~ Look Out World, Here He Comes! ~

Well, graduation has come and gone, and I can't believe how fast our kids' school years go by. It seems like last week I held Zachary for the first time, and here he is, a high school graduate.

I wasn't prepared for how emotional I would be about the whole affair. I found myself tearing up at random times starting about two weeks before graduation. I guess it didn't help that I made a slideshow of Zack's life from birth through high school to show at his graduation party - those things can rip the guts out of anyone it seems and I know mine were ripped out. I had to watch it about thirty times before I could get through it without crying like a baby.

So Zachary my baby boy, congratulations to you. I am so proud of your success and accomplishments, and I can't wait to see what you will do with the rest of your life, because I know it's going to be something great.

Here's some photos from graduation day. Enjoy.

Zack stops to hug one of his football coaches who he played for all four years.

Zack took his time to really enjoy the moment while he was walking out on the field with his classmates.

Listening to the speaker. I wonder if he remembers what was being said?

Diploma at last!

Last but not least, Zack and proud mama. My cup overflows.
