GRADUATION!!!

Well, she is finally graduated! Although, I am a bit sad......
But, I am so proud of her. She has accomplished a lot in school. A lot more than I ever thought possible. She is one very determined young woman, with a very strong will. My independent child from day one! I can still remember her saying when she was a toddler, "NO! ME DO IT!!" It still brings a smile to my face even though I remember the frustration at the time.


She has done a lot this past year. She was raised in rank in the Airforce Jr. ROTC to Cadet Major. She was again chosen as ambassador to the Knox County Career Center (2nd year). She played varsity volleyball and lettered again. She did indoor track during the winter and placed 8th in the state in long jump. She also did spring track and was voted MVP for the Mid-Buckeye Conference in running events, and the girls team also won the MBC meet!! She received the Marines Distinguised Athlete Award, and was awarded the Wendy's Heisman award for the Knox County Career Center. She does look good in red, doesn't she?!

Mid-Buckeye Conference MVPs!!

Sarah and Kaitlyn Newkirk were named MVP's of the track meet; Sarah - Running Events and Kaitlyn - Field events. An exciting night! Sarah came in 1st in the 100 meter and 200 meter dash, tied for 2nd in the long jump and received 3rd place in the high jump. Kaitlyn won 1st place in the high jump - broke the record tied by Sarah last year (5'2") with a jump of 5'2 1/2", 1st place (tying the record set last year by Corrine Salva) in pole vault with a jump of 9', 1st place in the 400 meter dash and 5th place with the 4x400 meter relay team.





The girls team also were the MBC champs!! Woo Hoo!!!

Froggy...

Today my voice started out normal and by the time I got to work I was pretty froggy sounding and by the time I left I was VERY froggy. I didn't make it to Spanish class tonight. Sorry Missy!! I came home and ate dinner, cleaned up and parked my tush in the recliner and didn't do much after that. Not sure if it is allergies kickin' in or if it is another bug I am trying to fight off. We will have to wait and see...

We are very blessed....

Monster Trucks

Ran went to the Monster truck show last night and this is what I created from his pictures and movies. What do ya think?

Birthday and State Track Meet

Today is my oldest baby's birthday! Happy Birthday Missy!!! We love you! :-)

Well Sarah took 7th place in the long jump at state with a jump of 15'5". She also took 13th place in both the 60 meter dash and the high jump. It was a very early drive in thick fog to get us there by 8:30 so she could get warmed up to jump at 9:30. We didn't make it back home until about 3:30.

Wow! What a month this has been!!

Well, I know I haven't been on here much for a quite a while now...almost as bad as my daughter! Ha! Ha! Sorry Missy!! But figured I needed to update my age since I have had a birthday...awwww another year closer to 50! Ran hits 50 this year so I will have to have a big party for him. Can't wait!! I have had a time for over a month now with this nasty cold thing that has been going around. I also took a tumble here at home and kind of messed up my knee, hip and rib cage on the left side. Nothing like slipping on ice and coming down hard on your knee and ramming every thing up into your hip, bouncing off your hip and landing on your ribs! I bounce pretty good! LOLOLO!!! I still can't figure out my landings...having trouble with those! Ran said he was going to buy me a walker and a skooter...then busted out laughing! What a booger!

We had over 20 inches of snow last week. It was pretty but very dangerous to drive in. The week before we had a huge ice storm. Check out my picture of our maple tree at the top of the page. I am hoping spring is around the corner! I am ready to start planting in the garden!!

Pray for my mom. She is having a lot of severe pain in her neck again and had to go have an MRI done today. She is afraid she will have to have surgery again. But if it will fix her and take away the pain it would be worth it. It just continually gets worse and worse and she has to take more and more pain meds and that isn't good! Her brother Raymond is having a lot of problems too, so keep him inn your prayers too.

Gotta run...Blessings....
