Rocky is 18!!

 

Rocky is now 18! I officially have an adult son! I don't know why it took me forever to write this post maybe because we have been so busy between work and his graduation and party. Rocky is very kind and such a hardworker. Me and him have a very close relationship. I feel like he is can come to me and tell me anything and I am the same way. I like that we can tell each other everything about each other's lives. I hope it stays that way. Rocky is such a great big brother and great friend! He loves five nights at freddy's; that is a game if no one is familiar with that. He loves transformers and cars and action figures that he calls it. He loves to be independent and buy his own stuff. I am really proud of the man that he is turning into.

I made a scrapbook page of him for my book

So Rocky graduated High School almost a week after he turned 18. And of course we had a party to celebrate both his birthday and graduation. We are all so proud of him! Everybody ask me what he is planning on doing now that he graduates and all I know is that he wants to get a full time job so not just a seasonal job. I know that he loves Lagoon he just wants to get a better paying job and one that is all year. He is going to stay at home as long as he wants. I know how hard it is out there and I don't want him to struggle financially so as long as he is working he doesn't have to go anywhere. I don't care what anyone says college is a money pit so I rather him learn a trade than go to college. You can still get a good job without a college degree. Now a days you don't even need a college degree to get a job.(now this is just my opinion so I don't want anyone bashing our beliefs; with our experience this is what we came to) We are trying to work on him on getting his driver's license but he feels like he isn't ready yet. We try to take him out driving as much as we can but between all of us working it's kinda hard. I want to thank everyone that came to his party and graduation. You know who you are! I want to also thank you guys for all of the support. It means the world to us!
