jake had his senior pictures taken tuesday. for months, i only viewed this as something on the "to do" list. as i followed around and helped the photographer, watching jake pose and crack his million dollar smile, i realized this was the last time i had to go through this process and that it signifies the beginning of a new stage - jake's senior year. i need to remember to enjoy each and every day for this next year, because then he's gone.

danielle and i experienced the titanic exhibit and imax movie at our local museum. she has always been interested in the titanic and the exhibit was great, really giving you an idea of what it was like to be a passenger on this famous ship. i've been reflecting on something that was said in the movie.
it went something like this; once you know a little bit about the titanic, you measure your life against it. how would you have handled the fact that the ship was going down? would you have been panicked and manic? or would you have been cool, calm and collected? would you have done anything to get into a life boat? or would you have accepted your fate? would you have helped those around you? or would it have been all about you and saving yourself?

61%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?
i took this little test this week and the results show that i'm 61% addicted to blogging. i'm not sure about that. i know it's just a 'canned' survey, but i figured i was more addicted than that.

Hi, Diana!
I LOVE my name here! How fun! Thank you! I love reading your blog, and your creative and energetic spirit. It is a blessing to me, too!
Thank you for your comments and concern for me as well. I'll write an update on me tomorrow...I've just been kind of tired today!! Thanks, again!! :)
I love how you did these! Thanks for letting us know about Sarah!
God Bless,
Amber
those are great questions from the titanic. would you do my name too???? thanks
i'm anxious to see Jake's million dollar smile senior pictures. gracious, he grew up fast.
I took the quiz and am 60% addicted to blogging. I think that's about right. =o) I can't wait to see Jakes pictures. As far as the titanic question, I suppose the RIGHT answer would be that I'd be composed...but I don't think that's how I would actually be.
Those names are so cool.
I'm too scared to take the test..hehehee.

I enjoyed reading your reflections!
The post of the week really made me think and the glass giant site was just way too much fun - that was not a good one to put on - do those kind when you know I'm on vacation!!!! :D
Hi Diana! I did my name meme today. Come see when you get a chance!
The milestones will pass to another level, but oh I am with you. We just moved our oldest out, and off to business school, work and his own direction...so the milestones are clicking away for us all!!
