I didn’t actually go anywhere, I just haven’t been blogging lately. So, I’m back to my blog
Things here in Texas have been going great. Last week was extremely busy at work; it was graduation so we had a full week of events. Last Wednesday night I watched a vocal recital by one of our graduating seniors, Stephanie Lamprea, who will be going to the Manhattan School of Music. Her voice is incredible. I took my camera and created a little movie; it is on the TMI flickr page at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tmiepiscopal (it is located under the vocal recital set). The other thing I’ll mention here is that I did not use a tripod to film this movie; however, iMovie (from Apple) has a new feature in their iLife 09 that stabilizes video…it is an incredible feature.
So, that was last Wed. On Friday, we had Baccalaureate. Now, I had no idea what that was…but, when I got there, I found out it was a special Eucharist church service. I think the Mormons hold the record for the longest services, but this one was about an hour and a half…perhaps a close second
Finally, on Saturday evening we had graduation. Our graduating class of 63 seniors have graduated from TMI-The Episcopal School of Texas and have also brought in over $4 million dollars in scholarship offers. We have an incredible academic program and some incredible kids
I also shot some video of graduation, but haven’t had a chance to view it yet.
So that brought the week to a close. We are now settling into our summer routine at the school.
Both of our puppies are doing well. However, we lost one of our ferrets about a week and a half ago. Tazzi was an old ferret, about 7.5 years. Since ferrets typically live about 7 seven years, she lived a full and active life. She had become really sick and we believe she had a stroke. Rexi, the little brown ferret, seems to be doing pretty good. She’s about 2 years younger and is still active and happy.
Now that we’re back to a normal routine, I’ll get back into my blogging! I’ve really embraced the social networking…not only do I have my blog, I also have flickr, facebook, linked in, and I twitter at TMI!
