I Blinked

Last week Whitney graduated from high school. She won the music departmental award, and wore several honor cords. She was a triple letterman, earning varsity letters in Swimming, Music, and Theater. In addition, after completing the Running Start program, she is also graduating from the community college with an A.A. degree, with high honors! She earned a full-ride scholarship to her first choice university, and will be starting there this fall! She's majoring in Music Education with vocal performance and choral concentrations. Having two years of college already complete will allow her to jump straight into her degree program! Because Music requires 4 years for skill progression, Whitney will be able to double minor in Theater and Dance, and she'll also earn her high school music teaching credential, with Theater and Dance endorsements. I'm so incredibly proud of the amazing young woman Whitney has become! While she is very intelligent and talented, she is also humble, kind, compassionate, generous, responsible, reliable, forgiving, hard-working, gracious, wise beyond her years, and she operates from the highest level of integrity. She loves God mightily, and is committed to living her life for Him.
Just yesterday I was writing on this blog about my plans for her 1st grade year of homeschooling. And then I blinked, and here we are. I blinked and it's gone.
