This morning was the Terrific Kid celebration at the elementary school. Ryan was picked as the Terrific Kid for his class for the whole term!!! Very proud parents here. He got to get an Arby's bag with a bumper sticker, pencil, badge, sticker, etc. and FOUR doughnuts. (Luckily, we'll miss the sugar buzz while he's in class.) [pictures coming soon]
Report cards came last week & Christopher was picked for the honor roll. The last paragraph on the letter was kinda cheesy -- "We hope you will maintain your interest in school, preserve your hard work, & continue to enjoy academic success -- because at Mauldin Middle, we 'EXPECT THE BEST!' from our students." Seriously though, we are really excited that Chris has figured it out & is doing his homework & getting good grades. [picture coming soon] He is also working at getting his Eagle -- he just needs to decide on a project & wait for the time requirement.
While at Terrific Kids I ran into one of Chris' friend's mom. Back in October, her husband had a massive heart attack & died in front of her. I wanted to call but never felt like I knew what to say so I just (mistakenly) said nothing. To her she felt like I just didn't care. I cried for days & felt so horribly for her & her 3 children, but I never called. Next time, next friend, next chance -- I promise I will call... or hug... or just say something. She is not bitter or anything but I wish that I would have called earlier.
And finally, my shoulder is killing me! (So I am sitting at the computer keyboard typing... go figure.) I went to physical therapy yesterday & while trying to figure out what was wrong, everything got irritated. Here's hoping for better days ahead (or at least good pain killers).

Oh my goodness, I have been on painkillers since sunday morning at 2:00 am. Sometimes being a woman has it's consequences. I was sooo nauseous during stake conference, I just had to leave. How embarrasing would it have been to be sick all over Reuben? He's scary enough already, I didn't want him to be mad at me too. (don't want to give him a reason O_O )
Congrats Ryan and Chris on Terrific Kid and Honor Roll! Happy belated birthday Ryan! Sorry about your shoulder Jenna. I hope it feels better soon.
I finally caught up on reading your blog today. Loved your bucket list. I'll have to do that with Dennis one of these days.
