This is what your face looks like when you realize you lost by just 7 points! David drives trucks for a living and this past Saturday our state had their State Truck Driving Championship. Unfortunately this is the only photo I got from that day. I did have a few pics of him driving but they called another persons name so I didn't think it was really him and I erased the photos. Turned out it was him and he did great -- probably because I wasn't watching! At the banquet, they announced that there were only 7 points separating the top 2 finishers in his class. He came in second! I was so
proud of him. If he had won, he'd have gone to the National Championship and this year it is in Houston, Texas. I was a little
leery of him winning because the
Nationals are usually around the first week of school in August meaning I'd either miss his competition or Olivia's first day of Kindergarten. But one great thing about the
Nationals being in Houston I could have tried hard to meet my awesome e-friend Marla for the very first time! Also, I would have been able to meet up with a
travel mate from Olivia's adoption. Oh well, I am still very proud of my hubby!
Well, Olivia had the first of her graduations earlier this month -- her Pre-K graduation. While I am VERY proud of her, I had mixed emotions about this graduation. I tried not to make a huge deal out of it but other things/people did. I know others may disagree with me I just feel like kids today have too many graduations (here they have Pre-K, Kindergarten, 5th and 8th grades) and by the time they hit high school it becomes "just another graduation" to them and I want my kids to value their education and know that high school and college graduations are the most important. Anyway, they had a graduation (complete with cap and gown) and a program showcasing some things they learned in school this year -- they did song of the days of the week to the tune of the Adam's Family, Months of the year to the Makarena, the Pledge of Allegiance and a few other things that are escaping me at the moment.
