Yesterday was the state-wide Poetry Out Loud Contest in Reno. Andrew went his junior and senior years to represent Churchill county, but didn't place at state.
Sarah came in 2nd place state-wide! She lost to a girl who has won the last 3 years in a row. At last week's family dinner she was practicing one of her poems and I thought she was really good, so I'm not surprised.
Our nephew's daughter, Tessa, was blessed in Utah today. What a great occasion. Too bad we don't live closer so we could attend.
Ryan has had 2 swim meets and Hannah has had 2 track meets. They are having a great time and we're really happy that they can participate in these sports where you are racing against your old scores. Hannah is really in some pain from shin splints but manage to "PR" she told me...I needed a translation. PR stands for Personal Record...so she beat her times from last week in discus, shot-put, and 100 meter dash. Can I just say it's rainy and cold and miserable today. I'm so glad the track meet was yesterday when it was just windy. Ryan PRed in 100 freestyle (1 min 7 sec).
Eric is on spring break from the community college this week. Of course everyone else still has a month before we have our spring break, but that's OK.
I managed to find housing at BYU for Andrew that is super-close to 2 of his cousins, so we are excited about that. Alicia was kind enough to do some footwork for us and we sure appreciate her help. Now, we have 2 weeks for Andrew to figure out what classes he wants to take so I can get him signed up for them.
I still can't believe that it's time for Andrew to come home!
ReplyDeleteWow--go, Perazzo's!
ReplyDelete(Craig and I got to registar for Jared--too fun. We signed him up for BYU Men's Choir, Ballroom Dance...whatever we liked!)
Andrew's mission has gone quickly, but now that the end is almost here, I'm afraid the last months will drag. June certainly will.
ReplyDeleteIf I could sign Andrew up for one class, I want him to take a 2 credit cooking class that I found. I told him about it, but I doubt he'll be able to fit it into his schedule.
