***A Day in the Life of the Watsons!***: Memorial Day!

This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Memorial Day!

Well, Memorial day is about over. I wanted to do a quick update before I went to bed.

Friday night was the school's award night. Missie got a medal for the A Honor Roll. She was on the A honor roll all year! She got a trophy for learning all of her scripture on time, too! We were so proud of her. The picture of her on stage didn't turn out :(.

Missie had her 15th birthday on Saturday! I can hardly believe she is 15. She was so sick, though, and spent all day in bed. I felt so sorry for her. She overdid it at a friend's house on a slip n slide and then at fun day at FCA. She ached all over and was sick. She was supposed to sing in a trio on Sunday a.m. but wasn't able to go. She did get to her FCA's graduation at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, and the reception afterwards. I will post some pictures of her and some of her friends.
It was a wonderful graduation service. Each of the graduates (Kindergarten, 8th grade, and 12th grade) presented their mothers with a rose; many tears were shed. Altogether there were 13 graduates! Preston was able to attend and we all went to the reception afterwards. It was a hot day, though, and by the time we got home, we were all hot and tired. But I am glad Missie was able to attend. Now today she has a cold. It was starting yesterday, but now she is blowing, blowing, blowing her nose. She gets so tired of being sick!!!

For her birthday, Missie wanted a glove and softball. So that is what we got her. A lady at church made her a cake! Then she got money from both sets of grandparents. She wanted cheesecake on her birthday as the birthday cake was already gone, so we got cheesecake for her. Hopefully next year we can have a party for her when she turns 16. She is just growing up so fast.

Junior is working for the temp. agency again; we are thankful for that. We still haven't received any unemployment from SC for the weeks he had no work. We are praying it will come through. Someone graciously paid our van payment, our light bill, and phone bill for this month, so that is a huge blessing. We are hoping this job will last for a while!

Continue to pray for us, when you think of us!
