National Adoption Day

Posted At: 7:19am by AgentDelta
Saturday was National Adoption Day. My family was among those taking part. We have now officially adopted our first foster child: Avonleigh Grace. Sorry, no pictures at the present time. Bug me enough and I might get around to putting one up. ;-)

In other news, I got my SAT scores back. For those of you who wanted to know, I got a 2080: 770 on critical reading, 670 on math, and 640 on writing. I will take it again on December 2. I figure it can't hurt to try for a higher score, since most colleges accept your highest score. Blogger Smiley I also found out that Hillsdale doesn't really consider the scores from the essay portion of the SAT, which is good for me, because that's the section I did the worst on.

I recently sent in my application to Hillsdale, so I should hear back from them soon.

In other news, HT lock-ins are awesome. You should have one in your area. Pr. Borghardt was the speaker at the one I went to this weekend. His topic? "The Law, the Gospel, and What to do with the Rest of my Life." Sound familer? Don't worry. It was just as good the second time around as it was the first.:-)

We (the people at the lock-in) also got to watch the new HT promotion DVD, with scenes from The Feast. I'm in it. Blogger Smiley So are Paul, Andrew, and Nat, to name a few.  AND I got to see the Beryl graphics on Pr. B's laptop. The graphics are so much better than those on Mac OS. Linux rocks! (Look here to see what I'm talking about.)

All for now. Have a happy Thanksgiving. And please, don't call it Turkey Day. :-)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!! Post pictures!!! PLEASE!!!!

also... Don't worry I won't call it turkey day. "Turkey day" is when the turkeys leave... and then come back in neat little packages. :-p

Re: National Adoption Day

Me again... Of *course* Paul is on it! He was only practiacally dancing in front of the camera for the plenary... Maggie and I wanted to throw stuff at him (or at least I did...) Of course he could be in there for other stuff.

Paul is not dancing in front of the camera on the DVD. He is sitting down, looking very studious, focusing at whoever is speaking.

Re: National Adoption Day

That's very cool. How old is Avonleigh? Blogger Smiley :-P

Ooh, congrats on your SAT scores! Those are almost scarily close to my scores. Are you sure *you* aren't my long lost twin? Blogger Smiley I'll be glad if Hillsdale doesn't look too much at my writing score too. I got 660. I'm sending my application very soon. As in... as soon as I finish that essay. Which I should go do. Yeah. Blogger Smiley

Oops. In between the smiley face and the :-P up there in my first comment should be a:

Well...I'm Aaron's twin.

Avonleigh is 19 months old. And a picture should come soon. Just bug me some more. Blogger Smiley

Well, Aaron didn't seem to have a problem with having more than one twin, so why should you? ;)

But he's not my twin now. :D

Am I bugging you yet? ;)

I never said I had a problem with having more than one twin. Isn't there a twinness test, or did I pass it with the SAT scores? :P

No, you aren't bugging me, but I'll put a picture up anyway. Blogger Smiley

Re: National Adoption Day

An adopted younger sister? Congrats! :)

Good job on your SAT scores. ..."good"? No, GREAT job! I do highly recommend taking the SAT twice or more. I only got 1950 on my first try (710 verbal, 700 math, and 540 writing), but I improved that greatly on my second try, reaching 2110 with 740 on verbal, 730 on math, and 640 on writing. I'm really glad that writing scroes still aren't that important to colleges since I id fairly worse than you and Heidi Mae.

What?!? I'm not on the HT DVD?!?

Hmm... it cut off the rest of my comment....

Yeah, that was good enough. Blogger Smiley I proclaim you also my twin. Don't listen to anything Aaron says. Blogger Smiley

Re: National Adoption Day

Bah! You can't be his twin, miss! I'm his twin, and I'm dating you. :P

Thanks!

Well..I don't remember seeing you on the DVD. If you want to look for yourself, you could start a big HT campaign so that HT would send you a DVD...:P

Soooooooo...If I listen to Heidi, I have 2 twins. If I listen to Aaron, I have one twin. If I listen to both Aaron and Heidi, I have two twins who are dating each other...Interesting...:D
btw, congrats on your return to Sithdom, Aaron. It's good to have you back. Blogger Smiley

Hmm, I think my dad ordered a copy of that DVD... I wonder when it would come.

Hehehe. How is that different than you or someone else having more than one twin? :P

Lol! Interesting is a good way to describe it... Blogger Smiley

I might have to do that. ...even if I'm not on the DVD, it would helpfor all the people I try to persuade in favour of HT conferences.
Soooooooo...If I listen to Heidi, I have 2 twins. If I listen to Aaron, I have one twin. If I listen to both Aaron and Heidi, I have two twins who are dating each other...Interesting...:D
Hehe. So I need to hope you don't listen to Heidi or maybe just half-listen to her or something? :P
btw, congrats on your return to Sithdom, Aaron. It's good to have you back. :D
Thank you. It's good to be back. I noticed the email I just got from you says I'm "Aaron Nemoyer - Jedi"; you can change that back now. :D
Hehehe. How is that different than you or someone else having more than one twin? :P
Umm... It's not? :P
