Even Harder to Believe...

What's even harder to believe is that Blake is a senior. Most know that this marriage was never alone! It's always been Me, Curt, and Blake. It's hard to believe that just a few short years ago we were in Pullman watching our little man play basketball games on a playskool plastic bball hoop in our living room. Or, that it seemed like yesterday he was running out telling us and cousin Angela that he had hair on his balls (this is a true story). Well, this is the firsts of the lasts...last first day of school, last year of Summer basketball, last school pictures, last high school basketball game, last Spring break, last Christmas as a kid, last Homecoming, last Prom, last birthday before an adult, last....ok Im going to stop now because I am literally getting sick.

Curt and I were talking about this and both of us were speechless....just thinking about it. When we have the boys, as babies, watching them grow up, doing the things we think is best for them, making those decisions necessary as time comes....and never stopping to consider that they will be on their own, having families of their own, making own decisions, careers, babies...!!! Now, all of that will be starting for our baby boy! It's all too fast and I couldn't be more proud, scared, anxious, happy, fulfilled, hopeful, etc. etc. So many mixed feelings.

He's a working man now....so naturally, having to be responsible for his own gas, he decided to purchase himself a moped. They call themselves the "silver back scooter gang" One thing that will never change, I will ALWAYS enjoy my boy...he's the best.

I'm happy for the moments where I see Blake as my baby boy and now as he reaches those milestones...
