Dear Family,
Having my ducks in a row gives
me a smile. I like things neat, clean
and minimal. Having a child out of the
state did not make me smile. I am glad
Adriel came home from a weekend trip to visit friends. She paid for her own plane tickets, flew by
herself and had fun. Adriel did say she
missed me. She also asked, “So how did
it feel having me gone a couple of days?”
I said, “Normal” and meant it.
Yet, when I think of it, I did have some withdrawals. I dreamed sex slavers stole her, prayed like
crazy and texted more often than normal just to make sure she was alive. Yes, I missed her, my beautiful girl, out
there alone in the world. Yikes!
Adriel drew two drawings this
week! She also gave several hugs which I
will miss when she goes to college. Adriel
also told me I have to tell Seth he needs to shave his mustache. “No, I think it’s cute.” She may be exasperated but I like the sign of
Seth’s maturity. Bobby also said Seth
has to shave because it is awkward. I
looked it up and Seth looks fine compared to this guy.
Seth continues to say
verses. He’s doing two at a time through
Colossians 2:6-21. I am so glad he
doesn’t fight me. He likes going to camp
and this does earn him a scholarship.
Seth showed me a strong bias
against sexism. We listened to a snippet
of “Breaking Cover: My Secret Life in the CIA and What It Taught Me.” Michele Assad said she was looked over during
training because of her gender. Seth mentioned
that was bad with disdain. We have been
watching ALIAS season 1 so we have a mutual feeling that females can do
kickboxing way better than men. Yeah, it
is unrealistic but this true CIA story sure is fun to listen to and I love
Seth’s input.
Bobby cooked several wonderful
meals. He was especially pleased when
Seth went back for thirds! How fun. Bobby also showed a lot more patience than I
believe I will ever possess. He helped
Adriel figure out how to get home when the airport was having massive technical
difficulties. He was available all day
Monday to bring her home from the airport.
What a great dad.
Youth group again had comedy
gold. A Wenius is a slang term used to describe
the skin at the tip of the elbow. You can imagine the jokes in the middle
school group.
Bobby and I enjoyed the annual
Mission Mexico Team Quatro De Mayo dinner.
It was fun to enjoy great company and fabulous food.
Bobby was excited to get a
smoker and some other various things from his mom. Seth helped load – yay for a strong son! We are blessed by Bobby’s mom. He’s excited to cook on it and already made
pork. Yum! Thanks mom!
May you be glad when your ducks
are in a row. May God comfort you when they
are not. May you grow, enjoy and love
those around you. Hugs,
Cristy
