The baby toddler and childhood days are over. \ud83d\ude41 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And today she officially began college.  She&#8217;s off world- look out!  She still needs our guidance and direction- and some of the time she even listens to it. \ud83d\ude42 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>She wants to join the peace corps and travel the world helping others but she has to finish at least an associates first though.   So, Olivia officially began her journey into adult yesterday as she began classes at TCC.  She wants to do something with special needs children- but wants to work with them primarily in the preschool years.  She doesn&#8217;t think that she wants it to be in the school system though- occupational therapy maybe?  She&#8217;s still figuring that out so if you have any suggestions please let her know!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>May God bless my daughter as she figures out the plan He has for her.  May He also comfort Brett and I  as we transition from being the one making most of her decisions to becoming her counselor and advisor.  She will always need me but we both have to let go and let God. It may not always be easy for either of us, but we should look for the excitement in this moment.  My little &#8220;livi&#8221; is growing up and making her mark  on the world.  I am so proud of her.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"731\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/livi-1-731x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/livi-1-731x1024.jpg 731w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/livi-1-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/livi-1-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/livi-1.jpg 877w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/graduation-92-of-95-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/graduation-92-of-95-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/graduation-92-of-95-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/graduation-92-of-95-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ethiopialivi-63-of-83-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ethiopialivi-63-of-83-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ethiopialivi-63-of-83-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/ethiopialivi-63-of-83-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-100-of-100-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-100-of-100-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-100-of-100-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-100-of-100-768x615.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-75-of-100-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-75-of-100-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-75-of-100-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-75-of-100-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.devonshanorphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-9-of-100-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-9-of-100-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-9-of-100-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/devonshanorphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/olivia-9-of-100-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw this picture today on FB and I almost cried.
