There Is Peace in Righteous Doing


I've been a little crabby lately. Yep, PMDD still has a vise grip on me. I've had a line of a song we sang last week in church on my mind ALL WEEK. I'm not sure if it's meant to be spiritual guidance and inspiration, or just good self-talk, but I figured if I use it as my post title, I can let it go. (It reminded me of Lamb Chop's "This is the song that never ends....") I'm trying to ditch the crabbiness before heading off to a Stake Conference meeting - hoping that I can feel a spirit of peace rather than the spirit of discontent that seems to always accompany a bout of hormonal fluctuations. The timing is always so bad.

I wanted to also quickly post these pictures from the Academic Letter Ceremony that we attended this week. LHS holds them in the morning before school, and the traffic is always terrible. Bill left after me, but arrived to the school a good 5-10 minutes before me. I know. How did that happen? Let me just say that the school traffic in the neighborhood is a little crazy, and Bill chose more wisely than I on that particular morning.


 This was Shi's 3rd Academic Letter. Nice job, girl!


Shi has some really great friends. I love how once I start snapping pictures, they just keep jumping in, handing me their cell phones to snap some for them too. Such cute girls.


The other great news for Shilo is that she was able to get into Student Government. I am so glad that she has the opportunity to be involved in planning and implementing activities for the school this year. She has already been really busy and is anxious about doing the morning announcements this week for upcoming Homecoming activities. The announcements these days are pretty high tech - no hiding behind a microphone in the principal's office broadcasting via an intercom system. They are filmed and televised, and can be accessed from the school website. Shi's feeling the pressure and is worried about being "awkward." I'm sure she'll do a fantastic job.

 A fun bonus: all these awesome girls are in Student Government, too.

Counting my blessings... I feel better already.
