The end of April saw Jena and I heading up to Logan for the annual Special Olympic Track Meet. The past two years it had snowed on us so I packed well for the weather...which meant of course that it was beautiful weather--blue skies, sunshine, and white puffy clouds. Gary missed it because work had a computer crashed right before we left.Jena did well wth a silver and bronze in her races and a gold in the softball throw. The great thing is she is getting better and faster each year.
On the way home, we stopped at the Brigham City Temple for a couple of pictures. It is still under construction. If you look closely you can see the green fence to keep people off the property. It is a very beautiful building in downtown Brigham City.
Part of the "busyness" of May included the annual "Silver Wolves" Awards ceremony. We had gotten an invitation as Jena's grades are high as she works and is graded on her work and effort in her classes and she wants to do well. I had decided to not bother with it this year as I had a speaking engagement that same night. Luckly her theater teacher emailed me a few days earlier and informed me that the teachers had decided to name her as the "Theater Department Student of the Year". It was a secret from Jena until she read it in the program before the meeting started. (picture above) Here is Jena standing in front with other department students of the year.
Gary taped the little speech the musical director read about Jena. He talked about her smile and willingness to work hard and to practice and always keep a good attitude in class and on the stage. It was great and Jena was very happy about it, even though all she got was a certificate. We were so proud of her. I was sorry that I missed it.
