It’s 1:30 in the morning about now so I can’t be held responsible for anything I write…spelling errors, inappropriate comments, it’s all acceptable. This week has been senior week for me. Lots of seniors getting ready for their last year before the final freedom they’ve been waiting 18 years for. Don’t you think it’s funny that we used to think that graduating from high school would be the ultimate freedom and that we could do and have anything we wanted? And now, most of us have jobs, spouses, kids, etc. Not a terrible amount of freedom. And ironically, we probably had a lot more freedom when we were in high school and didn’t have very many responsibilites. So this is the challenge for me. Not letting all the things I “must” do take away my freedom to enjoy life. It seems the older I get, the harder it is to not get in a boring old routine that robs me of life. So as I climb this hill of life, I will fight with everything in me to still live like I”m a “senior”.
And here’s my inspiration…senior #1! She was way laid-back and cool… totally fun!

If this is Kelsey Lillian Louise born March 5, 1991, then I am your grandmother Karen – your father’s mother. Your pictures look very nice. I haven’t seen you since you were 6 months old. That is very unfortunate and not of my choosing, but it is what it is. I hope your life continues to be a good one and I am sure you will be a success no matter what you decide to do. Just thought I’d let you know that I am indeed alive and kicking and doing my best everday to survive like the rest of us.
Love, Grandma
