I've been trying for days...

to blog - for some reason Blogger won't allow it. WOW! Look! Jason has graduated from Dallas Christian College. I cannot tell you how proud I am of him and all he has accomplished - not to mention sacrifice. We, as a family, are so thankful to God that He has carried us through. Jason will start graduate school this fall at Lubbock Christian University. This has been a long, but good journey and I feel this is just the beginning.... Allan graduates from Austin Grad Sunday so we will be going to Marble Falls to celebrate with them, as they have celebrated with us. Jason and Allan will be attending a Sermon Seminar at Austin Grad this week. I will be helping Carrie-Anne all I can for their move (she will be at work) and I will also be working on VBS for Graceton. This was my first Mother's Day ever away from our families. It has been nice to spend time just with my children, but it was very sad not to celebrate with my mom and Mamaw and Dee and Julia. I missed them. We have been growing butterflies lately. We have had 9 emerge from their chrysalis and have already set them free. We have 4 left and are sad to see them all go. We had to go to a lot of trouble to feed them and if it wasn't for Craig they would have died (he provided the milkweed). My sweet friend Amy has been back in touch with me lately. I am so very glad - I miss her and her heart.
Who has time to blog like that - not me, of course, I have always looked up to her. She is quite the Wonder Woman!
ok so here goes -
13 Reasons I am thankful this week
Thursday Thirteen
- my family is healthy
- and happy
- and all in my house
- and I love them.
- I got to see my family and friends in Mesquite this weekend.
- Jason is through with school - for now.
- our butterflies are beautiful - and people say there is no God.
- Graceton is a good place for us - we love the people and they are still excited we are here
- VBS is soon and I am excited about that!
- our kids are playing and I think that is sweet - so good to hear them laugh and enjoy each other's company - we have Batman, a magician (thanks Aunt Dee for the wizard hat), and Mr. Incredible.
- Jason is off today - when was the last time that happened when we didn't have commitments - mmmmmm - let me see..................................................................
- I am excited to be going to visit Allan and Carrie-Anne and their girls.
- Yay, Blake! I am not sure who will win American Idol, but I am glad these two are left, although Blake was robbed of his happy moment, people booed b/c Melinda went home, and they didn't announce he was a finalist. Jordin and Blake both have potential and Melinda will do well anyway.
