No More High School In Our House

I've made school lunches for my kids nearly every day for the last 20 years.  At the end of May, I made the very last one.  It was kinda sad for me.  I wrote about this little act of service back here in 2011.  I'm glad that I could show a little bit of love to my kids while they were growing up by sending them to school every day with good food packaged up by mom.  I'm gonna miss it when September rolls around and there aren't any kids in the house to do this for.

 Our baby Emma graduated from Bingham High School on May 30th.  She graduated in the top 10% of her class of 800!  Because she graduated with a 4.0 she most likely was in the top 5%.  This girl NEVER got even an A- on a report card... EVER! She struggled the last six weeks with serious senioritis and was quite unmotivated to work hard.  It was a bit dicey when it came to her math grade for the last quarter.  But in the end, she pulled it off and received an A grade.  We are so very proud of her and for her perseverance to do her best.  Check out all the cords around her neck that she earned!

I loved seeing all of the school pics of Emma from pre-school through her senior year displayed in our entryway.

Graduation was held on the campus of Utah Valley University.  Emma got to sing in the choir that performed during the ceremony.

And then a week later, Emma participated in the Rushton View Stake seminary graduation.  She completed all four years of seminary.  Way to go Emma!  She has a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and it shines in her countenance everyday.
