Tonight Sarah and the other members of the Inaugural Metea Valley Marching Mustangs marching band were honored with a banquet at the school. We had a great dinner of pasta and Italian beef as well as desserts. I guess it was a nice date for us considering it’s our Engagement Anniversary today! 🙂 We watched […]
Today was a VERY busy day! Brittany had a cross country meet after school today at Waubonsie High School. It was for all of the middle schools in the district. It was very cold (down into the low 40s), but she had her best meet so far this year! She came in 17th of about
Brittany had a good run today in the Aurora “City of Lights” tournament with multiple school districts participating. They ran all the 7th and 8th grade girls together. Still Middle School’s 7th grade girls took 1st, 2nd, and 4th overall and beat everyone by a huge margin. Brittany came in 57th of 230 runners. She
Today the high school had it’s official dedication ceremony. I went with Sarah, Kirstyn, and Zachary. They left the decorations up from the dance last night and that added a nice touch! The gym was filled and the program was very nice. The auditorium is not quite finished yet so the gym had to do.

Tonight was a great night for Sarah and the Metea Valley Marching Mustangs! It was 8th Grade Night, and so all the 8th grade students from the middle schools that go to Metea came and rehearsed with the high school band. Sarah got to be in charge of some additional people and show the 8th
Today Brittany had another Cross Country meet! She was feeling much better than she did on Tuesday and performed much better as well. She raced hard and passed 3 runners at the end. She was very excited! With hard work, she will continue to get better and better as the season progresses. Unfortunately I wasn’t
Tonight was an eye-opener for me! Sarah, Brittany and I attended a meeting at the Stake Center in Naperville where representatives from the 4 Church Schools (BYU, BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, and LDS Business College) gave a presentation about attending these (or any other) for that matter. They also talked about the institute programs of the church
Today was a great day for Sarah! After getting home from the hospital and getting about 2 hours of sleep, we got up with Sarah and took her to the high school at 5am for a trip to participate with the Northwestern University Wildcat band for pre-game and halftime shows for the football game! She
Today we had a great day going to the Naperville Labor Day Parade and watching Sarah march for the first time in full uniform with the Metea Marching Mustangs!
