Jacob had one of those extra wonderful, shout-for-joy-amazing weeks full of awesome news and events. You know, the kind that make you want to look back and remember when you are having a really-bad-terrible-awful-no good week.
First of all, he led his debate team into an amazing victory - his first debate ever! The comments used to describe his performance were "excellent" and "aggressive"! Yay Jacob!!
Here he is, all decked out for the debate. The word "handsome" doesn't begin to describe how I think he looks. I know I am his mom, but... still.
He also found out this week that he has secured an internship on Capitol Hill in the office of a congressman from Arizona. He will be working with/shadowing his chief of staff, and will have opportunities to tour the capitol, go to the Pentagon, observe the workings of congress, and possibly attend a reception or dinner. He will need to wear his suit and tie and take the metro down to DC each day! This is really an exciting and rare opportunity!!
THEN he goes to shooting practice and shoots the highest score he has ever scored in the standing position. Here is a copy of his target.
I zoomed in on the target so you can see that he got a 95!! (this is out of 100). This score is definitely high enough to get him recruited into the academy if he were to keep it up!!
As he puts it, it was his "personal best".
AND THEN!!!!! During shooting practice he received a medal for his shooting in the last shooting match he had! He had come in second in his division. He had no idea he would get a medal so what a surprise that was!!

Needless to say, Danny and I could not be more proud, and so happy to watch him have a week of successes!!!
