Brianna's parents and grandparents
Our family began a journey fourteen years ago...we weren't sure where we would end up or how long it would last. Now we've come to the end of this journey. On May 30, our youngest child, Brianna, graduated from our home school. It was a bittersweet day for me! Actually, I cried (off and on) throughout the ceremony that we held for her!
We were able to hold her graduation a the church she attends (and also where we used to attend). We invited our family and some of her close friends. The pastor of the church spoke for a few minutes about Brianna and gave her some words of wisdom and then her piano teacher spoke. Her Daddy, the principal of the school, told a little about our homeschooling journey and how blessed we are to have Brianna for our daughter. We played a song that she requested, My Wish, and then presented her diploma. It was a beautiful ceremony focusing completely on her.
We're all so proud of her and can't wait to see what she accomplishes with her life.
So...sadly our homeschooling journey has come to an end, but I know that God will open doors for us to begin something new. I will certainly miss my "job" as teacher, but I know that there will be new jobs around the corner. What? I don't know!
And for Brianna...it's the beginning of many things! She's such a special girl. She's dedicated to God and He will lead her exactly where He wants her.
