Brief update

Well, so much has happened in the last few weeks so I'll just hit on some of the highlights.

Finals are over!!!! I ended the semester with my desired 4.0 by the skin of my teeth and the help of my friends. Finals week included many late night runs for some ice cream and orders from friends to calm down and remember that I would live through the week otherwise Amy would kill me. Wait, if I died then she couldn't have killed me! See what a finals brain will do to you? They tricked me! Ha.

Well, as finals ended the same day Amy arrived to visit for a week. We took several day trips and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We hung out with friends and I took her to my regular Bible studies so she could see who all I hung out with and what we do. I even got to teach her how to play jungle!

David graduated almost 2 weeks ago! Lots of family came in to celebrate and we enjoyed the visiting time. Along with his graduation weekend I got the pleasure of having a swing break on me and send me flying. The adventures seem to never end.

Esh left for Israel right after Memorial day. A few tears were shed and goodbyes said. I'm just really thankful for the vonage phone! We've been able to talk almost everyday so far so that has been nice.


Well, I guess that's pretty much the highlights. Oh, and I got summoned for jury duty for the first time. :(


Worst of all David got held up at work. That was a first and hopefully a last. Nobody was injured thankfully but it was a pretty wild experience.

Here are some pictures.

This post makes me happy!

A 4.0 by the skin of your teeth... whatever. You need to get over it: you're just a smart cookie. You didn't barely hang onto your GPA, you stinkin' earned it! :oP

And I think my favorite pic is of you and Esh kissing the jackrabbit. Definitely cuter than us. :o)

I miss yooou. And tell Matt, no more getting held up... I will come to Midland and take him down. *nods*

I'm glad you enjoyed it. My history gpa was so on the line. It could have easily been a B!

Esh is cute in that a pic cause she had to stand on her toes!
