Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to First Grade I Go

I have dreaded this day since the day she was born.  Seriously that long.

She had her first day of first grade today.  Which means she is gone all day.  Which means  I am home alone all day.

I have to say that I didn't even get teary eyed today.  I am quite a bit shocked actually.  I may be ready for the boys' missions yet.

But, no worries today.  Luckily Steve took the morning to spend it I mean support me through it.  I am so lucky.  I know because he did this that it made it a great day for me.

Steve and I went and worked out together at the gym.  I love when we get to exercise together.  Then we came home and quickly got ready for a 10:30 a.m movie, went to lunch at our favorite restaurant (well, one of them anyway) and then I stopped by The Sweet Tooth Fairy and tried her Salted Caramel cupcake.  I have to say that I think it is my favorite of all the ones I've tasted.

I decided to make these grade signs because I noticed in a scrapbook that I had put the wrong grades.  You always think you are going to remember...

So, today my boys started 5th and 6th grades.

Those are the grades I remember the most and have my longest remaining friends from 5th grade.  So, these will be big years for them.  Ty is looking so grown up to me and he is so ready to be a teenager.

I know I will miss her but she is exactly where she is suppose to be.  There are so many opportunities opening up to me right now that I feel this is a new stage of adventure in my life to see where I end up.
