Our sweet Krissia is a senior this year.
Wow - where did the time go?
Lately, it's hit me that many of the things she's been doing are being done for THE VERY LAST TIME.
Like when she went to Senior Ball 10 days ago:
However, I didn't feel as sad about that event as I did while attending her very last home meet ever over the weekend. The team uses this meet to honor the outgoing seniors, and I realized we only have a very few high school swim meets left with our daughter :(
The seniors of the Trident swim team:
Each senior was recognized and given flowers:

In the water:
The state meet in February could very well be our last time ever watching Krissia swim competitively; although our daughter has been approached by colleges for swimming, she is unsure if she wants to pursue it beyond high school. With the last ten years spent supporting our daughter in the water, it saddens me to think about this huge part of our lives being gone...forever.
But whatever Krissia decides to do with her future, she'll have the support of her parents. If our daughter meets her new goals and adventures with the same competitive spirit and determination she's demonstrated during swimming, we know she'll do just fine :)

Don't make me get teary eyed too!
She seriously as grown up so fast! She is such a beautiful, good girl though, and you guys should be proud of her and of yourselves :)
I remember Krissia as a baby when she had a hard time getting around with her gimpy leg in that little house where I camped out in the basement for a few months. That doesn't seem too long ago...And now she is almost out of high school??!! For the love of Pete!!! I'm sure you and Del are very proud of all she has accomplished and for the wonderful person she has become.
