New Eagle Scout!

Last night was snowy, cold and very memorable! We drove to Monroe in horrible conditions, but it was worth it. Derrick will be an Eagle Scout! Yeah!

Eaglemania!

This summer our whole life has revolved around "The Eagle Project"! We have talked about it every day for months and months and months - and now it is winding down to the end. Last night Derrick and I worked on the final report and getting his sash updated with merit badges. He has earned 5 in the last few months (which he will be given tonight) and once they are on the sash, and he gets thru his Eagle Board of Review tonight, and turns in the project tomorrow, it will be out of our hands. Weird feeling!

But now we have to move on to ACT/SAT testing, senior pictures, and hopefully planning an Eagle Court of Honor!

I'm so glad that I live in this beautiful world Heavenly Father created for me . .

While I was waiting for one of my bosses to get off of the phone so that I could answer her question, I went to the window to look out. It was a blustery day with a break in the rain and some actual sunshine peeking thru. As I stood there a single leaf dashed past the window, then sky rocketed about 20 more feet in the air twisting and twirling on its way. As quickly as it had appeared it disappeared from view about 4 blocks away. I was thinking how lucky I was that I was at the window at that exact moment when it reappeared descending from above me somewhere. It danced and played for another minute before it was gone again. Fall is here . . . I will miss the sunshine . . . but dancing leaves are fun also!

Test Post

I'm posting this to test it out and make sure all of the font settings are to my liking. We'll see how it goes. Again this is a test. .... this is only a test.

Boda Bing!
