She Did It!


I cannot even begin to describe the emotional rollercoaster that I have been on the past five days. Paul & I left San Diego at 0700 pacific time Wednesday and 32 hours later we arrived in Smyrna. During that trip we only slept a few hours each. The road trip in its self is worthy of a blog entry, but I am trying to beat Crystal and Gwen to the punch here, so time is of the essence! Anyway, first thing we did was give Tori her graduation present...she was so happy! Then, Friday, she signed with King College and I don't think I have ever been so proud of her. That night we treated some special friends and family to dinner, for everything they have done for Tori in the past year. Saturday, she had a hair appointment and we prepared for the graduation ceremony. The ceremony was great and I want to thank everyone for coming, it meant a lot to us. Then Tori heads out to the party and I hug her bye...again... and pack for San Diego. She has honored every promise she made, she made wise choices (except that once :), she improved her GPA dramatically and she accepted her scholarship. We are so proud, I love and miss her more than you can imagine.
