IF IT WERE UP TO ME,
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER AN A!
Maybe even an E (for Emily).
But she is thrilled with the letter W.
Her letter jacket was presented to her last week at a band parent night.
As soon as it is not quite 100 degrees outside, I am sure we'll be seeing a lot more of this jacket and grin out and about. So, maybe November?
The minute she received her jacket, Emily was more than pumped to put it on and wear it; only to find that this is THE hottest jacket she has ever owned! (Talking temperature). As I watched her expression change from elation to crestfallen when she found it to be rather uncomfortable in the heat, I wondered if letter-swimsuits instead of letter-jackets might be a good idea for the students in TX.
Way to go Emi! You're Wonderful!
How cool, Emily!
I love my letter-jacket, too. And let me tell you... You'll find ways to wear it. It may be hot outside, but isn't it cold inside?
And that jacket looks so good on you! I'm guessing that you lettered in band, right? That, I think, really blows me away. I know how much hard work it takes to do that, and I am so proud!
Keep up the good, hard work!
Love you, Em!

Karen,
Don't know if you realized the pun... Band - blows me away. Well Emily has blown quite hard for quite some time and now she has a jacket to prove it.
