We have had a very eventful spring--with the graduation of two of our children--our daughter, Katie, and her husband, Cody, both graduated from Utah State University in Logan, Utah...and we are so proud of them. Graduating from college is a huge accomplishment...and no small feat for anyone. We are thankful they stuck it out, and did that. Now Cody is working for the company that he did an internship with, and Katie is awaiting the birth of their first child...so it is an exciting year for them.
Tonight we had the privilege of watching our daughter, Jodie, perform in a play, "The Little Mermaid," with other handicapped adults. These plays, as I've said before, are a total delight to watch and to be part of. There is pure joy on that stage, and you come away with that same joy in your hearts.
Our daughter, Kelsey, has decided to come back to Arizona to live here, and to complete her college education on line. We are looking forward to having her live back here, and know that she has felt the hand of the Lord in this decision. She continues to be such a blessing to us.
My children surprised me in helping their dad give me a surprise party for my birthday this year--it was a "monumental" year, so that was a wonderful surprise! I was surrounded by people and family whom I love--and felt totally loved and cared about.
I will try to be a little more regular in writing in here. I have a dear friend at church who reminds me that I need to write more often!! Hopefully, I can listen to her advice and actually DO better. Have a happy Memorial Day weekend, and may the Lord's blessings be with you. I will put one picture in of me and two of my daughters and my cute grandson on my birthday.
