Long time no blog!! Again -

Was it really June when I posted last? Wow. Time flies. I am already back at my desk at work with ten minutes to spare before I need to quit doing my personal stuff, and get to the math.

We just got back from a wonderful vacation with the Robinsons, Christiansens, and Louisville Keisters. It was short but delightful! We were wined and dined the whole time we were there, with amazing breakfasts of homemade scones, homemade cheese danishes, elaborate bacon and eggs and toast, Mama's homemade bread, tilapia (one of Tom's favorites), and a wonderful pedicure with Debbie while Tom went to the bookstore. Believe me - he was just as happy as I was!

The kids had a great time and are so thankful for time with aunts, uncles, counsins and grandparents. It was a great trip!

Kesse is leaving on Saturday to go back to Bryan, and in God's providence, she was able to earn enough for another year! We are so very grateful for that. Kyrie too managed to earn enough for this coming year, and the two girls will be able to continue their education for another year. God is so gracious! We are thankful.

Jathan called yesterday and asked for prayer for Sonya ( his girlfriend), who was in a car wreck yesterday. She is okay, but the car was damaged, and it was the car that she was to take back to college with her this week. She was shaken up, but Jathan thought she was okay. Also, Jathan got a spider bite on his arm that might have been by a brown recluse. He is going to the doctor today to see. Later in the evening, he said he thought it seemed very localized, but needed to get it checked out all the same. He is supposed to come home in about 3 weeks.

Kayren starts school today, and Lorien kind of does. I am starting her on her Faith Academy stuff, even though she might be going to Grandview. We haven't heard yet whether she will be getting financial assistance or not.

Anyway - the school year begins! Wow - what a quick summer!
