Time keeps flying by and when I look at your beautiful freckly face, I see in the past when you were my teeny little baby girl. I can't believe that soon you'll be 11. Lately you've been pretty obsessed with getting a phone. More specifically, and iPhone 7+ gold. Yeah right. You wrote me 2 very convincing letters to try to convince me that this is the right thing for you. Only problem is that iPhones run about $500-600 with a monthly bill as well! I told you if you are able to save the money to pay for a phone, then go right ahead. I think it was kind a wake up call for you that things are EXPENSIVE! I'm so glad you are learning valuable lessons, and still holding your head high. You gave a talk in primary today about agency that you wrote all on your own. You did a great job. You are also heavily involved this month and next in cheer competitions around the valley. Your team has been great. Unfortunately, in the 2 competitions you have competed in already, your team got last place both times. I feel like losing teaches valuable lessons, so it doesn't bother me one bit! The cost of cheering??? Another story.
I'm proud of you and in awe of you every day.
