Pictures say it all.

This picture is of Becca and Tessa at Solo and Ensemble contest. As I told you before, they got a Superior.

This is me last Wednesday, as I got home. I have been selected as the "Volunteer of the Year" for Laura's middle school. I had to fill out a very long questionaire and now it will go to the district level. If I win there, I will have to go on to the State. I can't believe it. The cool thing is, it came just when I needed it. I have had a very rough week and though the work was hard, it made my life seem much better. It's nice to know that I am apprectiated by so many. It has made me feel "loved" and that I am making a difference in the lives of my students.

Here I am this morning. I finished my third 5k. It was tough, but I did it. This time, I ran it on my own (well, me and Nichole Nordaman). I had Nicole's music playing on my mp3 and it helped so much. I don't know my time just yet as it won't be posted until later. Thanks for all who called and rooted me on.

Here is my Becca again, at Contest. I thought this picture was cute because, if you notice, she took her shoes off.

This afternoon, we are off to see "Horton Hears a Who". I encourage all of you to go and see it. We are really excited because, our nephew, Matthew, is one of the animators. We are going to watch each and every credit, in order to see his name. Way to go Matty!!!!!

I hope all of you have a restful and peaceful weekend.
