Life

We have finished so many activities and so many more to go!! Since our last blog gretchen has made the 7th grade girls basketball team!!! Did we doubt that she wouldn't ? Noway!!! That girl has awesome Indiana skills!! She fears no one and no height is too grande for her to conquer. First basketball game was last Wednesday...against Coppell North. Ugly it was.... those girls have been playing since school started. Our team just got accomplished and established. Oh well...first loss. gretchen ran hard and figured out no scoring for her but steals and many asissts were her game. She was extremely whooped by the time the game was done. Yeah Gretchen.

On another note , Stephanie and her drumline drew competed in the Lonestar Competitions and varsity came in second of ??? 50 ??/ The JV came in 16 out of 26. Cool!!! All were very pleased ..now onto sectional competition for soloists. That is Dec. 6th!!! ALl is well with that. Now onto college discussions. What!!!!!??? yes. SHe has changed her thoughts of what she was going into for school. Her original idea a vet... but now is changed to an elementary teacher. Here is discussion... Mom...Yes... I have had so many non=teaching teachers...I want to make a difference somewhere in the system that I will be in. I had great 4 and 5th grade teachers that if it wasn't for them who knows what ... Well, you know they don't make as much as vets.... Yes.. But mom...I can do so much with teaching. Okay GO FOR IT. Now we have had counselor talks already...letting us know all the requirements etc.. what college TX has... Oh we won't be going here...Stephanie wants to go to UTAH. Oh...the counselor says. BYU? Yes...says Stephanie. Good for you she says. Now she is going to study for SAT tests for Jan. Yeah!!! Mom is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited.
