30 friends came over on May 3rd for our Mexican Fiesta. We had lots of munchies and mingling. They spoiled me on my birthday with a cake (from June's Tasty Treats)fresh flowers, a fern that Hannah picked out, a gift certificate for sunglasses, and my favorite bath products from Origins. We went to Wichita Falls for Rachel's ortho appointment and went to eat at McAlester's. We made it back in time for the girls to go to youth group at 7 p.m.
Mother's Day is always special as I remember my own mother and thank the Lord for the gift of being a mother myself. It has been a great 15 years, yes, Rachel will be driving soon and Hannah is about to become a teenager on the 22nd of this month. I have to say, they are the best teenagers!
The school year is coming to a close and we are all excited about summer schedule and spending lots of time by the pool. Rachel ended year first year in high school with top honors. She was inducted into the National Honor Society, following the footsteps of her father. (He drug out his certificate to show us.)She also got top honors in solo and ensemble choir contests. She will be on the varsity cheerleading squadron next school year. And hopes to be class president again.
Hannah has also been an honor student and a leader in her 7th grade class. She has been chosen to represent Altus Junior High as a cheerleader again next year and elected to be President of the student Council.
As for me, i am on facebook now and having a blast reconnecting with many friends all over the country that I met along our journey in the air force. Its great to be back in touch.
