Highlights

I feel like it has been crazy busy here since returning from pre-summer break. However, below are a few quick highlights from the following month:

Visitors: My cousin Jay and his family came to Branson for vacation and we got to have lunch.

Graduation: My Nonnie and Mommie came up for my graduation. It was a total blessing and so special to have them there as our class was honored and we remembered how the Lord has worked in each of our lives. Our graduation ceremony was August 7th even though we are not finished until tomorrow (August 30th). It is just easier this way.

Reconciliation: I cannot go into the details but I had a really hard, but really good weekend the day my Nonnie and Mommie left.

Rendezvous: One of the Littles and I went out to this coffee house in Springfield called Rendezvous. We both brought our writings and spent two hours reading them to each other. It was fun. We have been wanting to do this for a time, but it hadn't worked out. We got it though right before she went on break.

Parrots: One of the Big Brothers here, Matt, is married and has three kids (a fourth on the way). On occasion I go over and play. I love it. Below is a picture I took last night while babysitting for the last time. It's the best. It was hard to get everyone to be ready at the same time. They are precious and such a joy.
