Memory Lane. Thankful for this guy and friends who saw fit to deem me an honorary Pi Phi

– If this is my thank you for hosting reunion, I\’ll do it every year


– \”God shots\” in Numbers – God hates complaining, and he also (sometimes) gives very specific instructions 

– Blue tassels on garments – \”so you will remember all the commands of the Lord.\” I\’m not the only one who needs constant reminders. (also from Numbers)

– More memory lane. Wowzers what this brings back
circa \’94-95
– Love love love working from home

– He bought this outfit for real

– Adam\’s mom making sure we\’re making senior baseball memories one way or another

Goodness there\’s a lot of seniors

 – A boy and his dog

 – Celebrating John\’s signing

OK Wesleyan-bound

 – Hud\’s fav is blooming

 – These showed up on my window sill, with a \”please don\’t move the lettuce stalks mom, they\’re so pretty.\” I\’ll let you guess which kid

(hint – blonde nature lover)

 – Bran asking Daboo if she needed help with anything  – and she did!

 – Essie\’s darling, tiny find

– How he multi-tasks while on a conference call

– This bird, this nest. I am inspired.

– \”You have not been left to secure your own future, because God in his grace has secured an end to your story more glorious than you can grasp.\”  – P. Tripp

– A continued letting go of (and crashing of) false idols 

– Hud – Salutatorian. Wow wow wow. That the Lord saw it fit to publicly honor his hard work and much sacrifice. Thank you, Father. 

– Both girls signed up for two weeks at Kanakuk – I am just giddy they get to experience Kamp. 


– Corbin wearing a certain baseball hat for the first time since Jan 2019. I had no idea. 

– All kids home for Mother\’s day, along with both grandmoms. Corbin planning lunch, even with being gone the last 3 days with my BU friends here. Sweet words around the table, all four kids with tears. Joy\’s note. 

Olive wood rolling pin I\’d had my eye on – tricky for Corbin to get during Corona but he managed






– Kanakuk AND Sky Ranch CO open this summer! 

– My discouragement, Corbin\’s timely and comforting words. Just right. 

– Reminders that I care more about living under our means than I care about trendy clothes and home decor. And that I care more about my children\’s hearts and maturity than about outward performance and reputation. Sometimes these feel like upside down truths, but they are the truth. 

– Giving people the benefit of the doubt – worth it. Especially when they do the same for me.

– B\’s lunch

– \”Never forget that what God required you couldn\’t do. Christ did it for you. His grace is your hope.\” – P. tripp

– Driving east to 30A…

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles…   1 Chronicles 16:11-12
