To think...... almost 19 years ago a life was created.  I was not graduated from high school and yet I was bringing another life into this world. I was determined to graduate high school and try to be a good role model for this little life that I was bringing into this crazy world.  He was born at the coldest time of the year but warmed so many hearts around him the day he arrived. For 6 months I packed both him and I up and made sure I finished high school.  It was hard!!! I'm not going to lie....but I was scared to be labeled a "drop out mom".  I wanted the best for him and wanted him to be proud of his mom. 

Along our journey of growing up together we had some pretty fun times and created a bond like I have with no one else.  A bond so strong we are almost at times to this day each others enemy.  We each know each others strengths and weaknesses and are alike it sooo many ways.  Big hearted ....sensitive....impatient at times and strive to be perfect.  Wow....did I just admit that about myself...haha. 

I'm proud that he has grown up to be such a good son.  I really have gotten lucky.  He's stayed out of major trouble, gotten good grades in school and is now about to graduate!!!!  Wow....I have a son who is graduating high school!!! Seems so crazy cause I feel like I just graduated high school with him yesterday.

Andres I am proud out you!  

It was a bitter sweet taking these photos......Happy he's moving up in the world but sad my baby is now grown up.
