Why Yes, I AM a Stalker

15 National Merit Semifinalist |
Thank for the wave Will D. |
Just in case you don't know about National Merit, 1.5 million are considered. 50,000 are initially chosen as National Merit scholars, then this month they narrow it down to 16,000 across the nation for the National Merit Semis. These students are in the top 1% in the nation. Pretty cool if you ask me. We'll find out in January if Hop makes it to the final 8,000. There are several moving parts, and I can't remember them all, but I'm just proud of him for getting this far. Don't get me wrong, I'm selfish, and want him to get finalist. :)

Anyway, during the pep rally I was a total stalker. I was snapping pictures left and right: document document document. I hear the Bryan Adams song, 'Summer of '69' playing in my head. "Yeah we were killin' time; we were young and restless and needed to unwind; I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no...Those were the best days of my life.". The only problem is, a lot of them don't realize that these are some great days. Again, document, document, document.

The Rockettes had me laughing. They all asked if the picture would make the blog...yes, Anslee, this is your 4th time, but for sure not the last! :) Will D. caught me staking & waved. Thanks Will, you made me smile. I knew you were talking about me, but it better be nice things. Of course E wanted her pictures with all her big sisters. Sweet girls & guys!!! I love y'all. You will always have a special place in my heart.

PS~ I know in the picture at the top I look as tall as Hopson, just know that I have my monster heels on that make me 5 inches taller. :)
So happy and excited at the same time for Hopson. What an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Hopson! So proud for him and your family!
