I had to write this one as well...
This will be my third blog for the day but it is well worth writing.
I have this step daughter, her name is Dani. I went to a presentation that she did the other day and it was AMAZING. I thought over and over again if I should go, I didn't want to embarrass her, but I really wanted to be there because it was a big final and she was really nervous about how she was going to do.
The presentation was in her Government class and she would read a speech in front of Legislators, borough assembly members, faculty, even past Government students. After the speech they would have an in-prompt round of questions that the students would have to answer to the best of their abilities.
Now you have to know Dani. She likes to be prepared for stuff, so when the question time came around I could tell she was pretty nervous about what she was going to say. Her speech went so smoothly, she spoke with confidence and even projected her voice so that even I could hear her from way back in the auditorium. Once the questions started, her confidence did not waiver.
She was embarrassed a time or two as she seemed a bit flustered by her answer. But she did AMAZINGLY! I cannot express with words how proud I was of her at that moment!!! She managed to answer questions, with diplomacy and tact, confidence and even let her personality show as she answered each question.
Once the team was done presenting, the judges began their assessments. The main judge was simply amazed at how well and how eloquent the group was. And how smoothly they were able to work with each other, even disagree on points with each other but yet still make the presentation smooth..jpg)
I was so proud of her in that moment, I wished her Dad could have been there with me. He would have loved it! After she was done presenting I went to see her, with relief in her teary eyes I gave her a huge hug and complimented her on how impressed I was with her and her presentation. It was such an exciting moment as a step mom, my heart beat so proudly and I boasted about her and her presentation the rest of the day, to anyone that would listen! Lord knows I talked to any one who would listen! :)
Life is good. I love being a step mom, I am so proud.
The kids are growing up, and I'm so proud of them.
ahhhh. *sigh*

One more day and Dani is totally done with high school, I can hardly believe it. Seems like just yesterday I was kicking her in the head for laying in the middle of the floor in the dark.
Ha ha! ;)

Dani, congradulations on completing your High School requirements. Your auntie and I are real proud of you and Demi both. You ladies are starting to make your way in the adult world. Its not always fun having to do
"the grown up thing" as your auntie likes to say, but its nice making your own choices for the most part.
This is only my second time ever posting to a blog and its kind of wierd. Its more enjoyable when you know the people on the "other end" so to speak. And you know your uncle Phil is seldom at a lose on a comment or opinion. Especially about that picture of Demi in this blog. She looks so beautiful and premenstrual at the same time.
Jackie, Dan and (Jordan) with a G hope you all have a great Christmas. Lynn and I send our love.
Phil
Ha ha! Phill you crack me up...IE: comment about Demi. I think she would absolutly kill me if she knew I had posted that picture of her in this blog...
Opps....shhhhh....don't tell her!
