Pretty good week

This has been a pretty good week. I am just about totally caught up with my typing. Brittanie has been promoted to First Sgt. in JROTC, which is the position she was hoping for. And best of all, we got this letter in the mail Friday:

If you can't read it, just click on it to make it bigger. Basically, it says Brittanie has been chosen to be a student ambassador and has the opportunity to go to England, Wales, and Ireland next summer. She was so excited. I went on the website and the drawback is money. We can spend $1000 on this but I'm sure it will be more. It didn't say what the cost would be so we are going to the parents meeting at Midlands Tech on November 6th at 3pm to find out all the information. The problem is that though this is a GREAT opportunity for her and we would love for her to go and she would love to go, she wants her car next September and spending too much money on a 20 day trip would make it impossible to get the car. I wish I had a rich relative to sponsor it. hehehe But we aren't giving up hope. We are going to the meeting and find out everything before we make any decisions. But it was such a honor for her to be chosen.

Also, Brittanie has her first official high school sweetheart. His name is William Culick and he is from Gaston and is a sophomore with her at Swansea High School. He is in the JROTC program and VERY serious about it like Brittanie is. They have been getting to know each other for a month and a half and Friday he asked her to be his girlfriend. You know they say girls often look for guys like their daddy? Well William is tall, slim, dark brown hair, and green eyes....just like her daddy. He has been very respectful of her and just so sweet. I'm happy she found someone like him because there are so many losers out there that have only one thing in mind and we all know what that is. Most drink and do drugs. I've done my research and William is considered a "geek" because he doesn't do any of those things. Well I married a geek and I couldn't be happier. Anyway, here is a picture of her and William taken at Swansea's homecoming football game Friday night. This was taken with her camera phone so it isn't the best quality. By the way, since they don't have their class rings yet, William gave her the necklace that he is wearing in his picture. Brittanie said she has NEVER seen him without this necklace on so it means alot to her that he gave it to her to wear to symbolize that she is his girlfriend. AWWWWWWWWWWW. By the way, she is going to give him her dog tags to wear on Monday. Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!! (I couldn't resist.)
