The Joy of Nieces......

I had a very special Aunt growing up.  
She used to make me feel like I was her favorite (I still think I was!)  I spent alot of time with her.  I helped her clean, watched movies with her, played cards with her.  I went to church with her on occasion and even went on vacation with her to Utah.
She was so loving and always seemed interested in what I was doing and what I had to say.  She made me feel valued.  
I miss her greatly and think of her so often.
I am now an Aunt and have 2 nieces of my own.  Last year my oldest niece graduated from high school with my firstborn.  They are seven weeks apart.  I had alot of fun this past year sending her a few care packages so she knew she was missed and loved.
This week, my second and final niece is graduating.  Tomorrow is her baccalaureate and Thursday her graduation.  I am working on a cake for her special day which I will post about tomorrow.
We could not be more proud of all the accomplishments my niece has made thus far.  Academically, athletically and spiritually.  She is so talented at so may things and the most amazing thing is that she is the sweetest, kindest young women you could ever meet.
We look forward to a busy week celebrating the end of finals for my freshman. 
We also await  the memorable events that culminate our senior niece's graduation. We look ahead as she takes the next step onto her journey as a college freshman.
