February Break!!! Yeah!

It is time for the February Break. My class has been passing around several illnesses and now Brittany also succumbed to an illness this week. She is only doing a little better, but tonight her school had a Winter Dance and she did not want to miss it.


Brittany has been busy and this week she competed with her team in League Cheerleading Competition. The team did okay but the great news is Brittany made the 2nd team All-Stars. It is a great accomplishment for a Freshmen. She has a new coach and has been a little frustrated this season, but the hard work has paid off.

Carissa also competed in Solo Fest this last week. She was so nervous. She really did not want to do it but her music teacher encouraged her to try. We had more than a few tears the morning she had to play. I tried to tell her of a traumatic experience I had playing the piano for at church and then making a mistake. I thought the world had come to an end, but everyone was nice and told me I did well. She did very well also on her music and scored high. She was so glad when it was over.

Well, I also go back for a nutrition appointment on Monday. I am doing really well with my attempts to change my eating habits. I have cut out Diet soda except for the occasional soda when we go out to eat. I know I have lost weight. However, I still need to get in more exercise. I need to work on that part.

Happy Valentine's Day!
