Ivy text and called me last night to tell me that she would be graduating from Elementary and they had an awards assemble in the morning. I had planned on going to the Temple but of course I went to Ivy's school instead. The only other thing I had planned on doing for sure was to get my window welded before the rock chip spread. (good thing that's all there was) The program started at 9:00 and lasted until 10:30. Cute little Behr did really well even though he was way over his nap time. I looked over at him and Trichelle and he was having the best time hiding in between her legs. She would grab his head with her legs and he thought that was the funniest thing ever. It was funny.
I love that Trichelle and Daniel get along so well and that he felt comfortable to come sit between Trichelle and I. Ivy got award for: N.O.V.A graduation, being a 6th grade officer, physical fitness, citizenship, honor roll-all quarters, and the Presidents Academic Excellence award. It was nice seeing that she is applying herself and working hard. I'm proud of Ivy Marie.
After the Awards Assembly the sixth grade had a talent show. Ivy invited me to stay but asked her parents to both leave. How could I not after that? I was impressed by the talent of the kids and even more impressed with their confidence. It was awesome to see. An hour into the talent show we had to take a break for lunch. Ivy asked me if I would take her and her friend out. Her friend got permission from her dad and so I did. We didn't have long and so we went and got a drink from Fiiz and a pizza from Little Caesar. We got back just in time. Ivy didn't perform until about 1:00 or just after. So, I was at her school the whole day. They had to end even though not all the kids got to share their talents because it was short day and the time was up. (they get to share on Friday) Ivy and her friend sang a song and even though Ivy wasn't please with how they did I thought it was great. She was upset that her friend didn't sing a few parts (because she forgot the words) but it didn't matter because they were singing along with the artist and so it wasn't noticeable at all. They did a good job.
I did go get my window fixed after. ☺
During the session I did feel a few loved ones from the other side of the veil. I know there were probably more than I know but it was cool to know of the ones I did. It was a glorious night. I look forward to the day that Kimleighel goes through. She had talked about going through with Jared but didn't want to take away from him. I guess she just isn't ready quite yet. It would have been cool but it still will be when she makes that decision.
