The last week or two
4-11-06
The last couple of weeks have gone by in a hurry. Top it off with me being very sick with some upper respiratory infection (those ALWAYS trigger my panic attacks, so it's been fun) along with some very exciting events in our house and it makes for a big jumbled up mess.
I don't know how long its been since I've blogged, but the last thing I REMEMBER blogging about was my trip to see DeMarcus. Alot has happened since then, but only a few things are blog worthy.
First, Kyra made National Honor Society!!! We're really proud of her for her work at school and if we can get her to keep up the work she's been doing here at home, she'll be home free! She's been doing better, not great, but better and thats really all I'm looking for right now. Every little bit counts. Things are still touch and go with her mom, but she's still trying.
Two weeks ago Ryan broke the school and relay record for the hi-jump. She didn't just break it a little, she SHATTERED it. The old record of 5ft 3 inches was set in 1993. She won the meet with a jump of 5ft 8inches. Her previous best was only 5ft 2inches, though she'd still been winning most of her meets. I'll scan in the picture of her that was in the paper... it's a great picture and way better than any I took.
Then, it was time for the basketball banquet. Ryan made the District 15-4A First Team All District Team and won the award for the most rebounds.
Then, the next weekend (April 1st) was prom weekend. DeMarcus was in town for a trackmeet but he was jumping at 4 and Ryan was leaving for prom at 6:30 so that was a bust. But we got to spend the morning and early afternoon with him so I was happy. Of course I cried when I left, and I've got to learn not to do that, especially when he has to go directly to his event. My heart just hurts for him and I can't help it.
Then it was time for Ryan to get ready for prom. She had a great time and her date, KC, was a true gentleman. He looked great in his tux (black, with a silver vest) and they looked wonderful together. They've been close friends for two years but that's about it. Friends. She's got her eyes on someone else and has for a loooooooooooooooong time.
I would post pics but when I try to edit the sizes of them for some reason it doesn't edit the actual size of the picture it only shows a corner of it or something. Blah. kdgr
