Another year has come and gone....life of a drill team director!

It truly seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I started my new job at LCHS with the Bailadoras. The year has gone by so fast and I have enjoyed ever minute of it. With my new job came a team of young ladies and their parents who have done nothing but make me feel very wanted and are supportive beyond words. I can honestly say that I wake up eager to go to work and do not mind staying late....I think the secret to this happiness is that they put as much into it, if not more than I do. We had a phenomenal contest season this spring and then came back hard getting ready for their annual spring show. Even with my putting in changes and doing things a wee bit different, they take it with a smile and very rarely doubt my reasonings. I feel truly blessed that the good lord sent me on my way last year from my past job and landed me where I am today.

Along with my great job I am also very proud to say that my family has grown. Kila gave birth to my beautiful granddaughter this past month. Kennedy Lane Savoy is a doll! She had a great delivery...almost delivering in the car, but we will pass on that story. And both mommy and daughter came home within two days. John John is more precious than ever and is loving being a big brother to his Baby Kennedy. Kila is quite content at the moment as she is going to stay home and be mommy and not return to the classroom.

In just a couple of months our family will continue to grow when Kiana marries the love of her life, Mr. Ryan Tatum on July 8th. She has done an incredible job with her wedding details and I must say if she ever decides to not go into medicine she should do weddings. Hers will be breath taking and I can not wait for the day. We have showers to attend this coming month up in the Ft Worth area and then one back here in the Houston area before the big day occurs.

All the other kids are doing fine. Charles and Blair are still working hard and Blair will be sitting for her bar exam this summer. Raymond was just shipped out for a 6 month stay in Turkey..not our first choice but I am sure he will make the best of it. That pretty much sums it up for Parker & Co.

After the next couple of weeks...I think I will actually have some down time coming around the corner :) Ready to hit the beach with my dogs, read and do some heavy sewing. Can't wait!
