We survived Blue & Gold... and a baptism

It just seems that one event runs into the next. We got a new camera, and Steve downloaded the pictures, but I can't seem to find them. I will update asap.

This Tuesday was our Blue & Gold banquet. We had almost a hundred people, and despite my near nervous breakdown, it all worked out. We had lots of food, fun and awards. Josh did earn his Wolf badge and got to wear the famous wolf ears. He also earned a gold arrow point- now I just have to get them on the uniform.

Wednesday was the normal mutual and scout chaos. Thursday was piano, and Friday my officers and I went to FMS to compete in a licorice eating contest between the grade levels and the "staff" which my officers and I got to be a part of. They invited my officers after they helped put on a leadership training a few weeks back. After that, Steve, Shawna and I traveled down to the Tri-Cities for the MLHS vs Mead girls basketball playoff game. It was a nail biter, but MLHS won and is going on to state starting Wednesday.

Then on Saturday, we traveled to Wenatchee to take part in my neice Rachel's baptism. It was another huge family event. It was happy but very busy. We all went back to Greg and Michelle Blackburn's house for cake and ice cream afterwards. There had to be at least 4o people in the house. We got home right around midnight last night.

Whew. This next week will require me to pull together a state sendoff assembly for our girls' basketball team. Other than that (and the normal chaos), we are on the countdown to Hawaii. (30 days!) It is what keeps me going. Love to you all. Have a terrific week! Deb

I seriously don't know how you all do it... sounds busy, busy, busy. I'm glad to hear Rachel's baptism was good. We wish we could have come. :o( Hang in there, Hawaii isn't that far away. :o)
