What I'm Reminiscing About
I have been reminiscing about Diana's Junior Year quite a bit...all of the highs and lows...it was an exciting and exhilarating year as well as stressful and heartbreaking and I am proud of my girl for riding all of the crazy waves
What I'm Loving
All of the Senior Year Traditions for Diana- The Kick Off Cheer Dinner- Senior Sashes- Senior Mom Buttons and then Dresses on the First Day of School...Senior Sunrise...a real HOCO this year with the big game AND dance happening in October...so much fun!

The Summer I Turned Pretty- Season 3- Duh
and my book for August was
Murder At The High School Reunion by Lee Hollis (Book 3 in Series)
After all these years, Maya and Sandra have mixed feelings about
seeing their high school classmates, but in one sense the evening
promises to be something of a red carpet event. A shy wallflower in
school, Alyssa Turner has blossomed into an Oscar-nominated actress—and
she’s coming to the reunion.
To their surprise, before the event,
Alyssa contacts Maya and Sandra. She’s going to be playing a private
eye and would like to hear about their experiences. When they meet, she
confides she was bullied in school by cheerleader Tawny Bryce and her
mean girls’ clique while also having a huge crush on Tawny’s boyfriend,
the star quarterback.
When Tawny’s body is discovered the night
of the reunion behind the bleachers, the spotlight is on Alyssa. She
turns to Maya and Sandra to find the real killer. But is she as innocent
as she seems—or turning in another Oscar-worthy performance?
Loved it! This series is light, fun and keeps you guessing!
What I'm Listening To
The Beginning of Diana's Senior Year Play List which includes hits by The Weekend, Drake and Benson Boone to name a few
