How about this....

Keeping up my end here, although we are not one entire week into the month yet, however I am still keeping up with my posts!
A fun thing happened to a special young lady in my world today. Lauren , is a high school senior at Leetonia HS . She has helped me in the flower shop since May. She started the weekend we had 2 crazy big weddings, and she came back again and again so I must not freaked her out too bad ! Any way Lauren or "Lornan" as her little cousin calls her was tapped into NHS today ! Congratulations to her.... What an awesome accomplishment! Proud of her .

When Holly was in High School and waiting for the NHS appointment letter she looked at every piece of mail that graced our mail box. She scoured for that letter and was so terribly miserable that it indeed never arrived.. She waited, whined , paced and fussed for a month waiting for the " letter " to appear. Little did she know it had come and in a timely fashion I might add, I took the letter to work at Something New where I knew it would never find her little hands. I could keep the National Honor Society Induction a BIG SECRET from her... In 2006 Kenny still had his vision and was driving. He planned to leave work early that day as I also dressed up a bit and planned on leaving the flower shop in order to make it to the assembly. We thought we were so sly ~ keeping this big accomplishment from her and all. I was so excited.

The day before the assembly Holly happened to drop into the shop just to say Hello. While during her visit one of my coworkers congratulated her on her huge accomplishment of NHS. The month long surprize was immediately O V E R . Blown .... out of the water...... she knew. All the crazy effort put into keeping the secret now ca put. Fine' . sad. I tried so hard to make it a surprize.... :) Is she any different now from knowing ? Eh .... Probably not ... she is a delight either way. But when she was inducted we thought it was pretty cool.
Many things in life bring us pride. Most definitely National Honor Society is one of those. :)

Congratulations Lornan. Good Job.
Congratulations Holly ..... 4 years ago.
I'm proud of you both.
