Flying

Andy and Laura got the opportunity to join BJ, a friend from the Scout troop, in his plane today.

They flew around Columbia and got to see our house from the air.

They had a great time and really enjoyed the experience.

Senior Pictures

It was a haircut and style this morning…

… and Senior pictures this evening.

Every experience this year makes me realize Laura is just one step closer to graduation. It was such a fun time watching her get her photos taken. She was tentative at first, but she was loving every minute by the end.

Big thanks to Shannon at The Strand for her “favorite haircut ever” and to Tamara Dee Photography for pulling out her personality in photos! We cannot wait to see the results!

Jim

The Cat Distribution System is at work. Laura has a theory that cats find their owners, and they distribute themselves. Well, this one showed up on our doorstep, and no one has claimed him after several days. So, we named him. Meet Colonel Cornelius von Frankenberger-Whiskers III, otherwise known as “Jim.” Welcome to the family!

Weekend

It has been a super crappy week at work. I am a bit proud of myself because, while I got forceful, I never lost my cool. That is a huge accomplishment for me because I typically do my best problem solving AFTER I lose my cool. I will call that my big win for the week even though I literally got nothing else done. Now, it is time for the weekend, and I am starting with the biggest pour of wine that I could get with the wine glasses that we currently have in the house. The weekend is on!
