Hooray! We're so proud of dd. She's won a award in academic excellence for Family and Home Sciences in recognition of her Culinary skills. And today, she won a $4000 scholarship in recognition of her Human Spirit through our local Dollars for Scholars program! We are all very surprised at the scholarship. The Human Spirit awards are granted to 'those who have overcome some type of adversity or hardship'. We're scratching our heads in wonder....what hardship or adversity did dd have to overcome??

Was it having me as her parent? LOL

Or was it having dd as her sister? (if you recall, dd16 lit the bathroom garbage on fire a couple of years ago and has been a source of embarrassment for dd18 ever since - lol, just kidding)

No matter, I'm just happy she's gotten these great awards!
