Here I am, catching up on all the stuff that has happened. This little event happened a couple of weeks ago but I'm posting about it just now, so here it is.....

So Nathan entered two of his art pieces in the CBC student art gallery this year. One was of a snake that he made out of bullet slugs and shells and the other was of a T.V. that he constructed with wire men he glued all around the frame. He worked like crazy on both of them, staying up till the morning hours or even staying up all night and not sleeping some nights. It was crazy. Then today we attended the award ceremony and to his surprise he won first place in sculpture!!!!! It was for the T.V. We were so excited! It's a cash reward too, so Nathan is already making money with his art. He's amazing. I'm really proud of how well he is doing in school. He decided to get an AA with an emphasis in art so it will take him a little longer than we originally planned for him to get his AA but we don't mind hanging around longer. We love it here. We were also happy to find out that he received two scholarships to help him out this year. Like I said, he's one amazing guy. We've been blessed a whole lot since we've come here. We've been given so much help and support, it's amazing.
