I'm Overwhelmed & My Sister Graduated!!

WOW.

WOW. WOW. WOW.

You guys are all amazing!!

I knew that my SITS day was going to likely be awesome and fun, but I had NO IDEA how much comment love I would really get. You've all made me feel so loved and I can't wait to visit each and every one of you. Mind you, it's going to take me awhile {so please be patient with me}. LOL But I am going to make it my mission to get to you all. I'm so overwhelmed. Thank you SO. MUCH!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My sister has been going to Gene Juarez Academy for the past 13 months and on Tuesday, she was announced as a graduate!!

Her class graduation is at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, in October.

Evan giving her the flowers we got for her.

Kisses from the littlest munchkin.

With her hubby. Now that she's done with school, he's going to school to be a fire fighter. He started EMT training on Monday night and goes till December and then fire fighter training starts in the spring!

With Dad, Mom, Me and Evan.

With mom. She's watched the boys two days a week for the past year and three days a week for the past couple months while Dawn fast-tracked through the last little bit of school.

The students gathering around to see Dawn announced.

Almost ready.

"Dawn aka Kingston {her "stage name"} has completed her 1600 hours of beauty school. Congratulations!!"

*tears* I had to seriously hold them back when I saw Dawn and all her friends crying. It's making me teary just looking at these pictures.


The whole fam minus Justin's dad and sister.

Sisters. Awwww.


I'm seriously SO PROUD of her!! She did SO awesome the whole time she was in school and Gene Juarez is coming after her instead of her trying to get in with them! She's taking a few months off while Justin's in EMT training and then she's going to go to the Advanced Training with Gene Juarez and become a Gene Juarez employee for at least 2 years {as of right now...her plans could change since they have a few times already}.

Congratulations Dawn!!!

Hi Megan,

Considering you have a lot of SITSAS to visit, you got back to me very quick indeed! Hats off to you. I enjoyed looking around your blog on your SITS day. I'd like to keep in touch now.

So remember me, gaelikaasdiary.blogspot.com. I'll be back with you. And I wish you all the best in your quest to become a mother. Always keep hope in your heart and remember, I had my first kid at 32 and I even had one at 40. Anything's possible.

See you soon!

Congrats to your sister, and her family! You have a beautiful family, how wonderful they were all there to help support and celebrate with your sister! I have a friend who's a beautician, it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to get through the hours/classes! Congrats to her! Also many congrats to her husband who is pursuing a career as a fire fighter. Ahhhhh, fire fighters. I just love fire fighters. Seriously, what is more sexy and chivalrous than a man who will run into a burning buiding, and risk his life, to save a stranger!!! tell him I said so. They are my heros, and considering 9/11-many people across the world can say that! I will pray for you and your family. I have not read through your blog(forgive me-I was up till 3 AM last night reading blogs). I don't want to offend you, I don't mean to, but have you considered adoption? There are so many wonderful children that need people as wonderful, king, giving, and loving as you, and good healthy environments/homes. Maybe that is part of God's plan for you. Sorry if I offended you:) Forgive me. but, very nice to meet you. You have a great blog. I am new to SITS. Nice to meet you and your family:)
