Todd, Austin and I had the pleasure of attending Golden Sierra's Scholarship Night. When I was in high school, you used to have to sit through a horribly long graduation ceremony, only to have one or two braniac kids take home all the loot, but schools got smart and separated this portion of graduation into its own ceremony. So, Alexxa received notice that she would be a recipient of a scholarship and so Todd and I were excited to go and get her some money (finally money that wasn't ours!). Driving up to the high school we took guesses at what scholarship she had won...we all agreed it would have something to do with soccer. What would be your guess? Are you dying to know?
The ceremony started off with Alexxa receiving a CSF Lifetime Membership certificate and pin for being in CSF for at least 6 semesters. She then received a scholarship from Marshall Medical for $500 to help her pursue her interest in nursing/medicine and the evening ended with her receiving another scholarship from Cool Charity for her outstanding community service for $200. No soccer scholarship, it went to a wonderful little gal who plays recreational soccer and refs here on the divide. We are so proud of Alexxa and all her hard work, and we are equally as proud of Austin for going to support his baby sister at her event - even if we did have to bribe him with Chinese Buffet :)
What I'm thankful for today:
The most awesome family ever
Cheesy potatoes - otherwise called potatoes au gratin
Movies with a good message
