Just a shameless brag...

It has been awhile I know... And something I plan to be active with again... Blogging. I think I quit because there was that Facebook thing but I am really over that! Not too interested in everyone publicly being involved in my life... I sorta like being in the background... And now there is the iPhone and well I can sit in the carpool line and be able to jot things down... Super easy and convenient too!

We had Addie's senior counseling appt today and I know addie is a smartie... I have known that since, we'll, forever... But at the beginning of the year last year when we transferred her into the Utah schools with a graduating class bigger than our old town... I wasn't sure she would graduate on time! They didn't accept many of her credits that she already had and required many classes we had never heard of. We both left last years appt in tears. It seemed that all of her hard work and hours of study to maintain her 4.0 gpa wouldn't really even matter. The classes were much tougher here as well. I remember Gary and I telling her that we were so proud of her having such wonderful grades but maybe we just couldn't worry about it so much... Just accept what is...

So today we met... What a difference a year makes. Addie bravely and confidently walked into that office. Mrs P pulled up her records and said wow! Not only is she on track to graduate she will graduate with 5 extra credits as well as 2 college classes. She only has 2 scheduled classes next semester and has managed to maintain a 3.94 gpa. Her ACT scores were high enough to earn her a 4 year full tuition presidential scholarship for instate colleges. She will retake it and try for 2 points higher which would allow her to go tuition free out of state! I am speechless... I am amazed! She is my hero!!! Seriously. I know how hard she has worked... The late nights... What she has given up... I am so proud of her! Am I surprised? No not so much... After all she did hate kindergarten because they only colored and didn't have chapter books!!! I can't wait to see how far she flies!!!!

Hi there, i am helping a family from Ethiopia to find their twin boys adopted by the Thompson Family, with an address in USA 38424 Highway 226, Scio, Oregon 97374, 503-394-3504. It was in the year 2008 the two boys adopted and traveled to USA. The local adoption never brought any report or update about the boys. The biological parents confused and worried too much about the condition of their children. No photos, no report, nothing at all had been told or given for the biological parents. They had been contacting people to help them to search for an address to contact the foster parents about their children condition. Days passed and today after 7 years on God's Willing I am trying to help them to have contact with their children foster parents at lease to give them an update about their children...just that nothing else. Please help me out with this to relief the parents from their suffering. Contact me for further detail on my email abiygtm@yahoo.com Thanks a lot and God bless you.
