Things that are the best!

 

Getting a few projects done is the best. 

Finally hanging the rest of the instruments in the music room after procrastinating for 6 months. 

It took less than an hour. 

Did a hive check. The ladies look amazing! Two very strong hives and one small but hanging in there hive. Look at those festooning bees! That means we have a lot of teenage bees and it means they are building comb in anticipation of growth and honey storage! Gonna be a good year. I don’t know a ton and have so much to learn, but I love sharing my bee knowledge with Mary and living farm life vicariously. The Saumis are so generous to host Willy hives in their bee yard. Mary and I call it a team effort to be bee moms. It’s a joint custody.

Orchestra is the best! At the semester, Soren was transferred into the 8th grade orchestra class. In February, he was selected to be in the 8th grade chamber group. He has had a few opportunities to play at school and community events with this group and he loves it! Last week, they played at a festival at Apple Glen elementary one day and at Crystal Bridges another day. He is looking forward to SDC with the whole 8th grade orchestra in May 

An Elder Tice sighting is the best! We received this text from Aaron’s sister in law, Ashley. Elder Tice is serving in her ward, and teaching her neighbor! Corbin was ecstatic about this, and sent a video back telling him, “Elder Tice, you look amazing my friend! Keep up the good work!” He then told me, “Josh needs to freshen up that fade, mom. What are alk my friends gonna do without you?” And then a gasp of realization hit, “wait. What am I going to do without you?!” Then he texted his aunt and uncle and told them, “take good care of my friend, here. Make sure he gets some Taco Bell, my man looks like he could use a Baja blast” Great work, Joshie!

Spring academic grind is the best. Corbin is “in a flow state” for the end of semester push to get a couple Bs in AP classes up to As, and to rescue a struggling APSTAT grade. I believe in him.
A 6 mile hike with Kasey is the best! Spring is springing! We got caught in the rain the last 20 minutes and it was refreshing! 

The newtons at music and the spoken word is the best 

Chaperoning 90 orchestra students is the best

My Sunday school seniors are the best! This week I got to see Davey run the Ignite summit. This is a big deal. He did a fabulous job. Bryce A received a 1000 grant through Bentonville schools to start his own business. He’s the coolest! I also went to two mission call openings for Ammon (Brazil) and Madi (Florida). Super proud of these two for committing to serve the Lord. And lastly, Mr Neal cane over and we dyed hus bright red spotted party hair back to black. He looked super sharp just in time for prom!  What a special group of kids. They’re the best class!
