Jesse's in Town !! It's Shower Time!

 

My future in laws and Emily!  Jesse and Emily were thrown their very first shower, and it was a couple's shower! Jesse was in town for Easter, and the sower was given by several families fom the Cardosi side and it was lovely!  Jesse was thrilled to open yard stuff and tool stuff!  He's back in Michaigan starting Monday, but was glad to attend a shower... the rest will be Bridal Showers for Emily...can't wait!  

Jesse got an electric vehicle while he was here due to an unfortunate wreck in Michigan that left his wonderful Civic being totalled...but this electric car engineer finally got an electic car!

Celebrating Jesse's Birthday a  little early since he will back back in MI on his birthday!

All the grandparents at the shower as well!

Claire wins the Daughters of the American Revolution Scholarship! Local and Statewide!

Earlier in the school year, Claire was nominated to apply for the DAR Citizenship award for The West Tn Chapter.  She had to write the essay in front of a counselor and turn it in within 2 hours....she didn't love the process but did it anyhow!  She foound out recently that she not only won the citizen scholarship award from the local chapter she also won the West Tennessee award and will find out in Nashville in June if she won the state award!  She didn't love being the center of attention, but was a champ accepting the awards!  We are so proud of the young woman, golfer, student, and citizen she has become!  

Go Claire Go!!  Lots coming up soon so promise to post soon!

 

March busy-ness!

March has been a whirlwind! Our neighbor of over 20 years, Chantel, has been painting Claire for years.  She came by this week with this beautifully framed paintong of Claire that she won in a nationwide contest.  It was painted in 2017 and is so beautillfy done.  Tis was her graduation gift to Claire, and so very thoughtful!!  Can;t wait to hang it!

Claire and I went to Mrs Doubtfire at the Orpheum with her dear friend Elizabeth and her mom.  We had dinner beforehand at The Peabody and had a blast!!  Just 2 more months left of school for these girls!!

 

We are back!!! And it's golf season!

So Spring has sprung, and College Golf and Claire's Competitive Golf has begun!  She was so thrilled to have traveled this past week to Opelika, Alabama (Auburn) to watch her future college team play!  They played at a Robert Trnet Jones Course, and Claire watched them for 2 days!  She met them all, ate dinner with them all, met all the coaching staff, and is over the moon happy.  Bonus....we stopped in Montgomery, AL and hugged Mary Grace and the Hixon Family!  We have not seen them since we traveled to China together 5 years ago and they missed each other terribly!!!  MG is attending Auburn next year!

Claire decked out in LTU gear and Lance was also on cloud 9!

She snuck in some putting at this amazing course after the girls all finished their round!

Absolutely picturesque...these are the course types she will play on in her fall and spring seasons!

Our Hotel was amazing and golf themed!

Future teamates and opponents in the background.....
