As I face the reality of creeping closer and closer to the age of 40 (still JUST a spry 38) my clients are becoming ever more increasingly more than just random senior parents... They are now friends of mine that have kids that are seniors.
It's a fact that I've sometimes had a hard time with, and maybe it's only because I'm in denial about how old i'm getting... But I guess I should be proud of how long we've been able to keep our doors open?
Tuesday's senior is the daughter of an high school friend... used to be a cheerleader with my wife... did her engagement pictures... family pictures...... and now........ senior pictures for daughter no. 1.
For those of you that know Mama Michele... one cannot know her without smiling. The owner of Day In The Sun tanning salon in Gladbrook, this blonde bombshell has been living life to it's fullest for as long as I've known her... and I know this... she and her hubby, Chad... deserve a pat on the back for the impressive young lady they've raised.
Alyssa shares her mom's blonde locks and this National Honor Society student and 800 meter trackster serves double-time helping out not only at her mom's business... but also doing bookwork for her dad's place just around the corner in Gladbrook for B & G HVAC. That's a lot of letters... but for those of you NOT in the know... B & G is a commercial and residential expert in heating and cooling systems.
What we also found out about Alyssa on Tuesday is that she is a TROOPER! It was oppressively hot that afternoon... and remarkably.. her hair and makeup withstood the elements... as well as her attitude! Mom and I were melting into heaps of molten mess... but, you'd never know our guest of honor was even uncomfortable in the least. ;-) I KNOW she had to be... but she was tough... there's no doubt about that.
There are days when I have to pinch myself and say... dang... you get paid for this? Tuesday was one of those days.. and I told our gang that. Thanks so much to Chad, Michele, Alyssa and kid sis, Lauren for all the fun. It was a day in the sun, for sure.
