Countdowns

According to the MIFA One Act Festival Schedule, it is only one hour until the awards ceremony and announcements of the company's rating I, II or III. Matthew is having a good time. He is part of a company that earned their way to state.

Less than twenty four hours before the snow and ice arrive.  A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for our area beginning at 0700 tomorrow until 0700 Monday. The tree trimmers never finished cutting down our tree, so I hope with ice accumulation, and wind that it doesn't end up on our house.  Just read the report on the NWS and we could get up to 7 inches of snow and a 1/3" of ice.  The cars have gas. I have milk, bread and milk. We have blankets and a fireplace that can work if necessary. I will keep you posted.

Six days until Mary goes to Germany.  She is buying some new comfortable shoes that can be used for sightseeing and attending the theatre.  They are only taking a suitcase they fits in the overhead, so she will have to pack smart.

One Week and a few days until the FAFSA is due. Makes for a stressful time, but an important one nonetheless.

Six weeks until Jeff, Matt and I pack up for our spring break trip to Florida!  It will be nice to have time away together. 

Two months until Mary finishes her first year of college.

Three months until Sarah travels to Japan with Hope College's Athletic Training Department, and Jeff retires from the USAF at Shaw AFB, SC.

 Lots to look forward to!  Will let you know what happens with Matthews awards.
