Today was senior recognition for Meg and the rest of her class at Bethany. As we had not been to an event like this at Bethany before, we weren't quite sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised at how personal it was. Each senior was recognized by a staff member with the highlights of their high school career displayed on the big screen in the chapel. Meg was not only mentioned in her speech, but in several others as well. It was a wonderful reminder of how well she had adjusted to the transfer of schools and how much of an impact she had made in her two years as part of Bethany's class of 2019. It was sad when they spoke about KeShawn, but other than that it was a special ceremony that Mom, Dad, Doug and I were all happy to have attended. Meg was pleased with how the recognition was handled and was proud of her achievements. She, Nick, Kevin and Phillip celebrated with dinner at Olive Garden before heading back to Goshen to listen to more senior faith statements. It was a special day for her and one she will long remember.
Cameron had a fantastic day with his Bethany friends as well. He and the eighth grade class spent it together in Chicago enjoying some shopping and good food. I received a video mid-afternoon of he and Avery trying pizza and bacon flavored chocolate outside of Dylan's candy shoppe. It was quite funny. When Doug picked Cam up at 8:15 p.m. he had several more stories and videos to share. His group had spent the majority of the day walking the Magnificent Mile. Cam not only bought the chocolate, but also spent his money on a water art piece to add to his collection. He ate lunch at Giordano's but decided on a Stromboli sandwich instead of pizza. Tonight before he headed downstairs to play Madden with Cal he showed us a video of the seven members in his group emerging from a revolving door. We were very happy to see that he had had such a fun day.
