~Happy Memorial Day~

Happy Memorial Day to all my blogging friends~I hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend!

Ashley graduated from high school on Thursday and it was such a bittersweet moment.  I have been sad, I won't lie....but Ashley has such a bright future ahead and is so excited to move on that I try to be happy for her.  I am going to help her get moved up to Flagstaff tomorrow and I hope we are able to enjoy our time together.  I will keep you posted!

This has been an emotional week for me~Ashley graduating was part of it, but Oprah's last show was Wednesday too.  My mom loved Oprah and watched her everyday.  I have watched Oprah since I was a senior in high school & I feel like she has helped me throughout my married life. Oprah's last 3 shows were wonderful, but the very last one was full of such great advice, I felt she was talking to me.  Everyone wants to feel validated & it is so true, we all need to feel like what we say & do matters.  I'm gonna start adding Oprah quotes to my blog & I hope you enjoy them! =)

Oprah Quote~"Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance"

To my sweet Ashley~ I hope you know how much 'I Love You' and that I am ALWAYS here for you!  You are a WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, KIND, LOVING, SPECIAL woman, whom I'm proud to call my daughter.  Know that you can do anything you set your mind to~'THE SKY IS THE LIMIT'~ and let your Heavenly Father be your best friend, turn to him daily and he will bless you more than you know!

May Madness!

I can't believe it is already May 18th....HOLY COW!!! Ashley has Seminary Graduation and Baccalaureate on Sunday.  Graduation is Thursday May 26th and she leaves to go to NAU on May 31st & she'll be gone til July 6th.  I can't believe she'll be gone soon but THANKFULLY she'll be back July 6th til she leaves in August. 

I will be leaving June 5th til June 25th to take a CNA course in Mesa~I have to have this certification to apply to the nursing program.  Dusty & Hayden will be 'bachelors' for the month of June, I may need a housekeeper! =)

It has been so nice not having homework.....I have gotten some cleaning done on my house that was badly needed.  I love school, but having a break right now is HEAVENLY!! =)
