This Life...Is Going Somewhere


AWARDS BANQUET

Another school year has come and gone...
This life, is a canvas on fire,
Burn bright, live your deepest desires,
For the time here on this side of Heaven
You'll fly like sparks in the night -
This life, it's a gift from the One who gives life
To every daughter and son

Take the time, here on this side of Heaven to find the road that goes on and on.....
You can see the back of her hair in the mirror

Mom and Dad got her a watch for the special event



Her version of trying to hold her eyes open so she wouldn't blink (inherited trait, unfortunately)

Some of the decor for the evening - Mom made autograph books for the students. She was also in charge of the whole thing.



So work like your worth more than money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like you dance when no one is watching!

I love you, Emily!
You're beautiful - inside and out - allover! Big Sis
