Lettering Around

Nikki lettered in softball last year as a freshmen. I took her this summer to order her letter jacket complete with patches for "Newcomer of the Year" and Class of 2011.

She's hoping this year to make a district team (came close last year but was in a REALLY tough district). She's been working hard on her batting average (should be around 350-400) and on-base-percentage (should be over 500) and her angles in centerfield are getting better with every practice. She's even tightening up her infielding.

Right now she would like to go to Tarelton to play ball and become a teacher. Too soon to start worrying about that? I think not. Man, it's a lot of work...and MONEY!

Homecoming 2008

Nikki looked beautiful in chocolate brown and her date was an absolute gem. After picking her up at our house (entire family in tow), they met the "group" at a wonderful house with a wooden bridge and trellis area. Perfect for pictures. Then the group caught a "limo bus" to a Japanese restaurant and then it was to the dance. Nikki got sick (figured out later it was from some medication), but she had a great time. They even went to the "after party" and she slept over with a friend.I look at Nikki and I can't believe she's 15! She'll be gone before I know it. And then what will I do with my time? BUG STEPHEN!

Yep, that should do it.

Haven't had enough of the election process? Anxious for more details and predictions? Your wish is this website's desire.

It's the transition website for President-elect Obama. You can send them your election day memory or your wish for the country. You can research all the appointees and all the agenda items. You can even apply for a job! Hook me up. I'm thinking assistant to the speech writer for Obama. That guy's got talent!

If I'm hired, you can all come visit.
