Next year we will certainly enjoy a celebration as David completes High School but just for now we will stop for a moment...... and stroll down memory lane. As I made David pose for a quick picture this morning before he left to drive himself to his new school- The Acadamy for Art, Science and Technology in Myrtle Beach (AAST for short), I couldn't help but remember a time many years gone by. My little fellow with his LLbean blue bookbag and favorite brand of shirt headed off to a new school for 1st grade. I worried and hoped he would make friends and be happy. That he would like his teacher and not be disappointed with his new journey. Today was not much different. I still worried and hoped he would make friends and be happy. That he would like his teachers and not be disappointed with his new journey. I knew I wasn't there to drop him off or watch him walk through the door but I reached into my pocket and felt my cell phone and was grateful for modern technology. I was waiting on it to vibrate so I could answer and here that he had made it safely there. I hoped the Highway would be calm on the 20 minute drive, the merging and turning with all the traffic would not be so difficult.... I stopped what I was doing at work to answer my phone..."Mom, I made it to school, someone was nice and stopped to let me make the left hand turn into school with ease." grateful for little blessings, grateful for the Father's blessing he received earlier that morning.
2:50...Mom it was a great day. I'll tell you all about it when I pick you up.

Gosh...time goes by so fast! I can't believe it! He looks cute as ever!!! :)
i LOVE those shorts! I'm a plaid nut, what can i say?
I got a little nostalgia looking at that first picture - I remember him starting that year of first grade at a new school and going to see him there at lunch one day (same semester I started at USC) - I can't believe you're almost done with the (non-college) school years (david and the parents!)
I want to hear from David about the school - send an email sometime. oh, i have some sports booklet thing that came in the sunday paper this week for him.
