Heather, Brad, and Taylor are heading back to college today. This is Taylor's first year, Brad's third, and in just 4 more classes, Heather will be done! That will be a day to celebrate! She cannot wait to be done. They attend college here in Charlotte.
Lindsay is gearing up this week to head back to UNCG this Saturday. We will load up cars and make the trip to move her into her first apartment. She is "slightly" excited (about the apartment, not school :)
And then, of course, Caleb, heads back to high school next Thursday to begin his senior year!
Last night we had a "back to school" dinner with everyone here (even Brad's dogs). We enjoyed tacos and one of my homemade cookie cakes with icecream, hot fudge, and whipped cream! Okay, I will say that was AMAZING!!!
Scott then led us in a devotional on I Corinthians 13....Love is patient, Love is kind, Love does not envy, Love does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS!
Ok, we all know that verse. But is that truly how we act. More importantly, is that truly how we treat each other...our siblings, our husband/wife. He made it personal and very interactive. He asked us to look at each other and apply it. "Is that how you treat your brother and sister? Is that how you treat your boyfriend/girlfriend? Is that how mom and I treat each other?"
It was great and a very special time. Then we all went around the table and prayed for each other. What a great way to spend an evening.
We ended the evening playing cards and pictionary. Man, I cannot draw!!!! Every animal I draw looks like a dog and I have no idea where 40 of the 50 states are to draw on a map. Oh well, it was still so much fun!!!!!
PS Saturday night, we went bowling and to Krispy Kreme. I was doing some amazing bowling, if I should say so myself. I'll let the scores do the talkin'! :)
PSS Scott learned that a bad back and knee are not good for bowling!!!
