The One Where They Became Juniors

May 25-28, 2018
Memorial Day Weekend

MAN!  I cannot get over how FAST time is flying these days!  Killing me!  So, now, they are both done with sophomore years of high school.  Emma was out a week or so before Lara, and Lara finished up this past Friday.  Plus, they both started new summer jobs.  This is the second summer Emma has worked somewhere; it's the first for Lara.  Emma is living in Ponca City with her grandpa Bruce and working with him at the NAPA store in Newkirk - among other wild and totally Emma things.  Lara is working every other week in Stillwater as a summer Nanny for a family with 3 young kids.  Totally up her alley - even if she did get a pretty pink sunburn on her first day!

So, last weekend.  Again, went too fast.  Didn't see any Emma.  Tried to cram in all the things.  Ended up happy, tired, and not ready for the week to start.

Lara went to a Class of 2018 high school graduation party for her friend Jake G.  Then we went as a family to SHS graduation at Gallagher Iba Arena.  Partly to see her friends graduate, but mostly to see Dr. Bob and hear him give the commencement speech!  It was SO VERY LONG!  But a fun event.  Then, Saturday she went with us to watch Jake play basketball!

Emma was working and running all over North Central Oklahoma taking care of her horses, her grandma Karen, her house while her Dad and Step-Mom are out of town, and living her new life in Kay County!  WHEW!

But, we did get to see her Tuesday night.  She had to come to Orlando to take care of her horses, so she drove on in to Stillwater for free food to see us.  She and Lara both look rough after long days at work, but I made them pose for a picture!  #GoodMom

This week will go by just as quickly.  There's no stopping it, right?
