Our Weekend

On Friday Connor, Kara, and Mom woke up very early (4:30am to be exact:) and headed up to Veritas for the Washington D.C. fieldtrip. The Lord cleared out the rain that had been in the area for the past week and gave them a beautiful day for D.C. on Friday. Kara was on one bus and Connor and mom were on another. Connor's group went to the Holocost museum, National Archives, and Mount Vernon, and Kara's group went to the Air and Space and National History Museums. They all said they had a great time, but were very tired when finally arriving home at 11:30pm. On Saturday Kaitlin worked all day. Because the sun finally came out Enchanted Forest Nursery and Stone was a hoppin place. It seemed everyone was out to get plants, stone, or mulch on that day (I will try to post some pictures soon of my new job). The rest of the fam stayed home an worked around the house both inside and out. We all enjoyed a very tasty and relaxing meal at Chilis that night together as a family. On Sunday right after church we went to the induction ceremony for the Phi Theta Kappa Tidewater Community College honor society. Kaitlin is now a member of the honor society at TCC. Afterwards we went to a restaurant called Pirates Cove to celebrate. We ordered fried calamari, hushpuppies, apple booty (like apple pie:), turtle cheesecake, and a brownie sundae. We all shared everything and it was so yummy (not to mention loaded with carbs, but lets not think about that right now:)!!

Hey Kait,
Definatly put the honors thing on any scholorship applications and college applications (when you transfer from TCC).

You should look up scholorships. There are many scholorships out there for military people's kids and there are probably some for the specific branch your Dad was in!

See you at singles tonight!
