Miami Heat

... that was the theme of our daughter's Senior Prom held at the Rosen Plaza Hotel Saturday night, April 17th. She went with her boyfriend. She has gone to almost all her high school dances with him, there are only 2 dances that I can recall that she went with someone else. There have been 3 dances a year since her freshman year. This is her last one... sniffle, sniffle. They had a wonderful time! She will look back someday and remember these days fondly. Our daughter chose not to go with the baby blue and white theme (Miami Heat), she dares to be different! When we found this dress, we knew it was the one. She looked gorgeous (as usual!). She is a beautiful girl, what I love most is that she has such personality, a giving heart, loves life and shines her light everywhere she goes. Here are a few pictures. You can only imagine how many I actually have! Hope you enjoy.

It's APRIL~

Hello,
We made it through Spring Break, yeah! Since about 2000, we have been taking family vacations during Spring Break. It is a good time of the year to go somewhere as a family. This year, was different. Our son of course is deployed and no longer lives at home and our daughter wanted to go to the beach with her friends because it was her last year in high school, her "last high school spring break!" So Road King and I worked while our daughter played in New Smyrna Beach. I have to admit, it was a bit stressful okay it was a lot stressful, a little "test" for all of us for when she goes away to college in the fall. Her and 6 of her friends in two hotel rooms at the beach... was I really expecting to get any rest this week? All worked out well, they were typical teenagers, they didn't sleep, they got into arguments and on each other's nerves, but no one got hurt or in trouble, so life is good!



There are about 33 days of school left! Lots to do, graduation announcements, parties, cheer banquets, and so on!

We are also very excited as we spoke to our son and he will be home on leave April 22nd. He is back in the US and just left Hawaii, were he was able to take a couple days leave before heading back to San Diego and then on to Yuma, AZ. We can't wait to see him. It has been 7 months since we have seen him, he turned 21 during that time too!

When our son was a senior in high school he got to choose where he wanted to go for our family vacation, he chose NYC. It was an awesome trip. This year, for our daughter's graduation trip, she chose California. This summer we are planning a trip back to the West Coast, can't wait! We have done San Francisco and LA before, so we will hit up some new spots this time.

Love & Peace,

Kim
