day of celebrations

Today Brianna and I went to lunch together at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Mother’s Day. When the waitress brought the bill and handed it to me, I shook my head and told her that my daughter was paying. Brianna had the cutest smile on her face! She is appreciating her babysitting jobs…me too :)

Yesterday Brianna finished  7th grade  with Florida Virtual School. She ended up her semester with 3 A’s and 1 B. Well done, Brianna!

This afternoon on our way home from Millenia Mall the temperature dropped 30 degrees in less than 10 minutes and we had what I think was our first official summer storm. The lightning and thunder were spectacular, albeit terrifying for the driver, ie me. I kept the flashers on and cautiously motored along. Although I prefer to be home, I do love our tropical rains.

Last the best of all…Today we also celebrated Brianna joining our family. Nine years ago today her adoption was final, and she was sealed to us in the Florida Orlando Temple.  That was a wonderful day!
