Graduation

Brayden graduated on May 22, 2013

at 7:00 pm

It's so sad how my life was only planned up until this night. I could not see past this event.

Now that it is over, I can start to feel happy about upcoming events

and the rest of my life for that matter.

I tried really hard to hold back the tears, but I could not stop them.

I kept recalling the night that I laid on the floor by him when he was 4 days old thinking about long 18 years would take and how overwhelming being a mother to this little baby was going to be and here we are and I kind of want him to be that little baby again, so I can start over and do better.

I love him more than words can express

Thanks to my family for all their love and support and help

All of the graduates walked through the giant PV

I was a mess

And I am very proud of him for his hard work

Brayden and Kami

It was a great night.

Such a milestone overcome

I feel so relieved that we get to move on

We have bigger and better things to work on now.

URFAVE 5+A Few said...: Yay for Brayden and for everyone! This is such an exciting event and time. Blake graduated last night and I have to say that I am relieved that it's over with. Well I'm a little sad just because the realization that he's growing up and moving on is hitting me. I can't help but think hmmmm...have did I teach him enough? Will he be ok? But these boys are good boys and they are going to do great!; May 24, 2013 at 12:57 PM
The fly-fisherman's wife said...: Congratulations to Brayden! What a great accomplishment. We are so excited for him (and feeling so old myself). I cannot believe that he has already graduated, wasn't he just born a couple years ago?! It has been so fun to watch him grow up and become a man... a hairy man :)

Congrats to his mama too. What a great night for you.; May 27, 2013 at 3:20 PM

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
