Wonderful Christ Filled Weekend

We just returned home from our Annual weekend in Nashville, TN. Our Lads to Leaders and Leaderettes had a wonderful weekend. We had lots of fun and glorified God in many ways. These wonderful young people are setting an amazing Christian example for the world to follow and will be the future of the Lord's church. I am so excited and proud to be a mom of two, well three or more, of these young people.

Here's a small recap, since I cannot remember what everyone got.
Mary made finalist in her speech, the first one she has done since 3rd grade. She did well leading her song as well and on her Bible bowl team and her photo. She also received a medal for Parade of Winners and Good Samaritan. Already making plans on what she wants to do next year.

Christopher, since he is under 2nd grade, participated in Song leading and received a certificate. He also received a medal for Good Samaritan and Parade of Winners.

Jonah participated in speech and from what I hear he did really good. He won 3rd place in his song leading.

All our Bible bowl teams, but one, placed 2nd or 1st. They did great. We had several speech winners and song leading winners.

Over all it was a wonderful, Christ filled weekend and we loved it. My hands and feet are finally starting to go down, they have been swollen today from all the walking we did since Thursday.

Congrats to all our young people!!!!

Almost Done

I am now in my last semester at Bevill. Yes, it has been that long. I am on the downward slide toward finals at the end of this month. So I will be busy and crazy for the next month. We will also be going to Nashville the weekend before finals for our Annual Lad to Leaders Leaderettes convention. Our kiddos have all been working hard and making great progress. My finals will begin the Wednesday after we get back on Sunday. Yikes!!! But the rainbow at the end will be I will graduate from Bevill on May 12th and I cannot wait. Then I have to go to UAB for however long it takes to get all of the math and education classes done, Hopefully not too long maybe two years. Everyone who would like to come to graduation is welcome. I better get off here and get some assignments done and then go decorate a baby cake for tomorrow. Will post pics when I finish - sometime.
