A Time to Celebrate
Tonight’s the night. Justus will be graduating from 8th grade and his high school journey will be beginning. (taken 2014) We’ve had small celebrations for each child when they complete the 8th grade and I’ve had 4 to plan for. Tonight will be the 5th. First there was Seth, then a few years later, Zachary, then Wesley, Serenity and now Justus. He’s worked hard and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Congratulations, Justus – my little man!
