Tears, Tears, and even more Tears.....but all good ones!

What a whirlwind weekend!
It started Thursday evening with Tyler's first performance of "The Christmas Carol". Tyler played Ebeneezer Scrooge. He was wonderful. So, I cried. Tears of pride.
As soon as the play ended, Shelby called my cell phone to tell me that she and Blake were no longer "friends". They are engaged. She has a ring. Tears again. Can my sweet little daughter be old enough to get married?

Friday morning brought the graduation of Blake, my soon-to-be son-in-law. Blake, honey, it is not too late to run from this nutty family!!!! When the music began, tears streamed down my face AGAIN! Sometime in the coming year, we should have two more college graduations to attend----right, Ash???? right, Shel??? Of course we will also have the 2 high school graduations for Tyler and Jami! My poor hormones will be on overload!!! I will need stock in Kleenex!

Friday evening brought another performance of Ty's play......and it was even better than the night before. So, guess what, more tears! This time they were for Scrooge, when he realizes all the things he had done to others and vows to be a better person....it was awesome.

Saturday evening, we had Blake's Mom and Step Dad(Karen & Johnny) for dinner, they flew in from Texas for the graduation. No tears this time, just an entertaining evening.

Sunday ended with the last performance of The Christmas Carol....this time many more tears. The culmination of an emotional weekend.....and possibly the best performance of the Palatka High School Musical Theater I have seen. Incredible.

All good tears, though. What a blessing.
Hope you all have a great week.....
Laura
