And Now She's A Senior

 Geez, I don't know how it happened, but Natalie is now a senior. 

I remember freaking out when my son was a senior in High School. And that was even more difficult because of Covid. He graduated in 2020. 

Now I have to schedule senior pics and I know I'll be seeing that overpriced Josten's book full of senior stuff when she starts school in August. 

(Rings are a waste of money. Sorry. But they are.)

I remember when Natalie was starting Kindergarten:

Heck, I remember when she was a freshman in High School an I was worried about then. I knew how fast it went by because of my son, and I was correct. I remember taking the picture the day before high school started and thinking, dang, before I know it she'll be a senior:

And I was correct:

After High School plans? Well, she'll apply to colleges. She has been saying she wants to major in marine biology and minor in theatre. She loves theatre but knows it can be a difficult industry to succeed and make money in. She has always loved aquariums and marine life, so she thinks she'd enjoy doing that for a living. 

But for now we'll enjoy the summer.

And I'll try not to think about how she's walking into the new school year as a senior.
