D and I got back from Tucson last night, so a full recap post will be coming soon. Stay tuned for that excellence.
But in other news, I had a surprising, yet decidedly awesome, letter waiting for me when we got home. R told me I had received a piece of mail from my high school, and I thought big deal, wonder what that’s all about? A reunion or the alumni association looking for pledges?
Neither. It was something much, much better.
They’re inducting me into the Peoria High School Athletic Hall of Fame!!
Me? Seriously?? I’m going to be in a Hall of Fame! Wahoo!!
They are announcing my selection for the Hall of Fame at a luncheon in October, so all of you in the Peoria area please feel free to swing by and hoot and holler when they call my name. You can even make signs if you want. Lots of glitter, as long as it doesn’t get anywhere near me.
I’m so excited, and honestly couldn’t be more proud. For as little as I really keep in contact with anyone/anything having to do with my high school years, an induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame is a huge honor. I always saw those plaques hanging in the walls and thought what a cool feeling that would be, but I never in a million years thought it would actually happen to me.
Now I’ll just have to make sure they spell my name right, since the envelope was addressed to “Joselyn”. Um, that would be J-o-c-e-l-y-n, thank you very much.
Awesome!!! What an amazing feeling! The halls of Peoria High School will be a better place because of it! Way to go! 😉
@Suzanne aka The Wineabe Thank you so much, Suzanne!!
You should totally toot your own horn. That’s quite an accomplishment – one which should not go unrecognized! Congrats! Hope they get your name right… that could be really embarrassing for them! 🙂
@natalie@FourJedis Thank you, Natalie!! Ha – I know, I emailed the woman in charge of the admin stuff for the Hall of Fame and she got it fixed. Apparently she had it right everywhere except the letter they sent me. Whew! I’m so used to my name being misspelled every which way over the years, but on something like this I want it correct! 😉
congrats, what a great honor!!
@KatieChapman Thank you, Katie!!
Hooray!! congratulations– that’s a pretty cool honor!
@adventuroo Thank you, Melissa!!
