Last Saturday was our end of the year, Awards Banquet for our school, Frankfort Covenant Academy (frankfortca.com). It was held at the Thomas Duncan Hall in downtown Lafayette. It was a beautiful building, but a little small for the occasion. Oh how I wish we had our own building for events like this, ugh! If any of you out there have a couple million dollars you would like to donate towards our building fund...just let me know : ) Our boys did well with receiving awards, as well as, all the other students. We were so happy for our boys, Talon and Keegan, they make us proud every year! This was advertised as a formal event, so...we did our part to make sure we wore the appropriate attire. Jerry borrowed a tux from a friend, as well as a bow tie and cummerbund for Talon. Keegan had a bow tie and a cummerbund from my nieces wedding and Kallee still fit into her dress she wore in her Aunt Elizabeth's wedding, so with 4 down and one to go, we felt pretty good. I was just going to wear a suit, but I decided to pull out a formal I wore in a friends wedding (almost 10 yrs. ago) and thought I could make it work. It ended up being "a little" tight on me, but for the good of the occasion, I sucked in and breathed very lightly--ALL night long, HA! Of course the top half of the gown wouldn't fit, so I dug through my closet and found a shawl that worked. All in all, we looked "the part" and had an enjoyable evening!
Talon and his friend Dee that road with us to the banquet. I am so proud of Talon for buying her a ticket and a corsage, he is growing into quite a young man.
