Graduation is nothing new to me as I have had three others graduate before Austin but this time it is a much more emotional occurrence. I find that everything I do with Austin is that way, because he is the last. For the past 22 years my life has centered around school, PTA, homework, school projects, soccer, dance, piano, basketball, track, cross country, swimming etc. All of that comes to an end on Thursday and before I know it, Austin will be gone on his mission. Besides Steve, my children have been everything to me and letting the last one go is harder than I thought but let him go I will as he soars onward and upward, just as the others have done while we who are left below wonder what to do with this empty nest. We may be sad for a time, but don't worry, we'll think of something to do ;) (wink, wink)!

I love you Mom! And I know just the thing you can do...come visit me ;) I am really excited for Austin, but I know it will be really hard when he leaves on his mission. Just remember, I am always just a Skype away!
