The Month of Acey

    Okay guys, I really want to express my appreciation for everyone who reached out to me after my last post. Those who went through it, knew someone who had or feared that they themselves would approached me. I received numerous texts, emails and just had people come up to me to talk- I truly can not put into words how much that meant to me. I know how personal and difficult it can be to discuss, so I am honored to be able to have that shared with me. I am so grateful for the wonderful people in my life.

I had to steal this from Listi. Can you say RAGAMUFFINS? Btw- wearing slides and socks before it was cool. OK!

    On a completely different note! This past month has been a good one because there has been lots to do, and almost everyone of them has been based on my brother Acey. Yep, I know what you're thinking- you have a brother with the almost exact same name? Yes I do! And this boy is awesome.

◘He turned 18 on April 25th.

◘He received his Eagle Scout Award on April 28th.

◘He turned in his mission papers on May 7th.

◘He graduated from Seminary on May 17th.

◘He graduated from High School on May 23rd.

◘He is currently packing for his first cruise.


    Well, the last one is just what's going on right now, nothing to it, just as a reward for all of his hard work. So just look at those accomplishments! With the exception of the birthday, he has had to work extremely hard to qualify for these things and he deserves recognition. As a matter of fact, I am most proud of his desire for missionary service, his letter (which contains all of the information as to when and where he will go) is getting put in the mail TODAY. This young man is growing up so much faster than I thought possible. Congratulations Acey! Never forget how special you are to me. I am so proud to be your sister. I love you so dang much. Now please enjoy a photo dump and a video of our 3 boy's graduation at the tail end of this post.
