Scholarship? Hopefully?

I couldn't resist posting another senior picture from Brandon's gallery. Perhaps because we scurried around the last few days to get all the information together to apply for a scholarship from our church. Today was the deadline, and I was at church at 4:30 hand-delivering the application. Nothing like "cutting it close!" Our best friend, Melody, was gracious enough to write a letter of recommendation; and Brandon's Arch CAD teacher wrote the other letter. That and his official transcript were the last pieces of the puzzle. Now we are praying that he gets some money - his college education is going to be expensive, and we just don't have much money to help him. He's going to have to make it on scholarships, loans and working. I know he'll be successful because he's proved to us the last few years of working at Leeker's that he has a good work ethic. That's one thing he got from both me and his dad. We are very honest, dependable hard workers, and I hope we've instilled that in our children. Kaleb and Kaitlin are showing the same work ethic so far, even though they've only been working a little over a month! Can you tell we are proud of our kids?!?!? LOVE YOU GUYS!

Rain, rain, go away! We have had a very rainy spring, and the 10 day forecast shows rain for the next 8 days! YUCK!!!!!

My quote for today comes from Proverbs 22:6 -- "Train a child in the way he should go, and when is is old he will not turn from it." I think this quote is pertinent to today's post.

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
