What A Week!

We have had quite an exciting week around here! On Monday, our oldest daughter was inducted into the National Honor Society. As if that isn't neat enough on it's own, it is also the very first NHS group for Boulder Creek High School. Cool! She was also elected to the Student Government for her senior year. Since Boulder Creek is a new High School, she'll get to participate in many "firsts". In fact, her class next year will be the first seniors to graduate from Boulder Creek.

Last night, our youngest daughter graduated from 8th grade and is now officially a freshman in High School! (I still can't believe I have two kids in High school now!!) She had a great year at Gavilan Peak. She was on the yearbook staff, played Basketball for the Lady Firebirds and was a manager for the girls Softball team. She also received the Firebird Spirit award. This award was voted on by the teachers, so we were very proud of her for receiving it.

Since this was our first year in Arizona, our biggest worry was how the girls would adjust after such a drastic move. Well, they've both done great! They both have jumped right into the youth group at church, have made lots of friends and done well at school. We could not be happier and we are proud of them both. Today is the last official day of school. We are now ready to enjoy the summer!

On another note, I'm thrilled that Taylor won American Idol! I have to admit that I was totally hooked on AI this season. There were lots of good singers on the show this year, but Taylor was the only one that I could imagine actually buying his CD. Yea, Taylor!!!

My favorite show, "24", also wrapped up this week. I was a little disappointed with the wrap up of this story line. I wanted to see the bad guy get punished! But they did give us a HUGE cliff hanger. Now we have to wait until next January to see what happens to Jack. Oh well, I just hope he gets a little sleep before his next "worst day ever" begins! ; )

Even my guilty pleasure, "Smallville", is over for the year. Now I have to wait till the fall to watch Clark Kent move even closer to his destiny as Superman and to see Lex Luthor become the evil villain we all know he is!

Don't know what I'm going to do with myself now that my three TV addictions are over with for the year. On second thought, I hope I'll spend lots of time traveling and hanging out by the pool with my family and friends! Happy summer, everyone!
