Last night was Senior Night for Frances' Marching Band. I got to go, and was able to (finally!) get pictures of her in her uniform.
This is the child who HATES to have her picture taken.
Mom pinning on her corsage.
All 16 seniors in the band.
The seniors (Frances is on the very left with crutches!) with their Director, Mr. Tim Rossettini.
I am so very proud of Frances! With each student, they read off where they wanted to go to school, and what they planned to do afterwards...of the 16 Seniors, she was the only one planning to go to a Christian school, and she specifically said she wanted to go the mission field.
As a little girl I dreamed of doing many different things.
I wanted to be a nurse, a teacher, a veterinarian, a ballerina, and always a mom.
As a mom, I have done so many of those things, in some form or another. I homeschooled my children for 4 years. I am nurse to my children and husband. I am a closet veterinarian for our animals. I dance my way through each day, and though it may not look to others like ballet, I know the complicated twists and twirls that are required to make it through.
Now, I've FINALLY figured out what I REALLY want to be when I grow up. I have actually known for a while, but now that my children are getting older and our financial situation is a little more secure, and my husband has figured out what HE wants to do with the rest of his life....NOW I can start working on what I want to do.
