We
are doing good, the third semester begins this week! That means we are
half way through the school year! Stefanie's grades were awesome
again, all As and Bs, hooray! She is excited about her new classes,
especially Drivers Ed.
Lehi
Varsity Basketball had a rough week, the first week of region play, two
games this week and they lost BOTH of them to American Fork and Lone
Peak. But the good news is that Dad's JV team is still undefeated!
They are on fire! This week they will take on Pleasant Grove and
Riverton. Dad says if they want to make the playoffs they must win at
least ONE of those games. Good luck, Lehi!
We
have had a few neighbors move away! I have lots of new primary kids in
the ward. Just in the last few months the Drakes, Whatcotts, Shavers
and Sindts all moved away. Stefanie and I went this week to meet our
new neighbors across the street, the Cardells. We took over some
brownies and visited with them for awhile. Nice young family, they have
two cute little kids.
Lehi
is growing fast…many new housing developments going up around us. We
were recently listed as the 5th fastest growing city in the nation! We
also found out that property has been purchased for a THIRD high school.
Wow! The second high school is under construction, looking very nice,
it will be completed in 18 months. It is near where Rachel and George
live.
So
how would you like to play college soccer in Iowa? We were surprised
to get a message from Coach MacRae this week. Also, we heard back from
the UVA (Virginia) coach, he wanted to come meet with us last Saturday
but Dad told him you were not interested. We hear from Coach Atkinson
every so often, we need to get some paperwork started there, but we are
waiting until the end of February to see if you get accepted to BYU. If
so, you will have a tough decision to make! Going to BYU would mean you
could extend your mission an extra transfer if you decide to do that.
But going to Western Wyoming would mean you would need to return home
as scheduled. Coach Atkinson wrote...
"We
start our training camp on August 2nd. Braden would be required to
move up to his dorm in Rock Springs at that time. We run this training
camp until school begins on August 26th."
Well, that is all our news for this week! We love you so much! Keep working hard! Love, Mom
