This year is our 10th year at Rhema.  Sammy will be graduating from grade 8 this year.  I had some heart palpation happening.  My oldest son, yet a baby all the same.  He was the one to teach me the first of everything.  He was the reason I walked into Rhema unannounced one day and I loved what I saw.<\/p>\n<p>This year will be about a bunch of last times for Sammy.  I loved that all the boys were under one roof all day.  High school&#8230; it is kind of a ugly word,  kind of a scary word.  It brings to mind gawkiness, girls and zits.  OK  I am not even going to go there, yet.<\/p>\n<p>8th grade.  I remember my 8th grade graduation.  I remember my dress and that was the occasion for my first pair of heels&#8230; wedge heels.  I feel teary already.  <\/p>\n<p>I want this year to be wonderful for Sammy.  He has great teachers.  I want him to feel good and have a great last year at Rhema, a great last year of being in elementary school.  I am not sure I am ready for this.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the 8th grade, Sammy!  May it be awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I went in to the school early this week to take care of some stuff, I was hit with a weird sensation.
