BRAVO!

Last night, Abby had her final choral performance as an 8th grader.  She, first, performed with the Select Ensemble group, singing, "Africa" and "Beautiful".  They did an outstanding job, if I must say so myself!  Then, she performed with the entire 8th grade chorus and they sang many popular songs from the '60's, as well as from movies, such as "9 to 5".  Once again, they did not disappoint.

Here she is on the far right with part of her Select Ensemble group.

After her performances, we went to meet her in the cafeteria and presented her with two bouquets of flowers.  One was from my mother-in-law who drove over from South Carolina.

Here Abby is with "big sis".

So proud of my girl!  Abby is planning to continue to be involved in the school chorus next year in high school and has expressed a lot of interest in the show choir.  I'm looking so forward to watching her perform for years to come!

Here's an udpate on Chris' job situation.  We learned today that he didn't get the job, afterall, in Portland, OR.  They company decided to hire the internal candidate.  The news came as a relief, to be honest.  He returns today from his interviews in PA.  He's been through the ringer with 4 interviews yesterday and 2 more today...all with the same company! He said he felt very good about things, so, hopefully, we'll know something soon.  He has two more interviews coming up soon...God is being so faithful to us!
