Dylan goes to Prom!







 Tonight Dylan’s school had Unified Prom! He chose to wear his wedding tux but he wanted to wear a different shirt and shoes. He chose the yellow short sleeved shirt and no tie because “it was hot and no choke”. He decided to wear his tennis shoes so “his feet don’t hurt”. He had a fun time. He said he danced and did tricks. He don’t eat any of the snacks or drinks m, but he did eat Chick fil a at home before leaving. All in all, it seems he had a fun time!

Easter

 He is Risen!


We started the day with cinnamon rolls for breakfast! We celebrated Easter at Church of Cane Bay! In the afternoon, Helen, Jim, and Shane came over to our house. We had a traditional Easter dinner with ham, massed potatoes, sweet potato soufflĂ©, green peas (for Helen, Chris, and Jim), deviled eggs, and rolls. For dessert Helen made banana pudding and brownies!

Soccer and gardening

 Soccer has started. Austin was team captain. 



I planted tomatoes and cucumber today! I also planted some saliva around the palm tree  in the back. I am hopeful to make that area into a flower bed. I’ll visit Lowe’s again soon.  



Teacher Besties


 My teacher bestie, Misty, from CBE that also lived in Charleston moved to Arizona 4 years ago! Last Thursday, she and her husband John (also friends with Chris) came to Charleston to visit!! Chris and I met up with them!! We had such a wonderful time catching up and reminiscing! Misty and I probably text each other at least 2 or 3 times per week, but it was so FUN to talk to her in person!! Hopeful that Chris and I can visit them in Arizona one day!!


Times in the past either in date days or school shenanigans!

Spring Break

Over Spring Break Austin and I (as chaperone) were about to go to Disney since his high school choir competed in Festival Disney. We walked about 37 miles in total. he and I rode a multitude of rides and had a a lot of fun!! We learned patience and appreciation too! We were able to try a variety of foods for lunch and dinner as well as snacks. 











































 

Our Concert Choir, comprised of students from all 5 of our standing choirs, came together for this one performance and competition!  The choir competed against schools from Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, Virginia, Florida, and even another school from South Carolina.We received a Superior Rating and were named "Best in Class" (winners) of the Mixed Choir division out of 9 choirs from those states!With a score of 96.7 the choir earned the Silver Award (2nd place overall) for all choirs that performed and were just .6 points away from first! Overall, there were 14 choirs competing in the festival.  We also got to enjoy all 4 of the Disney parks while we were there! The choir picture at Magic Kingdom was magical because it was taken the "rope drop" fireworks in front of the castle!
