Wow! I can't believe it's been 10 years since I've posted!! Where has the time gone?  It seems like just yesterday I was posting on here non stop to keep everyone updated.  Today, I post to celebrate.  Ida has reached a milestone we never knew if she would reach or not.  Last Friday, Ida graduated from high school.  Not only did she graduate, but she had a 3.95 GPA several AP courses on her transcript.  Ida will be attending the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in the fall where she was admitted to the College of Biomedical Sciences to pursue a degree in Microbiology and then possibly Pathology!

Ida's graduation party is next Saturday, June 10th at 3:00pm at our house in Beaver Dam.  If you are in the area and would like to stop by, please feel free to do so!  Or, if you'd like to mail her a card, that would be great too.  Our address is:

112 Foxview Ct
Beaver Dam, WI 53916

As long as I'm on here, a quick update on the rest of us.  Sadie just completed her first year at UW Madison and is pursuing a degree in nursing.  I'd like to think Ida's history had a little influence on their career paths.  Paul is the Director of Public Works in Fond du Lac and I will be starting a new job in July as the administrative assistant at Waterloo (WI) High School.  I've been at Beaver Dam High School the past 7 years and feel truly blessed to have watched both my girls go through there.

Thank you to everyone for all of the support we received so many years ago.  It will never be forgotten!

Love,
Melissa
