Somehow we’ve managed to get to the last week of school already.  My oldest child is about to put her first year of high school in the record books.  That’s a hard one to swallow!  I know I say this every year, but this literally IS the fastest school year ever!  She’s in the throws of final exams the next few days and will gracefully transition into swim team every morning, golf practices, soccer camp, and a week-long mission trip to West Virginia.  Trading in her awesome soccer sock tan for a swim team tan.  No doubt she will still make time for TV watching and friends!

Last night I attended the Olathe Northwest soccer banquet with Morgan.  I’m officially a professional banquet attender.  I might just hit a few more random ones just because I’m feeling so comfortable with it now!  It’s always the same food – salad, pasta, bread, and cake.  I could use a change in menu from time to time!  The other kids are left at home to fend for themselves.  This time I received no phone calls from home, so it’s a win!This banquet was pretty uneventful, no speeches filled with tears from seniors or coaches, just teary-eyed parents in the audience and a bunch of giggly soccer girls looking adorable all dressed up.To you, Morgan, thank you for never giving up on your love of soccer even though I know there were some very trying times this season.  You have this incredibly amazing way of rising above adversity.  For that, I could never be more proud.  There are a million other reasons why I’m proud, but we’d be here all night!Happy Summer Baby Girl!

Congrats to these Lady Ravens who finished the season strong with a 10-0 victory over Free State high school!  Sorry MoMo, we were a little obnoxious in the stands when you scored a goal – that’s what we’re supposed to do – embarrass you!
