An Eagle Soars

Last night we had the honor of seeing our Trevor receive his Eagle award from the Boys Scouts of America. It was a great evening. When it was the fathers turn to speak Dan told a sweet story about a little eagle that was raised as a chicken and how the farmer ultimately helped him soar as an eagle. He challenged Trevor and Craig (the other Eagle and one of Trevor's buddies) to soar. Matthew and Krista and family came to the ceremony and Matthew sat in the eagles nest during the program. Alycia, Trevor's sweetheart also attended the program. One of the best moments was when Dan and I received our mother and father pins, but also when Trevor surprised his good friend and mentor for the past several years, Mr. Fred Hall, with the mentor pin. Mr. Hall joked later that he wouldn't have come had he known he was getting a pin. Funny, funny Mr. Hall. I had the honor of making the cake for the night. This was my first cake that I did entirely on my own using my cake decorating skills I learned last year. It was a hit so that was great. It was an amazing night and I was so tickled I wore my mother's pin to church today too. Yes, I'm a mother who never thought we'd see the day, but thank you, Trevor for making our dream for you come true. Soar, baby, soar.
