There's a song with the line, "Every new beginning marks some other beginning's end..." That kind of describes our week. On Thursday I taught my last class at Bloomin Scrapbooks. I've been fortunate to have been on their design team the last few years and have met so many wonderful people through the experience. I'm sad to see the store close but am so thankful for the memories left in its place. Here is the layout from my first class in 2006:
Then on Friday, my 17 year old had the last basketball game of his school career. He's been playing since 4th grade, so this marked our eighth season of games. It's been a frustrating year for him with most games being watched from the bench and we knew this would be his final season. He had acted like it didn't bother him, but once the game was over and the players returned from the locker room, I could tell his eyes were red. Later I asked if the coaches had said something to him, and he said, "No I was just emotional because it was my last one." Boy, that tugged at my heartstrings... Oh well, track practice starts Monday!
