2017 Grad.

This is the week, the week I've been waiting for since I was a little girl.  This week I graduate from high school.

I successfully finished the last of my school work last week and since then we've been working on getting things ready for a party this Saturday, the 24th.

People ask me if I'm excited to be done.  They ask me what I want, what I'm going to do next.

To these questions, I seem to give different answers each time, though they're still very similar.  It's a lot to think about, it's the whole future, and I'm free to do what I want.

I'm excited to be finished, though it's still settling in.  I was pretty much not doing any school a couple of months ago because I was busy and most of it was finished.  Then I had to really get at it and finish last week.  So in a way, it feels like I've been done for a while now, even though I haven't been.

In truth, this year hasn't been one of the best.  Things are changing, other things aren't.  I've been very active with cattle work, taking care of pets, and my own fun things that for a while, I was overwhelmed and tired.  So to have school finished and behind me, makes me really happy and it's one less thing I have to do.

There are so many choices, thoughts, desires, goals, and dreams floating around my head that I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  I've been praying about it and for now, I'm going to try to simply enjoy living my life.

Anyway, we have quite a bit of cleaning, planning, and things to do before the celebration on Saturday, so I might get.
