Today Anda graduated from high school!!! If you don't know Anda, trust me, you are missing out on a blessing. She is incredible :) Anda & her two brothers were adopted a few years ago by my boss and his family. Before being adopted they lived in Latvia. Anda has an amazing story! She is a strong, compassionate, humble, intelligent, beautiful girl, and she's on fire for God! He has done so much in her life, and i'm smiling now just thinking about things she will accomplish in life. If you ever get time...sit down with her. Perhaps she'll tell you her story....maybe she won't, but no matter what, it will be a blessing just getting to know her. Her graduation ceremony was a little different than most. She was homeschooled & was the only graduate, so all the attention was on her :) ...which makes her a nervous wreck. She did an awesome job on her speech, her dad spoke, her mom sang, and we all cried like babies!!! It was sooo good! There's a tradition in Latvia where everyone brings flowers for the graduate. They incorporated that tradition into the ceremony. All of Anda's friends and family brought beautiful bouquets of flowers, and in a single file line presented them to her! It was the coolest thing ever!! I want to start that tradition here ;) I mean, how could you not love being surrounded by a million flowers?? Here's a picture of Anda...I bet you can't look at it without smiling!
