freedoms foundation

today was the freedoms foundation luncheon where jake and others going to valley forge were introduced.  56 high school students from across the state were chosen for the scholarships.  a few weeks ago the director called jake and said jake's interview was one of the very best of all the kids he interviewed.  he asked jake to lead the group of 500 people in the pledge of allegience.  it was an honor and he did a great job, even after we reminded him not to pull a "christina aguilerra".

i know he is going to have a blast at valley forge.  he loves history and he loves leadership type events.  i'm excited for his 4-day trip in may.

tonight our satellite started to have some problems in the wind.  we were alarmed because it's hollywood week on amerian idol.  i went out to check the satellite and found that it was hanging from the roof.  i texted the picture to rye and he laughed out loud at the restaurant where he was eating and texted back, "yah, that's never gonna work".  he was nice enough to get up on a ladder in a driving snow storm to get it working.  thanks rye!

it's 8:30 now.  snow is pounding outsid.  the roads look awful and i'm home alone, which means everyone is checked out in the storm.  wish they were all home so i wouldn't worry.  jake, sam, isaac and monte are at the jazz game.  craig took caroline to fencing.
