For Day 27 (the 27th) I thought I would commemorate our marriage - August 27th - and this year it will be 27 years - wow that went by fast. We had Zippity Do Da as one of our songs and our colors were red, yellow, and purple - a very festive occasion. The beads are for the dots that decorated our cake like dotted swiss fabric...
Well, this is kind of blurry! It is suppose to be a palm frond for Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. You can't see it clearly but it also says "I am".Finally our BIG dealio this weekend. Casey was gone for a few days to the Key Club Convention. He gave up his district office and wrapped up a wonderful year of meeting new friends and learning so many things. On Saturday a thick envelope came for him from one of his college choices...
So, this morning when we got home I had some pancakes ready for him - USC's colors are gold and red (crimson) so the pancake is the gold and the red lettering. We gave him his pancake and he smiled.He later said he thought it was just me sending him good thoughts for this week which is decision week for many schools...
Here is his official certificate - too cool...
and here is his official joy - way too cool... He has been accepted to USC, UCLA, Western, and UW, each has offered some aid based on academic merit - he is still waiting to hear from Penn and then we will make a decision... what fun!
What a meaningful addition to your sampler Ros...well done. Congrats to Casey too...that is just awesome!
ReplyDeletei remember your festive wedding, the bright colors, the smiling people and the wonderment of being my age and thinking you were something of a princess, pursuing her dream. and now, look where your dreams have taken you. congrats to Casey, can't wait to learn which school he chooses.
ReplyDeleteIt gives me the shivers seeing that USC document with his name on it. I didn't know he had two middle names, so does Ian. The world is truly his oyster!!
