Amy ~~ our 32-year-old daughter. Wife, mother of four, and principal of hundreds. What a joy it has been to watch Amy's life unfold and to see her excel in both spectrums of her life. After teaching for 9 or 10 years, she was promoted to principal of grades 4-6 a year ago and just today completed her first year as in that position. I'm sure there were many struggles along the way because that is the nature of a new job, but I never heard her say one negative thing about her job. I did hear her say countless times how much she was enjoying it.
The Grandkids came home with their yearbooks a few days ago. When I finally got to thumb through one, I was struck by Amy's lovely "portrait" near the front of the book. My little girl ~~ all grown up ~~ a professional woman, but more importantly, a Godly woman.
I post her picture tonight in thanksgiving to God that He blessed her first year as principal. She has to work next week (to close out everything for the summer) and then will have 6 weeks off~~ 2 with Brian and their kids and then 4 as mommy-of-the-day while Brian works at his equally fascinating job this summer. I know Amy will enjoy setting aside her professional hat and wearing her favorite hat~~ that of full-time wife and mother for a few weeks.
Get the loose ends tied up next week, Amy, and come home to 6 weeks of family fun and blessing. May God richly bless you and yours, my Darling Daughter.
Love,
Mother
