Amber is growing up

Amber then and Amber now. Wow time goes tooooo fast. Cherish every single day of your children's lives. Amber had her first High School dance last week. I just can not believe how time flies. Just yesterday she was sitting on Santas lap asking for barbies for Christmas. She had a great time at the dance. School hasn't even started yet but they had a mixer for all the High School kids to come and just hang out. I am so looking forward to her High School years. She had 2 orientations this past week with parents and then a student only day time event as well. She doesn't offically start until this week but has already spent time at the High School four days last week. She is taking JROTC as one of her electives. She is going to have such a great time. She has already decided she wants to go out for three of the extracurricular teams. Rifle team, Drill team and orienteering. In two weeks they actually have their first overnighter. They call it "Boot Camp". Two days of being trained by the Marines in the way of team building and confidence building. She is especially excited about the dunk tank training they will receive. I am so proud of her boldness and desire to try new things. I believe she is going to have a fabulous time in High School.
