Kiss my ICE

The weather is still cold but no snow in the forecast so that is ok. We still have a bunch of ice around here and it is slicker than heck. You have to really be careful walking and some of the intersections are still slippery. It just hasn't gotten warm enough to melt it and it is solid as can be. Ice---You suck!

Jess was inducted into the National Honor Society last night. It was a very nice ceremony. She was required, in her application, to write a paragraph about her leadership and then a second paragraph on someone who has made a difference in their lives. Jess chose Nancy. The selected students invite the person they wrote about to come to the ceremony. They then read what they had written in front of the audience.

Jess did a nice job and what she wrote was very nice. It made Nancy cry. It was a very nice night and I am proud of her. She works hard in athletics but maintains a high GPA and is ranked 10th out of 147 students in her class.

Drew attended the ceremony as well so he knows what to expect in a few years.

Nothing really on the agenda for today. Jess has volleyball practice in Ankeny tonight with her club team and Drew and I are going down with her. While she practices, we are going to do a little Christmas shopping.

The weekend is almost here and Christmas break is only 7 working days away.

Off to start.
