Kakey is Graduating!

My niece, Kaitlyn, has survived 12 years at my own alma mater the Highland School system, and she's set to graduate this spring! She's walked a long road since the days when our family referred to our once firey-tempered little sweetie as "Saitlyn." (affectionately, of course.) In those days, it wasn't Sunday after-church-lunch if Kaitlyn wasn't red-faced and crying for a 'big quarter' to put in the little toy vending machines. She grew out of her temper-tantrum phase and marched proudly into the phase whereby she used her baby blues, twinkling smile, and melodically oft-repeated phrase ("I like your outfit") to get out of trouble. (And who could resist? She was a-dorable!)

I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened, but at some point, Kaitlyn gracefully strolled into the chapter of her life where she grew into one of the most sweet-spirited people I know....one who whole-heartedly adores and cares for others, seeks to live a spirit-filled life, and absolutely loves to laugh (and seriously golfs like a pro!). I'm proud to say that she now uses those baby blues for good, and not evil. ;)

We love you Kakey and are so proud of you! You hear it said in every.single.graduation.speech for a reason: it's true. So, throwing novelty to the wind, I say, as important and amazing as your road thus far has been, your journey is truly just beginning!

Loved the golden light in this set...here's my secret weapon. My mom (or Nona to Kaitlyn) was working the diffuser and reflector....
