Ashley

I just had to find time to brag on my wonderful daughter! She is heading to college this fall and received a full scholarship from the school she is going too and as well got on there Honor's program! She is graduating soon in the the top 10th percentile of her class as well as has a 4.0 GPA. I can not find the words to tell you how proud I am of her. She has been through so much in her lifetime but always finds a way to make things better for herself! Her boyfriend, Brandon, will be leaving soon for basic training for the guards and she did a photography project recently that reflect's how she feels about this and I just want to share the pic's here. She is so talented and I am just not sure where she is getting it from but I can tell you this I am one proud mom!!

Travel...

Well it is again that time in the year when I am off and traveling alot. I have to admit though each year it gets harder and harder. My body just doesn't like it and my heart is always at home with the family. This year we splurged a little and got a laptop and a web cam to take with me and I am looking forward to seeing the family next week when I am gone. I choose the VA Beach area to work in this year and so far it is going well. It is still cold there like it is here but waking up to the sound of the ocean is still a plus! The kids are busy as well this year with them both graduating. David Jr is going into 6th grade next school year and Ashley is heading off to college in August. I am missing there younger years but I have to admit it is great seeing them grow up. I am going to miss Ashley alot when she leaves but I am also very proud of her. She set very high goals for herself and she has made those goals and then some! I can't wait to see what she will accomplish in her life.
