September 2-14th

Truthfully, this was so long ago, it is difficult to remember everything that happened.

I was the chairman of the Wee Queen and King contest for my sorority. That meant lots of work and Rachel was a big help.

On September 6, Cash was in the Holden Fair Baby Show. He got FIRST and has a little trophy. He was sitting up there so calm, until he spotted me in the crowd. Then he was bad. We know he is cute, but it may have had something to do with the fact that he made sure the judges remembered him!

On Sunday, Veronica competed in the little Queen contest. She didn't win, but Veronica just doesn't mind. She had a good time. Apparently during her walk across the stage, she stopped, asked for a Kleenex, and blew her nose in front of the crowd.

I was REALLY busy with school. Mom came on Tuesday, the 9th and Rachel helped out by making dinner.

September 10-Saturday 12 Mom and I went to Georgia for Drew's graduation from bootcamp. We almost didn't make the plane in KC due to lack of parking, but everything else was great. Thursday we went to the Turning Blue Ceremony and Mom got to pin Drew's blue cord on at a ceremony. They also hugged and will be in a movie. Then we got to take Drew and his friend Richard out to eat and to the movies. They were really happy to eat at Applebee's! They saw Deathrace and Mom and I saw Mirrors with Kieffer Southerland. It was intense.

You may have wondered where Bob was. Well, he had been in Spain and on Thursday was actually flying through Atlanta.

Graduation the next day was impressive. Drew's Dad and his paternal grandparents got to come so Drew was well represented with family. After graduation Mom and I went back to Atlanta and Drew went on leave with his Dad and Jane and Don.

Friday evening we went out to eat with my friend from college, Mary and her family. They were very welcoming and we all had a great time. Her kids are very bright and entertaining.

Saturday morning's flight went well. We got home in time to go to the parade for the Holden Fair. We got lots of free candy! The fair was pretty much rained out this year, so it didn't matter much that we were out of town.

Mom is house hunting and we went to see several houses on Monday. I think she may sell her place and then rent.

Tuesday the 16th Mom went home, but plans to return next month to attend her class reunion. She had a good time with Cash, Veronica, and Rachel.

Then we got to wait to see where Drew ended up. He has changed what he is doing. He finally got his orders to go Fort Carson, CO. He is happy about it.
