    This is what's left of my childhood home. I played hard.

This is was our neighbor's home- where our retarded adult friend lived that would not say bad words and said we shouldn't either because Jesus wouldn't like that.

Mixed Bags!

We are busy denying and preparing to take our girl to Michigan. It's a mixed bag. On one hand I've put off the car rental and hotel resvervations until today...on the other, been trying to think in terms of how to help her pack the maximum....I haven't set up skype. But I have vacuum bag sucked some of her stuff. I haven't sent a letter, but I'm already writing them in my heart.

I'm excited for Jamie. She's going to discover even more than ever. It'll be kindergarten all over again, in a sense. They learn SOOOO much that first year. I'm excited about her growth and independence. I'm excited she's going to live in a dorm with another girl. I'm excited she loves the Lord and wants to go deeper! I am excited about who she is what she will become. Jamie, Jamie, Jamie we're excited! Love from your mixed bag of nuts.
