. Today just marks a new chapter in all of our lives!

Last Wednesday, Tom also graduation from Vo-Tech school where he has been studying Art & Design for business. These are so blurry because I was trying to clap and shout and take photos at the same time :)

It’s been a long road and while we have had our struggles as a family over the past year — life is going to be okay! I just know my son will succeed at whatever he chooses to do in life. We are so very proud of you Thomas!
