Milestones

When I think about milestones in my life there are many that come to mind, some you don't remember like learning to walk or your first words these are things that your parents remember. But the ones that you remember the most I think are learning to tie your shoes, riding a bike, learning to swim, able to stay at home alone, driving a car and graduating from high school. You remember these because they represent independence. Independence is what we all strive for when we are young. But once you have reached that point in your life there is more to come, college graduation, first jobs, marriage, the birth of your own children and finding the love of your life. For me I have reached all of these milestones and now I am experiencing all of these again through the lives of my children. It is an amazing feeling and brings a whole new prospective.

And most recently Jason's graduation from Gonzaga University.


I am happy and content, but always looking forward to the next milestone!

  2. I feel lucky, because I also got to experience many of those milestones with your kids...especially Jay. Do you remember trying to teach them to ride bikes and the first experiences at the pool? I especially like that our daughters got the gardening bug...their excitement rubs off on me:)
