The next big thing in my life is that I have FINALLY gotten all the requirements for my Eagle Scout rank finished. And not a moment too soon. All I have left to do is my Eagle Board of review. At the Eagle Boar, they ask you questions about the scout skills you've learned, about your Eagle project, and some general life questions. This is not some wimpy "Hi-all-your-requirements-are-done-we-pass-you" sort of thing. If you aren't up to speed on skills, your project, or especially life in general, the board will not pass you.
As many of you know (and many don't), my Eagle project was building props for the ballet teacher in town. Our troop with help from a carpenter friend of ours built two "houses" with three walls and a roof out of 2x2 lumber and plywood. They were designed with the dimensions of a pickup truck in mind, so they can be taken apart, transported, and put back together fairly easily, if not especially quickly. The previous props that had been used were a pile of particle board on the floor of a shed, so the point of the new props was to make them last a few years. Oddly enough, the ballet teacher in question announced her retirement about four days before the recital. Life is just weird, isn't it?
Oh, and I also turned 18 yesterday. Is that enough of a life change for you?

Well, that is something. The last big somethings that will happen while living here at home, perhaps. You earned the Eagle, but God graced you with the 18th. Enjoy them both.
Too much change for me!!! Congratulations on both of them - looking forward to what God has in store for you next. By the way, you are a good writer. Keep it up.
Love you - Aunt Susan
Impressive.
Yeah, life is weird. I agree.
