Currently at the Nobles

It's almost time for Carrie's graduation and her senior trip to Colorado, but there are some other items to report that are worth noting in the Nobles household!

Since Alyssa graduated from Berry on May 5 she has been busy getting things ready for VBS at Calvary.  She also has pre-institute reading and work to prepare for Teach for America that begins in June.  In short, she is not still for long!

Aaron finished his semester at KSU, and though he didn't make Dean's List, he definitely had a better spring semester than in years past!!!  He took 15 hours of classes, worked at Olive Garden 20 plus hours a week, and refereed high school soccer games.  To his credit he also was a ref for 2 state playoff games, which pays very nicely!

Carrie has officially finished high school with her last exam on Tuesday!  She made a 99 on her Biology test, so she pulled her grade up to complete the semester.  She is working at Chick-fil-A, writing thank you notes, making gifts for graduating friends and learning to use her new MacBook Pro!!  Yep, we splurged and bought her an Apple.  I know it is a good investment.  She also played in her last piano recital on Monday night.  She played a Chopin Waltz and Pachelbel's Canon in D.  She did a lovely job, and I am very proud of her for continuing piano through a busy high school career.

Kate continues to swim with Three Rivers Swim Club, which keeps her busy after school and some weekends. She recently got her CRCT scores, and I'm pleased to report that she exceeded in 4 of 5 subjects!! Another recent accomplishment was making the Rome Middle School Leadership Team.  This year a teacher had to nominate you before you could even apply.  Kate was not nominated, but wasn't going to be deterred.  She stepped up and requested an application, it was granted.  She got an interview and made the team. I'm proud of her determination.

Kate receives her gold cup at recital.

Kate received her 30 point gold cup for the National Federation of Music Clubs from our local chapter.  This means she has received a superior rating 6 years in a row.  She also participated in the National Piano Guild Auditions, preparing a program of 8 memorized pieces.  She continues to enjoy band (playing trombone!) and chorus at Rome Middle School.

Randy is trying to decide about retirement.  He plans to wait until Kate finished RMS next year, but with changes in the TRS, he may change his mind and retire sooner if it makes sense economically.  Stay tuned!  Meanwhile, only two more days of school!!!

Kathryn is trying to keep everything under control at home with graduations, trip planning, and waiting for doors to open or close in her life.  Also, the family is transitioning to a new church in the coming months...again, details to come.  We have been faithful members and servants at Calvary since our college days, but the season of our life is changing.  We sense God is leading us to a new place to worship and serve.
