These next few posts will be all about Katie!
And that's OK because it is her time to shine right now. Let's face it that doesn't happen very often in our lives!
Tuesday night was "Senior Night of Excellence".
They highlight each senior and recognize some of their achievements and awards as well as announce some of the scholarships.
Katie received numerous honors, unfortunately none of them were really attached to a dollar amount :)
Just to mention a few:
She received student of the year in math, social studies, and agriculture (a future farmer lol), she was awarded the "Wendy's Heisman Program Outstanding Athlete/Citizen", "Department of Air Force Outstanding Math and Science", the "2011 Agricultural Accomplishment Award, "Central Wa. B League Scholar Athlete Medal as well as some other smaller awards.
I was proud.
Tonight was Baccalaureate. It was at a local church here in Pateros. The pastor there tried to speak some words of wisdom but really, I don't think too many of them are paying much attention! :)
I got only a couple pictures. I was disappointed because when Brian and Kyle graduated we took pictures after the service of the entire class in their gowns, I found out that they took them before this year and so I missed that chance, sigh.
Here is Katie and a couple friends enjoying some cake after
me and Katie...
Phew, 2 down 1 to go!
Tomorrow is my Wenatchee day and hope I don't forget anything.
Friday is my go to the school and help set-up, clean the house, laundry, cook, and just plain "go crazy" day.
Super excited for everyone to start arriving, Mom, Dad, Brian, Chantelle, David, Tiffany, Sean, Elena, Ashleigh as well as all our family (Toolson's) and other friends who will celebrate with us Saturday.
I truly wish you all could be here.
The words to the Dixie Chicks song "Wide Open Spaces" fill my head. Have you heard that one? The words are awesome, and so appropriate right now, but kinda hard to listen too...
"She needs wide open spaces,
Room to make her big mistakes,
She needs new faces,
She knows the high stakes..."

Amazing job Katie getting all those awards. You'll have to adopt Shannon's motto this next week Becky - Keep Calm & Carry On!
Good motto for life! ;)
I already knew Katie was amazing... happy all of those award-givers know it, too! ;) Congratulations!
(And Becky - did you have to post those lyrics? I try not to think about that song... or "Slipping Through My Fingers" by Abba... sniff.)
I am a little late, but a HUGE congratulations to Katie and all her successes.
WIsh we could have been there to help celebrate.
I thought I had commented already!!
CONGRATS KATIE!! We love you!!
