Next on our summer checklist…..
Darcie is officially 23 years old! Per her request, we went canoeing again this year. We had a lot of fun, until I fell out of the canoe. Lost a few towels and my ex husband lost his glasses (whoops!), and my cell phone is trashed now. Otherwise, a good time was had by all! If you’ve never been canoeing, I highly suggest it. It’s a drunken good time, and judging by the numerous times we floated through a cloud of smoke, plenty of people take weed on their journeys as well! Admittedly, it was a great way to deal with 95 degree temperatures. We took the 4 hour trip, and each canoe cost us $50.
I highly recommend the Loudenville Canoe Livery, in Loudenville, Ohio.
Anyway, I’d like to wish my oldest daughter a wonderful birthday, and a fantastic coming year! Love ya!
Graduation is finally over! She’s officially an adult! God help us all! LOL!
Miss Cassandra has officially passed her 18th birthday. We’re getting down to just days before she graduates. This thing called parenting really does hurt your heart sometimes. I can’t believe she’s
graduating high school and becoming a productive member of society. She passed her state boards for cosmetology. She won a Kiwanis award for being an outstanding student in cosmetology. She has already gotten her first and second tattoo! She’s jumping into adulthood as fast as she can, and I can’t seem to hold her back. It sucks.
She’s also gotten another set of senior pictures done. I’ll post those separate.
So join me in my parental distress over losing another kiddo to adulthood….
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and enjoyed every moment that you could with your loved ones. I spent my evening with three of the 4 Stewart Kids, and I’m missing my fourth. I hope he’s safe and happy, wherever he is.
Me, Cassie and Ryan
