A Kennedy Girl First!

I know Hannah will be completely mortified that I'm posting this, but like I tell my kids, they'll be happy that I recorded everything 20 years from now.  Really, it's all about family history.  But I digress.

Hannah texted me today, and she was asked, BY A BOY, to go to the winter dance at the high school.  Here are her exact words (which I personally find cute/hilarious/tenderrrrr....):

So ummm....
Ryan just asked me to the winter dance.
I was so not expecting that.
Oh wow.


Me:  What did you say to him?


Um, I said yes.
But I felt like a deer in the headlights.
And my hands are shaking.
I really wasn't expecting that.

Within an hour, she had had time to think about it, and I received these texts:

Ok.  I'm still a little shocked.


I'm very excited though.  What am I going to wear?????  Ahh!


I would like to point out that I was the first one to point out that she had an admirer.  As I watched Ryan following (my kids would say "stalking") her after a concert one evening, I knew he was hooked.  On the Johannah Love Drug.

Okay, I'm laughing out loud.  I have teased her mercilessly about him for the last month, and to find out that I was right the whole time?  Priceless!

You totally deserve this, Hannie-Bananie!  You are the most gorgeous, confident, talented girl I know.  I'm glad that you finally found a boy who isn't intimidated by you and your Hannah-ness.  Have a great night!

Oh, and by the way, I made a hair appointment for you that day :-)

    My grandmother bought me a beautiful red dress for my first dance. As it turns out, I was the "Queen" of the dance which made it even more special. I would like to buy J Rose a beautiful dress for her first dance. Let me know how I can facilitate the purchase. It will be a special dance and hopefully a memorial one. I am sure she will be lovely.

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

By
I'm writing this, not as a complaint, but as a plea.  If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. My children are talented.  In fact, every child that I have ever met is talented in some way.  That's the fun thing about meeting kids--discovering those hidden talents. Some of the talents my children possess are very public--you guessed it...music.  Some aren't so public--kindness and generosity. My kids are frequently judged by other children because of their musical talents.  Other kids see them as "snobs" because they play their instruments well and because they are willing to share those talents whenever asked. My kids never play with arrogance.  They recognize that they are better at music than most kids their age, but they never, ever show it.  In fact, they are very generous with compliments towards other kids and their efforts with music.  I have raised them to appreciate anyone who tries to do anything with music--it's ...

Redefining Charity

By
I like attending church on Sunday for many different reasons, but I dislike the meetings for one very large reason:  discussions regarding charity. In case you don't remember your Sunday School lessons, charity is defined as the pure love of Christ.  If you were to actually look up the word in a dictionary, it would say, "See John Kennedy". That's right.  My wonderful husband is the perfect embodiment of charity. His life basically moves from one charitable act to another. Take any given Saturday.  He can found building some large structure on our property because I think we need it.  He can be found, rebuilding a pond for an old Indian woman who lives alone and needs some help.  On his way to a church picnic, he will stop to help an old woman reseal her driveway, missing one of his favorite meals in the world:  a POTLUCK! Other days?  He stops to help any person on the side of the road with car troubles. He'll drive 2.5 hours to a ...

The TOOTH that Broke the Camel's Back

By
1.  Take an already busy doctor and install an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) in his office.  Kiss him goodnight at midnight as he begins to "preload" charts for future visits. 2.  Host a general authority of the church for our stake conference this weekend.  Receive a long "to do" list of jobs just five days before the conference. 3.  Feel stress because John is stressed.  Try to do his jobs around the house so that he doesn't have to worry about them. 4.  Have 16 puppies. 5.  Decide to build outside area for puppies.  Borrow backhoe from neighbor.  Watch John work long past the setting sun, and wake up before anyone else to dig. 6.  Use our own tractor to move the dirt.  Watch bucket malfunction, cut the fuel line and destroy the fuel pump.  Try to catch the leaking diesel fuel in a bucket. 7.  Catch cold last weekend.  Dread colds like a hemophiliac dreads a small cut.  Nurse fever, congestio...
