this spring and headed off to college next fall. That's it...no more secondary school, no more going to track meets, no more open houses, no more SAT's, no more school fees or college planning and so on and so on. Whew, thank God we're done with that! Deep down inside I'll miss it though. My husband and I have been preparing for this since they were babies, lol! But now that it's here, I'm feeling some kind of way y'all. Pray for me.... You see, I officially became a SAHM when Blake was born. So when he goes off to college, it'll be a big change for sure. But I think I'll be ready for it though! Now that this chapter is closing in our lives...I just may take that trip to Paris', oui oui!

Congratulations on raising three beautiful souls and my prayers are with both you and your precious son as he sets his sails onward- into adulthood!!!! WOOHOO!!!! You did it mama!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Blake! It's an exciting and scary time, Michell. I still have 3 at home, but my oldest is in college. It seemed like I cried his entire senior year. I was so full of pride for all that he had accomplished. We all will be praying for a smooth transition for both of you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Blake! What a handsome son you have! Congrats on all your fantastic adults! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son Michell and my best wishes to him as he is now officially an adult. I hope you get to go to Paris. My mom wanted to go to Paris when she finished high school but didn't. After having children she suddenly developed a fear of heights. The big change I am hoping for in the future is good health. I have made a lot of changes and it is certainly helping me towards that goal. Thanks for hosting and my best wishes to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAs I read your wonderful post about your son becoming a man, I'm yelling at my First Grader to finish his homework. LOL. Ohhh so much to look forward to. Congratulations on this milestone for your family. I'm linking up the completion of my bedroom closet organization and Facebook Time Saver Tools. I'm doing well this Wednesday because I finished the final touches for our Christmas tree. I'm looking forward to more productive activities this week. Thanks, Michell!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Blake! 18 years old... Seems like the years just go by faster and faster after high school and college! Hope you guys had a great time celebrating! Big changes for us... Well we're heading to NYC this weekend! It's big for us because its Matt's first time! Should be lots of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michell, hope your week is going well. I have had this heartache realizing even though I don't want more kids, that I'm not gonna have anymore. My youngest just turned 2 and I find myself sad. I see pregnant women and I long for that. Then a few moments later when my 2 year old is throwing a tantrum I remember that we can't wait for them to move out. I guess as they grow each stage is a little bittersweet? Happy birthday to your son. And congratulations to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. I know he was raised right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for everything you do.
I'm not far behind you, Michell! I'm both happy and sad about it… but staying open to what lies ahead:) Blessings and happy birthday to your son!
