Transitions
Well, things are winding down here. After two insanely busy weeks, it’s oddly quiet. There are two more regular weeks of school before finals, but all the concerts and special events are over. This isn’t a big transition year for us- my daughter is finishing her freshman year of high school and my son finished his junior year of college (EEP. Next year at this time we will be at Baylor FOR HIS GRADUATION- I seriously can’t wrap my mind around it.) I have to admit I’m still a little sad. My daughter will never be a freshman in high school again- she’s now 1/4 done and it goes so fast. One of the big events was the band banquet. There’s food, dancing, and awards. My daughter won the Outstanding Freshman award! I took a picture of her plaque to send to my son. He won the same award as a freshman, and responded with this photo to remind me what Angie did to the picture of HIS plaque six years ago: Ah, kids. So supportive of each other. Anyway, the banquet is a dressy occasion. Here’s a photo of my daughter and her friend before the event: And in case you were wondering- no, the theme of the banquet wasn’t “The Addams Family.” The girls just, ahem, decided to dress like that. The black outfit went well with my daughter’s blue hair. Moving on! Another transition is the change of seasons. In South Florida, this is not a good thing. Let’s take a look at our weather forecast- pay special attention to Wednesday. BLARG!!! 98 degrees??? I have a TWENTY MILE run on Wednesday! I’m going to DIE!!! Okay, I won’t be running in the hottest part of the day- but I have to drop my daughter off at school so I can’t start until 7:30, so… yes, it’s going to be hot. And don’t forget about the humidity. Seriously, it’s not going to be pretty. We had such a lovely winter, and now we’re going to pay the price. Are you enjoying the change of seasons? – If the answer is yes, you definitely don’t live in Florida. What was your favorite year of high school? – Sophomore year!
