Press pass

Hayden has an internship! 

Hayden is an official reporter for the Scottsdale Chronicle newspaper. He has an internship at Scottsdale Community College and is an official reporter with his very own press pass. 

To say he is excited doesn't do justice for how he feels. 

Grandma Julie helped Hayden to achieve this coveted position. He will review attractions, events, products, activities and write up reviews for the paper. He will attend events and write about them so that students with children will be able to find fun family events to attend. 

Of course, if Julie is involved, she does it all top notch. Hayden and Max have official press passes. She has pulled all kinds of strings and has opened unbelievable doors for Hayden. 

Hayden's interviews begin this week. He gets to go to The 13th Floor haunted house and interview the actors. Then they will show him some of the tricks and set ups with the lights on. He will interview with a photographer and write up his thoughts, observations and stories. Then he will be able to experience the attraction just like everyone else. To say he is excited is an understatement. 

Julie has pulled off some other great events for Hayden. She got Hayden and Thomas into the Arizona State Fair. He will be attending events from the press box. They are planning on seeing some circus performers, ice carvers and most important, they will have reserved tickets and back stage passes to Trace Adkins. I secretly think Thomas is more excited than Hayden. Although Hayden is really looking forward to it. They are even hoping to interview people there. 

The other HUGE event scheduled.....tickets in the press box to the ASU-U of A football game. Hayden will sit with the press as they broadcast live. He also gets all you can eat food/drinks. With pre game interviews with whichever players he wants. 

He is excited about the game but most excited to see ASU beat U of A so he can but his Aunt Jodi. 

I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation for this in Hayden's life. It is a bright shiny spot in our otherwise dark skies. I am so glad he can focus on the good and exciting opportunities that lie ahead. 

He is becoming a great writer. He has the love of writing, just like his momma. I love it. I love watching him love and embrace such a great talent. Makes a momma's heart happy.
