Poor Lauren is taking a beating lately here. Really deserved, because she is definitely a trip. Teresa says she's just like me in alot of ways. Thought I would give the really good on her too. It's amazing how much Lauren does. Right now here are the highlights of her busy life:
- Varsity Cheerleading. This is serious stuff. Hours of practice everyday. Games until late on Friday nights, with more games to come later. Saturday practices, starting at 8 a.m. are on the slate too for the competition squad.
- Alpha. This is a sorority service organization. Weekly meetings at least. Commitments to do service projects. They even provide teacher gifts on their birthdays and other neat stuff (all at their own expense).
- Class Council. She's on the Junior Class Council, which meets regularly. Saturday, she had to serve 2 hours at one of their car wash fundraisers, after four hours of cheering practice.
- Yearbook Staff. Self explanatory. I'm sure that will get real busy.
- Church. She's committed there as well. Play practice will start soon there. Sunday School, Wednesday night class. Missioin trips during the last two summers, for which she completely raised her own support money.
- School. She's got a pretty good class load. Honors classes . . . Spanish 5, which is completely optional. I wouldn't take that optionally.
And, she just rolls with everything. Gets everything done. Finds time for lots of friends too somehow. We're really proud of her.

We are very, very proud of our Lauren!!!!
Lauren is the type of teenager every parent hopes to have. She's not perfect (none of us are), but she is so sweet, funny, smart, friendly with everyone, good in school, beautiful (although she can make some weird faces), kind, reliable, and much more. Keep it up, Lauren. We are all so proud of you.
This is a result of some excellent parenting. Congratulations Teresa and Chris.
Ditto to Chris & Teresa!!
