my cute sadie finished high school!
the high school experience for her ended on a high note. she accomplished her goal of graduating with a 4.0 and graduated as valedictorian.
it has been an absolute honor being a part of her life and helping raise her.
she is good through and through.
high school can be a tough time and she definitely had bumps in her road. i believe they made her stronger, more aware, and helped her rely on the Lord. she decided what she wanted to do and what she wanted to be about, and then she went about doing it.
i watched her put first things first, work hard, reach out to others, and trust that Heavenly Father would prosper her and He did.
it was marvelous to watch.
words can't describe the feeling i got watching her speak in front of the huge crowd at graduation. she did a beautiful job and it was great closure to this amazing chapter in her life.
viv liked wearing sadie's medals and pretending to graduate.
good sisters.
i'm grateful sadie and abe were in student government with each other. i'm grateful they had each other during abe's first year and sadie's last year in high school.
i hope they always choose to be good friends.

i am so proud of sadie and think she had an ideal high school experience. she loved it. i hope as she moves forward in life, she will remember the process of the last four years...times of discouragement and heartache mixed with joy and happiness.
you have to have the low-lights to appreciate the high-lights.
things are usually hard before they become easy.
do your part and trust that you will have heaven's help.
don't be a complainer.
focus on what's right not so much what's wrong.
be your own best friend. positive self talk goes a long way.
be grateful and notice the sun rising each morning.
smile because it tells your brain it's happy:)

decide what you want to do early, and then go about doing it.
things are usually not what you expect
but you can create good where you are.
choose to do what it takes to be happy (ma sa laa ch'ool)
leave it better than you found it.
raise the bar just a little bit.
be original.
love life.
truly hope for good things ahead and always, always, always
know you are loved!
I LOVE YOU SADIE!
YOUR MOM THINKS YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
