Scholarship

On Saturday April 26, Christopher, Phil and I were guests at the Garland Police Awards Dinner where Chris was awarded the Lauren Meyers Memorial Scholarship. Lauren was a Lakeview Law Magnet student who was lost in a car accident in 2003. This scholarship in her memory is awarded each year to a law magnet student from LCHS who plans to pursue a career in law enforcement.

Johnny and Vicky Meyers, Chris, Dane and Cheryl Meyers

These are Lauren's grandparents and parents who sat at the same

table with us at the dinner. I found out earlier that day that Johnny

works with my son in law Cory. Small world. It was a pleasure to meet them.

Prom

Lakeview's senior prom was held Saturday night April 18 at the Hilton Hotel in Rockwall. After working most of the day on his eagle project Chris got ready for the prom. Laura was his date. She is a friend whose brother is in his boy scout troop. She goes to a different school.

These are some friends of Chris's from Lakeview.

Home Stretch

Graduation is 5 weeks from today. A lot has happened since my last post.

I had started a few posts over the months and never finished them now they don't even seem newsworthy enough to post them. I will sum them by saying Chris finally finished his research project and passed all his classes.

April was a very busy month. Nichole, Caitlyn and Riley came for a visit Easter weekend. We got to meet Jeff, Nichole's new beau. He seems like a really nice guy. She is very happy, too. Caitlyn also brought her friend Cheyanne. Of course that was also the weekend that Chris was doing his Eagle Scout project so we didn't get to see much of them. Friday night we went out for Pizza at CiCi's and then came home for ice cream and cake to celebrate Caitlyn and Chris's birthdays a little early. Saturday they went shopping and seeing the sights while we were at the church doing Chris's project. They went to a concert at Billy Bob's Saturday night but Riley stayed home with us since he isn't old enough to go to BB's. He and Chris hung out playing video games. Easter morning I was up at the crack of dawn to go up to church and help with the sunrise service breakfast. The kids came to the service and then had to leave after breakfast. I only got one picture.

So Chris started his Eagle project that weekend and we ended up finishing the following weekend. 3 days before his 18th birthday. Talk about down to the wire. But it is done and I am so very proud of him. He kept telling me not to worry but you know how mother's are. The pictures tell the story.
