Poor pitiful Josh. He had to say good bye to his baby - aka his jeep, a few weeks ago. It is on it's way to Germany in hopes that it will arrive BEFORE we do!
Four days after Jared graduated, Skye had a promotion ceremony at her school. She looked so beautiful and grown up! (You can't see it in the picture, but she was rocking black converse that had hot pink laces covered in skulls!) She was awarded the Academic Excellence Award for having an over all A average. It was an awesome ceremony that - interestingly - lasted 2 1/2 hours. I had to laugh that it took so much longer than Jared's! Afterwards, we went back to Skye's classroom for pictures and goodbyes. It was hard for her knowing all of her friends would be together next year and she wasn't going to be. BUT - she put on a very brave face. She knows that we should be back just in time to start her freshman year. (we are hoping to move into the same area so they can go to high school with their friends) 
Jared graduated from Jourdanton HS this June. He was one of the eight NHS members, on the Principal's list and was awarded for academic excellence. It was a really nice ceremony but unusually brief. (It lasted all of 45 minutes!) He plans on attending UTSA for his freshman year as well as continuing to coach at the Texas Cheer Academy. His future goals include applying to some out of state universities (ie - Hawaii) and getting his bachelor's in kinesiology.
