1st Grade Music Concert
Madelyn had her first ever elementary school music concert last night. She was super excited about being able to sing her heart out.
I apologize in advance for the picture quality. Upon arriving to the concert we discovered that the camera battery was dead, therefore I had to use my i-phone. Thank goodness we got it all on video though.
Madelyn chose to wear her new plaid dress with her boots. Gotta love a girl with style. :)
The 1st grade class sang 10 songs and Madelyn even got to play the xyolophone (sp?). Mrs. Hurd would be so proud.
Madelyn was disappointed when it was over because she wasn't ready to be done singing. It was a fun concert to watch and we were super proud of our girl singing her heart out. The next music concert will be when Madelyn is in 3rd grade and she will be in a brand new school by then!!

71 Years Young
Happy 71st Birthday to the best Father-in-Law! Although I didn't get to pick my in-laws, I couldn't have asked for a better family to marry in to. Although most men pick a woman that are like their mothers, Ryan picked someone that is just like his dad. :)
We love you Papa!!
We love you Papa!!

Budget Cuts
I often times feel the stress of budget cuts in my current position because that is the nature of the beast in the social services field. We are expected to give, give, give, but the state keeps taking our money away. It is very frustrating when we are serving the most vulnerable citizens in Kansas but we have no money to do so.
Any who, I recently met with our CFO and requested to purchase new chairs for me and several of my staff because the chairs we currently have are going on 10 years old and have no padding left. I figured since we are in these chairs up to eight hours a day it would be nice to have one that has padding. After pricing chairs at three stores and coming back with this information I was told to look through our office supplies books to find a comparable chair for cheaper.
I sent this picture to the CFO and let her know that I could not find a chair in the book that was comfortable. Thankfully, she has a decent sense of humor.
I'm happy to report that the CFO approved my request for new chairs and I don't have to order them from an office supply book.
