Nervousness

It is at this moment that I realize that I have no life of my own. Everyone knows that my daughter and I are very close. She will be gone most of the summer attending SLU and Washington University. My baby is really growing up. I am very excited for her and hopeful that this experience will enrich her mind and spirit. However, I am very nervous about not having her around. I don't know what I am going to do in order to entertain myself. Yes, I am aware that this is truly sad. Therefore, I have decided to go back to school to get a 2nd Master's Degree and to strive for attaining National Board Certification. Pray that I am not getting in over my head. I'm excited and nervous.I am asking God for guidance.

Senior Pics

Just picked up A'Kya's seniors pics from Sutberry Photograph. Love them. I am looking forward to showing them off to everyone. It is truly going to be a tough decision trying to decide which ones to purchase. Here's a sample.

Blessing keep flowing!

I am so excited! A'Kya was accepted into St. Louis University's Summer Enrichment Medical Program. Her summer will be full and she will be getting prepared for college. I am so proud of her.

AHS Prom 2009

Kya and Brooke

Kya and Corbin

On Saturday, May 16, 2009 Alton High School had their prom titled 'Cirque Jungle'. A'Kya was so excited about the prom. She had her nails and toes done on Friday night. At 8:00 am Shalon began doing her hair. She was nominated for prom queen so she needed a hair style that she could rock her crown with. She was so excited that she wanted to start getting dress at 11:30. Anyone that knows A'Kya knows that she hates to be late for anything. Her and Corbin went to prom sporting his dad's Infiniti truck. They had dinner at Gentelines in Alton. The prom was held at SIUE and the after prom at Bowl Haven. Yes, I did chaperon. A'Kya didn't win prom queen, but she was so happy for her friend Brooke, (her soccer teams awesome goalie) who did win. I was so proud the way that she handled the loss with grace and class. She congratulated Brooke and told me that she was just happy to be nominated. That's my girl!

Kudos

On Thursday, May 7, 2009, A'Kya was inducted into the National Honor Society. I am so proud of her accomplishment. When she was in elementary school she attended her first graduation. She was full of curiosity and ambition back then. She asked me why some of the kids had on red graduation gowns and why the others wore gray. I explained to her why these young people were fortunate enough to sport the red graduations gowns. She told me right then and there that she was going to graduation wearing a red gown. She has worked so hard throughout her school career. I am happy to see her dream becoming reality.

The Beginning

I first started blogging when I was in Thailand. I never thought of using for personal use until now. Time seems to always be flying by and we often fail to keep in touch with family and friends as much as we would like to. My friend Jaycie has a blog so I decided to start one. I am hoping this will keep family and friends updated on the happenings of the Adams' family.
