Prom

It is Prom Night ~ It all started two weeks ago when Lodge (his real name is Andrew Lodge but Tori just calls him Lodge) unofficially ask Tori to go to Prom. As it turns out Boise and Timberline's Prom is on the same night (Lodge goes to THS). So they are just going to THS's prom. The shopping for a dress began. Lodge gave Tori a list of colors he would not wear (he wanted to match his Tux to her dress). We finally found the perfect dress. Finally this week we got the official invitation, a box of rose petals, rose and a note. Then we had to give him an answer, so we went to Petco and bought a Beta fish and bowl. She made a sign to put on the fish bowl that said "It will be a SPLASH to go to Prom with you" and we delivered it to his house while he was at work. I treated her to getting her hair and makeup done. Lodge picked her up at 5:00, here they are exchanging flowers. Took some pictures and then they were off to Lodge's house for more pictures. She said that...

Welcome to the deep end...

...this is the message I got on Monday as I jumped in. Monday was my birthday, another milestone day.  One that I have been dreading for weeks.  Not sure why this one is so hard to swallow.   For weeks I have been feeling like the crocodile from Peter Pan...Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.  The days just tick away. Birthday's are interesting, there is a build up as the day gets closer adding to the excitement (or dread).  Then the alarm goes off on the "BIG" day and you wake up just like any other day.  The same person, nothing feels different.  If it wasn't for the wrinkles you see in the mirror you wouldn't know you were any older. It isn't until you mentally do the math in your head and realize that you're starting a new decade of your life.  60 is the new 30, right!?!

Taking donations......

If anyone one wants to contribute to the Lewis education fund, please feel free........... Alex has a friend that is going to this art school in Eagle, called Arts West. It is pretty expensive. He first brought up going last year and I told him there was noooo way he could go. Well, he has been hanging out with his friend Jeff and has started asking about going again. So, I told him that he would need to see if he can get some scholarships. They are having auditions for scholarship this Saturday and he has done all the leg work, scheduled his audition time, got all his art work together, wrote his 350 work vision statement, had me take his picture. So he seems very determined to go. So tomorrow at 3:40 is his audition. I have mixed emotions. I'm very glad to see him excited about school. But I'm not excited about having to come up with the money to pay for it. I wish him the best of luck tomorrow and I really hope it goes well for him. Good luck, Al...... We Love you and are v...
