You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Honor Roll award. Manufacturing Technology medal and Distinguished Reader award.

I am SO proud of her!

When they called the award for honor roll for the whole 8th grade year I was shocked. In 7th grade she had a rough time. She pulled it together in her 8th though!

The ManTech teacher came up and I knew she had to get something because the class required only 3 things and I think she doubled that because she had so much fun creating things with her hands and working with the machines.

Distinguished Reader…LOL! Thank you Hunger Games series! She asked me, “you think they will have a quiz for The Bloggess book?” Uh, NO. Didn’t stop her from reading the whole thing.

Today was a great day for her. I’m so impressed with the accomplishments all of my girls have gotten in the past few years. They are stronger than I could have hoped for!
