First on my list to report is OUR FLOORS CAME IN!! WAY earlier than we thought (although 6 weeks later than we ORIGINALLY thought). Anyway, they’re cozy in our dining room getting acclimated to the Bennett household, or so they tell me. Scott is working all weekend anyway so it will be Monday before the big change happens. I am a tad disappointed in the pattern in the wood. It’s different than the sample we had but there’s no going back now and I do like the color so it will work out.
Second, Scott’s award ceremony was very nice and he received a nice trophy/plaque thingy for his Troop award but he did not receive the state award. But let me tell you, there were 9 other candidates from around the state and the biographies they read for each one were SO impressive. I have no idea how the board was able to choose…the guy that won had something about being in a refugee camp growing and being paralyzed and now mentoring children so I’m guessing he may deserve it. In all seriousness, they ALL deserved it. Scott is bummed out. Mainly because the guy that won it is a communications officer and doesn’t actually work on the road. Administration positions are also considered in the running. But I’m still really proud. Scott’s biography was just as impressive as the others and he should not be disappointed one bit.
Third, the party tonight was very small but fun…and very long. I think everyone finally gave up around 9pm. We did a makeup party and there was a video and such and it was actually kind of helpful. I think we all learned a technique or two we didn’t know about. For me, let’s just say concealer and bronzer are my new best friends.
Fourth and finally, it’s now 10:29 and I still have 2.5 hrs of tv to watch so here I go…
