Or is that onward and upward? I can't remember and I suppose it doesn't truly matter as I was simply refering to the fact that both girls bridged up in Girl Scouts today! Sigh....I have had a Brownie living in my house for 5 years.....until now...just one more thing on the list of "never agains". It was quite sweet as we did both troops together...mostly 'cause the other leader and I have girls in both troops and with all the 5th grade stuff, having two bridging ceremonies was just too much and so being able to do it all at once worked much better for us!(Yes, a bit selfish I suppose, but that is what happens when you are the leader, you get to pick things like that! )
I had the older girls give the younger girls a flower after they had bridged as a welcome to Juniors before that group moved on to becoming Cadettes....it worked quite well and seemed a good way to keep the girls involved and entertained all at once :-) Then the older girls bridged up and also received a flower from their leader before we all clapped and cried...ok, before I cried. I started choking up at the very first line I had to read at the beginning of the ceremony, sheesh, I am going to be a complete mess when these girls get old enough to graduate from High School!!!! But it was incredible to have gone on this journey and watched them grow and mature and truly become leaders and I am so thankful for the women that have helped guide them all along on this journey and...I only hope that I can and have had as good an influence on the younger troop that I am leading.
Anyway, that was a large chunk of my day but it was a good day overall. Started with a wonderful lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday and ended with celebrating Lexi's final final project at CCL.
And now I shall try and go to bed in anticipation of another full day tomorrow :-)
Blog ya later-
