Nicole's Almost HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

2008 was her yr! She worked her BOOTY off .. not that you can tell .. .LOL but she fell 5 credits short and therefore the district would not let her walk. She however started the yr with a .066 gpa and finished the yr with a 3.0 gpa and had a baby .. not baby! All her hard work didn't go unrewarded ... she might not have walked and recieved her offical diploma but my sister and her husband gave her a party. Her Dad flew in from Texas, her aunt and uncle and cousins drove in from Colorado, friends drove down the mountain and from the beach and everywhere in between to celebrate what was a great effort!

We all caught up on good times and old times and talked about where you had come and where you are going ... The flash bulbs didn't stop ... there were more cameras at this event than most that i can remember!
This is JOSH .. i have been around since he was born ... damn i am old as i have been around since Nicole was born ...

Nicole you might not have taken the mighty walk across the stage but you happily adorned the cap and gown and in 6 weeks when you finish the last 5 credits your diploma will be yours and you will know that you you earned it! Aaron was your significant other during your senior yr! We all gathered around the kitchen to listen to Diane award your efforts with a testimate from the heart!

No one fought harder for you than your uncle eric .. he spent many days on the phone with anyone he could think of to get permission for you to walk across the stage!

Uncle Erics song to you is sung by Rascal Flatts and goes something like this:

My Wish"

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,And each road leads you where you want to go,And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.And if one door opens to another door closed,I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile

But more than anything, more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,All the ones who love you, in the place you left,I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,And you help somebody every chance you get,Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,You never need to carry more than you can hold,And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,Yeah, this, is my wish.
