I'm a Homeschool Graduate!

As of Thursday evening, my cousin, Katy, and I have officially graduated from Heaven's Treasure Academy!  Wow...I am a homeschool graduate!  It is really hard to believe.

We had this special ceremony planned for months.  Thursday evening came very, very quickly...everything was ready and we were excited!  We (myself, Leah, Momma, Katy, Kandace, Clara, Andrew, and Aunt Pam) all went out on a special lunch.  Then, Katy and I got our hair curled!  :)  (That was so fun!)  We had professional family pictures taken beforehand and then at 6:30pm, it started!  It was a very special time...very bittersweet.  We had a wonderful night celebrating our many years of homeschooling!

Here is our program...

Here is my graduation slideshow...   

Now on to some pictures...

Our Daddies prayed over us...

My diploma!

Our sweet sisters were a big help!

Curls...  :)

Here we are with our siblings...minus Clara...

Needless to say, it was a night to remember!  I would like to thank my Daddy and Momma for everything they have done...their prayers, dedication to follow the Bible's teachings, their time, effort, energy, and I could go on and on!  They are the best!

I have had several people ask me about my "future" plans...so here it goes!  :)  I have 57 college credits through CLEPing and DSSTing (test taking for college credit).  I am going to try to get my Bachelor's from Thomas Edison State College through CLEPing...I can get my whole degree at home!  I believe it is Biblical for young women to stay under their father's protection, until the Lord brings their husbands.  The only reason I am pursuing my degree is so I can be prepared if our nation, one day, requires a college education to homeschool our children.  I am preparing to be a stay-at-home wife and mother.  (Titus 2:4-5)  I look forward to what the Lord has in store!

Sorry for such a long blog post!  :)  I had a lot to share!

Many blessings!
