Merry Christmas

Another Christmas has come upon us, and I hope it finds you happy, healthy, and among those you love. Kylie, Melissa, and I all got to spend the morning and early afternoon together, as is the custom. Kylie seemed to be happy with everything Santa left for her and the items that Melissa and I got her as well. When I asked Kylie what her favorite gift was, she named off everything, so I take that as a good sign. After Kylie left Melissa and I just spent the rest of the day relaxing, and wishing Kylie could still be with us. Hopefully everyone else had a great day too.

Second Annual Secure-24 Holiday Party

Tonight was my second S24 Holiday Party, and once again it was a blast! Once again it was at The Fillmore and we had 2013-12-15 20.33.19a room at The Westin Book Cadillac, which means the venue was awesome and our room was amazing! The party, like last year’s, was incredible. The Killer Flamingos performed all night, and they rocked! Like last year there was an excellent open bar, delicious food, and some pretty sweet raffles. However, due to the economy and some budgeting issues, there were some differences as well. This year there were no professional photographers roaming the party, no caricatures, and no delectable donuts at the end of the party to take home. That being said, the party was still a blast! In fact, this year might have been better than last year on a personal level because this year I knew more people in the company, so we felt more included. We are already looking forward to next year, and there is even talk about Ren, Alex, and I all rocking out bow ties! While I am not certain if that will actually happen, I am certain it will be another blast!

Parent Teacher Conference

Today Tiffany went to Kylie’s parent teacher conference, and we got some great updates on Kylie’s progress. At this time Kylie is above average in Spelling and Social Studies and is performing at level in everything else! Including math! In fact Kylie has improved so much, and is performing so much better in math specifically, that her teacher thinks continuing with tutoring at Sylvan at this point is a waste of time and money. Her teacher is so confident in Kylie’s ability to continue performing at this level, and to not have a relapse of any issue, that she said  if Kylie does need additional help that she will tutor her for free! This is some awesome progress for the first three months! We are looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring.
