Good Monday morning, friends! ♥
It's a coffee on the deck kind of morning. I'm sipping away watching the birds. I know I have a busy day ahead of me, and this is a nice way to begin.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was another busy one for us as we prepare for John's graduation in just a few days. Thank you to all who reached out to and left lovely comments about my last post. I'm realizing that feeling sad is normal. I had a good cry with Rob on the phone on Saturday and after that I felt much better. I said how sad I am that things are changing and how life is "so different now." One thing about me...I hate change. He understands that and gave me the pep talk I needed. He told me all things that I already know. Yes, things are different, but that doesn't mean it's bad. So much good is yet to come. And adult John is so much fun (and just as wonderful as baby John), which so many of you shared with me too. Adult kids are awesome in so many ways. I started decorating for the party, ordered the cake, and started to feel excited again. I can do this! (she said to herself in a questionable voice...:) My mom always told me that I'm stronger than I think I am. Maybe she was right about that.
Anyway, on to happier things. Friday night was the prom! John and his beautiful date, Liliah, had a wonderful time! They were blessed with great weather too! Nice and sunny!
Do they look lovely?! She's a doll too! ♥
John opted to wear a suit instead of a tux, which some kids do nowadays.
Who knew?! ♥
They met at another friend's house to take pictures. One of the moms sent me this.
I think they all look amazing! ♥
The class meets at the school and they have a "red carpet" situation before boarding coach buses to take them to the venue.
I think it's great because no one has to drive.
A moment for the tie... Yup, that's Elvis (of course!) ♥
He has a collection of different ones that he got from his uncle and fellow Elvis enthusiast.
They come out on special occasions!
They had a great time! I was so happy for him! ♥
It will be a busy week with more activities as we count down to graduation on Saturday.
My mom's roses and peonies have started blooming and I think that's a sign that she's watching over us.
Hi Mom! ♥
I hope you all have a happy Monday! I'm going to pour another cup of coffee, get dressed, and get some work done.
I hope the sun is shining on you today. Can you believe it's June already?! ♥
XOXO
Oh, prom night is such a huge event in a youngsters life. John looks smashing in his suit and his date is a cutie. Mom, you can do this! I know you are prouder than punch and you will continue to be as he goes through each door of his life.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to John (& you Momma) on another milestone! Another big one to come. It is so bittersweet - but yes, so much good to come too. They looked so adorable for prom and I LOVE John's tie!! Love the sign from your Mom too. 💗
ReplyDeleteBlessings always Dearest and big hugs too. xoxo
What a beautiful couple. They looked fabulous. His tie is way cool!
ReplyDeleteYou hit this Momma! It will be fun to watch each oh his milestones.
And yes your Mom is watching over!
Happy June!
Happy June, dear friend! John looked so handsome, and his date so beautiful, for the prom! I know they had a great time. Sometimes, a good cry and maybe some chocolate are all that is needed to make us feel better! And I know you're missing your mom, too. I'd always feel so much better after talking things over with my mom. She was so uplifting and encouraging. And your mom was so right! You are so much stromger than you think you are.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally published before I was finished! Anyway, enjoy this week leading up to John's graduation. I know it'll be a very special day, and I look forward to hearing all about it. And your mom's roses and peonies are so gorgeous. It's definitely a sign she's watching over you and your family.🩷🩷🩷
