Graduation :)

Hello, everyone! :)

I'm officially graduated!!!! Yippee!!

This experience was probably the best ever.

My grandpa and step-grandma (from Cali) came out to see me. My uncle Dennis and his wife came out from IN also. And my uncle John and aunt Cecilia threw me a graduation, family party(so, basically like a mini family reunion/grad party :P). So, that was a lot of fun. They had fireworks and balloons and everything. Pretty cool.

If any of you are planning on graduating next year, be prepared for an exhausting day!

Friday was graduation. Rehearsals lasted what seemed like forever. But it was good because I met a lot of people and saw friends I haven't in ages!

It sure is a blessing to be homeschooled and I am so glad that God directed my parents to do so. What a blessing.

Trent Franks addressed the evening. So cool! He said that "For the record, my wife and I do plan on homeschooling our twins when the time comes". :D The whole night over all was...awesome!

This chapter in my life is now over. But my journey is just beginning.

I wish I could elaborate it all in detail but that would take hours and be about 467461567685453pags long. :P

A few grads that were graduating this year that a few of you know(or, knew):
Emily Kelley,
&
Megan Eaton
Total amount of graduates - 154!

It is late. I should be going now.

Random Fact: I met a girl at graduation that has the same last name as I do!

Verse: 2Timothy 1:7 "For God gave us a spirit not of fear - but of power and love and self-control".

God Bless,
Mandie

  2. Sadie!!
    Thanks, I did have a great time!:)
    Yeah, it is pretty neat!
    I miss you too! Church just is NOT the same. Actually, I haven't been for a few weeks. But when I do get to go, it just is not the same at all. Miss and love you! I hope you have a blessed rest of the week, as well!

  3. Mandie! Oh my goodness! YES! I remember you!! And you know what? When I came across your blog - I thought to myself 'Gee, the title of this blog is way familiar.' And I couldn't for the life of me, remember where I knew it from. BUT it's HSB!! TOO COOL! Remember when we were sending messages back and forth for quite a while on homeschool blogger? We were living in KY then - now we're in Indiana and I'm working full time at the Creation Museum in northern KY. I really appreciate you praying for my family - we really, really need it right now. That means a lot that you're praying for us. We really need to see God's hand work in a mightily way this coming week, and I know He's going to come through! He's faithful!! I'd love to get to know you (all over again!!)...if you want to email me you can - tessasilvas@gmail.com. Or there's always my blog! Comments are awesome any time! ;) I hope you are doing well, and enjoying the summer so far. I still can't believe we met up this way - how on earth did you find my blog? Was it though HSB? Do you have a profile on Homeschool Alumni? I'm on there - look me up if you have one! Really looking forward to talking to you!!!!! Blessings friend, Tessa
