Graduations galore

There were lots of high school graduations going on this past week.  We had five girls from the Hall that graduated...sigh.  Time flies by so quickly!  I remember most of them when they were little.   One of the graduates was Aleshya who was in my Sunday School class when she was five years old.  In the area that she comes from, there aren't a whole lot of people who graduate from high school so this was a monumental event and I was so proud that she stuck it out and finished school.  She invited me to her graduation because she considers herself one of my adopted nieces and I was so happy to go : - )

We also held a Grad Banquet at the Hall.  One of the girls couldn't make it but there were four girls that we celebrated with.

 My niece, Karissa, was one of the graduates.  It is hard to believe that I once held her as a little baby and now she is just an amazing young woman.  If you can't tell, I am one proud 'auntie'!!
