So, Matt & I officially have a high school graudate in our midsts. On Saturday, May 23rd, our oldest K graduated from Brewster Academy. It was an overcast day & it was quite cold at the school. I'm thankful that the ceremony took place in the athletic center. The luncheon on Brown Field was a bit cold thanks to the proximity to Lake Winni. But, otherwise it was a very nice day. We got lots of pictures & even managed to get all the cousins (minus LC) in a pic together. Mom was finally able to be in a pic w/ K too.
On Thursday, May 21st was K's senior prom. We arrived at the boathouse on campus to take pics of her & all her friends. I loved the dress she wore-made by Laurie. The color was great on her. K's date Andy was a nice young man. They had a wonderful time at Bald Peak Country Club. Afterwards they went back to Brewster and had pancake breakfast made by the teachers & their senior slide show. I think they got to bed around 2am-all sleeping at Hilary's house. I know we got a lot of pics that night too. My memory card was full by the time K & Andy got to the arbor for pics. Oh well.
The future-what will it really hold for my little girl, my oldest child.....
In August she'll pack up all her belongings & we'll drive her to MD where she'll begin her freshmen year at Loyola University Maryland. She goes to this school like she did Brewster-not knowing anyone. (Although, at Brewster she knew Andrea from camp-but camp world is different from the real world.) I know she'll make friends & have many opportunities that she wouldn't have had if she went somewhere else. It was a blessing that Loyola took her off the wait list & offered her a financial aid package that she couldn't refuse. Thinking ahead to August brings tears to my eyes, but they're tears of happiness because this is what Matt & I have wanted for her since her birth.....a future rich in experiences with good friends and family always by her side to support her in any decisions she has to make.
