this week.

 has been a little crazy but over all good. it started with the decoration of gaylyn's christmas tree. ty, gaylyn, kylie, her boy friend and myself got together and decorated the tree! here are some pics of all of us pitchin in on the tree!!!

the tree, before all the pretty decorations

and the final product!!

not much happened between decorating for christmas and my graduation on dec 10th. just simple preperations for the big day. just so happened to be that the teacher i got my information from for the graduation... doesn't speak very good english! she had told me to be at the school at 6:15 for pictures prior to the actual "graduation." so i wake up my poor tired family and pump us all full of coffee, only to drive up to an empty parking lot. we all panicked, thinking something had gone wrong and we had missed the whole thing. but it turns out that the ceramony wasn't until 7 p.m.! so we got back in the car and drove the 2 miles home. i went right back to sleep and left ty to take care of laylee. since he was undergoing the ultimate in caffine high... he didn't mind.
7p.m. FINALLY rolled around and we made it to the school plenty early! pictures were taken by the tree as we went through the program and got ready to make the big walk.

the intitial walk down the stairs was nerve racking! i couldnt believe how nervous i was to be graduating... even though all the worst parts were over! the pic came out a tad bit blurry... i was practically running past all the strangers to get to my chair!

i was asked to say the prayer. i think i did okay, despite how shaky i was.

during graduation there was a "candle and rose" ceramony. you give the candle to some one you want to finnish their education. i passed my candle to kylie. she has really been struggling to stay in school. i hope the act of giving her the candle will inspire her to stay in school and get her education. the rose is sapposse3d to be given to some one you'd like to thank for being there for you during the difficult times in attaining the education. the rose was of course passed to tyler!

then came the actual graduation! they called me up, and gave me my diploma. i was so excited! i couldnt stop giggling through the whole thing!
