A Smashing Success

Well, it's May and the year is almost over.

We are into parade season, alumni weekend, the Military ball and of course the end of school.

Wil and Maggie had a great time at the ball. Maggie's friend Kelsy had a good time with Miles and he's even planning on visiting her over Mother's Day weekend (his parents are stationed in Japan, so his mom won't be left out . . .).

All the parades during parade season are different and very well done. On Mother's day we were allowed to go to the field and wave to our sons and get up close and personal photos as they marched by. Very special.

Wil has exceeded everyones expectations academically and made the honor roll all five terms.
It has been a hard year on all of us, but very fruitful.

We have given Wil the choice this time as to whether he will return to FUMA or not. His deadline for a decision was Mother's day weekend.
He told us that there's really very little that he likes abut FUMA. The rules are stupid, the food is incredibly awful, the shoes and uniforms are ridiculously uncomfortable and most of the cadets are stupid and spoiled. But, he also said he liked football and LaCrosse and knows that he can't get these kind of grades any where else.
He has asked us to go ahead and send in the deposit for year two at FUMA.

He is such a good kid.
