My cousin Mayci is graduating from high school today. At 11:00 she'll be all dressed up in her cap and gown and marching into the Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds. She'll be surrounded by her friends. She will be smiling her beautiful smile. Our family will be beaming with pride. (And no... for all of you wondering... I'm not in Florida. We couldn't swing another trip just yet. So... I'm missing it. Someone better be taking pictures!!!)It is VERY hard for me to believe she is graduating from high school since she was born the year I graduated from high school. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE????? When she was a year old my uncle and aunt came to visit me at college. I was a freshman... and she was 1.
It is a little surreal to me as I write this post. As I'm writing the math is all coming together for me. When I was a freshman in college Mayci was 1... and now when Mayci is a freshman in college Ana will be 1. In just a short time... I can take Ana and Zoe to visit Mayci at college... and I can take a photo of them all together in Mayci's dorm room.
And then... I will blink my eyes... and Ana and Zoe will both be in college.
OK... I need a tissue now. Sniffle sniffle.
Congratulations Mayci!!! We are all very proud of you and we all know you are going to continue on to do amazing things.

My 30th reunion is this year!Too bad I'll be in Dallas for business.
It goes so fast doesn't it? My oldest is 20 and my youngest 3. Sometimes when I look at pics of my oldest as a baby it brings tears to my eyes. Where did it go?
Congratulations Mayci.
