Congratulations Heidi Girl...


Please join us:
Let the fireworks begin.
Heidi Ann Abate has passed her finals.
She is now a College graduate.
4 long years of classes, tests
And so much studying.


Congratulations Sweet Girl.
Dad and I are SO proud.
You have shown your girls
That anything is possible.
Study hard, and
The sky is the limit.
If you only believe in yourself.

Heidi has petitioned the school to walk in
the Spring. They only have the one graduation,
And she wants to walk across that stage
And accept her diploma.
Her degree is in
Applied Science in Family Education.

She also received (3)
Certified Certificates of Learning.
One - Adolescent Development.
One - Public Administration.
One - Parent Educator.

Heidi has already been hired, 
A job using her degree.
She has been working now for almost
4 weeks for Child Protection Services.
She loves it. She will make a difference.

Heidi Girl.
We are SO thrilled.
We knew you could do it.

As always,
thank you for stopping by,
my little piece of heaven,
here in the desert,
that I so love to call home.
Country hugs and much love,

CONGRATULATIONS to your sweet Heidi. With you by her side she will soar. You are the BEST cheerleader anyone could ever wish for.

Congrats to your daughter! That's awesome! What an accomplishment. She should be proud.

CPS, I wish her luck. They need good, caring people who can help those innocent children. I've worked with CPS in my line of work. They truly are saints!

Congratulations to Heidi! What a wonderful accomplishment. I'm also a parent educator but haven't used my background for quite a few years. She is going to go far.

Congratulations to your daughter. What a huge accomplishment. Says a lot about you and the rest of her family as this is where the love and support come from. It is wonderful to see a happy and cheerful post and a young person doing so well to move forward in her life, doing what she loves. Hugs from me!!

I know just how you both feel....the pride is bursting at the seams. I'm still hoping that our son, Erik, will someday soon have a Dr. by his name if he gets accepted to Rice University for his PhD degree.

I stopped by this morning to send along the best holiday wishes to you and yours sweet Sherry!!

PEA said...

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too .. xoxo

The Quintessential Magpie said...

Hoorah for Heidi! Congrats on a job well done!

Sherry, I am just now getting back online. First the virus control went wonky, then the battery had to be ordered and replaced. I was out of town when the latter happened, and I thought the thing had crashed for the final time. Fortunately, it hadn't. WHEW!

Thanks for the info on Dells. I am fililng that away. I think it would be between that and a Mac.

Hope you are doing well and enjoying the holidays. I know that we are still within the Twelve Days of Christmas which ends January 6th on Epiphany or Three Kings Day when the wisemen came to visit baby Jesus, but I wanted to wish you a belated Merry Christmas because I didn't hit it on the 25th. Hope it was great. Also, a very Happy 2012!

Love to you and yours and cheers to Heidi!

XO,

Sheila :-)
