Caroline's High School Graduation

One More Day of School

One more day to go. Samantha's junior year will come to a close. I don't think she's enjoyed it all that much. I don't think she's learned all that much.

Next year she will have only first semester at the high school. Then she plans to be off on her AFS journey to another country. Her first choice is Ghana in Africa. We've been told that they will send her application out sometime in June or July. I been praying for her future host family wherever they may be, and also for Samantha that everyone involved will be prepared, excited, and blessed for their meeting. I suppose I should be praying for me right? I know it will be hard, but I am so excited for her. She is made for so much more than being in a high school that stands for the "all American" dream. Money, money and more money. She is too grounded and too thoughtful of others to be all about money and letting people know how much you have.

Tomorrow is supposedly my last day at the SubFinder job. Although they don't have a replacement for me yet. I am hopeful that I don't have to continue doing 2 jobs very long. But I guess I will deal with whatever I have to. What's it matter at this point? It's been very uncomfortable at work this week, with my co-workers, that is. But sort of de-ja-vu too. It feels just like it did when the last person left our department. Petty non-sense and just plain meanness. I need some peace in this situation. Looking forward to summer.

It's Prom Day

It's another prom day here in our fair city. This year it's my daughter Sami and our German daughter Caro going to prom. Going with lots of friends, 12 people in the group for dinner at "The Olive Garden". Sami is very excited this year. She's wearing a second hand dress, perhaps from the 70's, I'm not sure since I'm no fashion expert. Very cute, short, white with black polka-dots, frilly ruffles at the bottom. Big circle pearl earrings with matching necklace, pearls, diamonds and black too I think. Caro is wearing the more traditional prom dress, silky brown, long, flowing. The have both been tanning just a little the last 2 weeks and both had their hair done this morning. It's gonna be a long night. Afterprom goes until 5:00 am and Sami has to work tomorrow afternoon. Yuck.

I did take the job I talked about in an earlier post, so hopefully I took the step that God wanted me to take. I realized I had to do something. I love the job, but don't really feel like I fit in with that department. Too many ghosts lurking about.

I finish this job at the end of the school year and begin anew in June. Say a prayer, it should be very interesting.

My oldest daughter, Sarah, drove with her boyfriend Sammy to see family in Ohio. I hope they have good weather for Cedar Point, beaches and a visit to gram and gramp at the campground later in the week.

Well, it's a busy day with prom pictures starting here at 5:00. Gotta go clean the house.
