"My" last ACT

Lauren and I were up at 5:45am this morning and this was part of our reward.  A beautiful sunrise with amazing clouds!

This morning Lauren took her last ACT test in preparation for her college applications.  She did not use the same test preparation tutor, Dawn, that a few of other kids used, but we did use Dawn's test day secrets.  First secret, wake up at 5:45am and go for a mile run.  Then wear a business dress and then eat a very specific meal before and during the test break.

Lauren was very prepared for the test, unfortunatly, the testing center was not as prepared.  This is the first time the ACT was given in the shorter length.  Also, the Science section and writing portion are both optional.  This meant there were 3 groups of kids taking the test and the testing center them all mixed up.  So they had to rearrange kids accoridng to their needs.  This made the test start late and I’m sure make some kids more antsy.  Her friend, Elsa Nunley, brought her home after the test.  

Currently, the Honda Civic has been making some funny noises over the last few weeks and so we took it into the mechanic to see if they can figure out what is making all those noises.  

Chloë spent the morning with a new old friend. This is someone she has known for a while, but it’s never done anything with her on the weekend. It was fun to hear about Chloë‘s little adventure with her friend. They went to Ulta makeup store to find some concealer and contour make up. When Chloë got home we watched a 20 minute video on how to apply contour. It was very informative!

Later this afternoon, Tony and Christopher showed up. Christopher‘s dad is in a detox inpatient hospital. There was a little incident with him a few days ago and so I encouraged Daniel to reach out to Christopher‘s mom, Monika, to see if he and Tony would like to spend a few hours over here swimming. I figured Monika could use a little break. I hope she was able to do something for herself or get caught up at home.  She is such a kind, sweet lady. Currently she is a relief society president in the Camelback Branch.
