Welcome to my journal! Enjoy your stay, and please feel free to comment!
Today is Jill's birthday!
To Jill, we wish a long life!
Not only was she born back then...
but she's been BORN-AGAIN!
Praise Yeshua (means Jesus) for LIFE!
Jill,
just wanted to be the first to wish you a Happy 39th Birthday! Now, are you gonna be like Grandma and tell everyone you are still 39, thirty years from now?
Love ya, sis!
I liked the photo you sent, but wondered whose boots those were... Have a great day! Give Noah a big kiss from his Auntie Gayle!
Rebekah will soon be 19, and is heading for college in less than 3 weeks. She's going to a Christian college down south. Kevin, her boyfriend, age 20, is going there too, for his sophomore year. Many people would find that a concern, but we are actually happy about it. Kevin is a rare find, truly a young man after God's own heart, and very honorable. He's a true gentleman, who would do nothing to harm Rebekah, but will rather watch over her in our stead. He has shown himself to be loyal, helpful, and kind. Also, he's very bright and hard-working, not to mention tall and handsome. It's a good thing she got his attention and loyalty before some other girl spotted him! (They've been "an item" since 11th and 12th grades.)
I think Rebekah is looking forward to the whole college experience. I'm so glad she won't be as far away as Sarah Jane was her first year. I look forward to having her come home every so often, something Sarah Jane couldn't do. I'm going to get to see the campus this time, as David and I will take her together. That'll be really neat!
Rebekah's major is musical theatre. I think she'll really enjoy that major, though she just found out that she still has to complete some more math credits...
We're throwing a combo birthday/graduation party for Rebekah just before we take her college. It's going to be an open house. I've never done that before. I hope it's fun and relaxing. I'll make up a bunch of egg salad and meat platters before-hand, and just keep putting it out, along with chips and veggie-trays. Maybe I'll make some white pizza dip. That's usually popular. It's mainly cheese and pizza spices with chopped pepperoni thoughout. You dip torn pieces of bread in it.
