Model United Nations

Abby participated in Model UN this past week. She spent hours working on her collage. She was disappointed that her collage did not even place but she did win 1st for her committee. We thought her collage and her resolution were both impressive! On the negative side, (which is where she likes to focus), she was put in a group where she was the only 8th grader and her assigned country was Canada. This gave her quite a few challenges and played a part in her overall success at the competition. On the positive side, she got to go to SFA where they have an amazing food court, get Starbucks two days in a row, and end her second day with an Icee that she didn't have to pay for.

Happy New Year!!

Happy 2013!! It was cold and pouring rain here in Longview which made it a good night for our traditional New Year's Eve family game night. Jared had actually planned to go to a bonfire but due to the rain, he "got" to stay home with us!:)
