Dear Family,
It’s time to celebrate! Happy Birthday to Seth who is 16, Happy
Anniversary to Bobby and I. We are 23
years married. Happy Graduation to
Adriel. Woo Hoooo!!! How wonderful to hear their deep voices, see them
so grown-up and to experience their maturity.
Seth thanked me for waking him up on Sunday. What a great guy!
Pastor Marcus looked over at
Seth during announcements and mentioned he is 16 that day. The clapping was fun. Seth did turn a bit red but he smiled when I
asked later how he felt about the announcement.
My friend Heidi Kravitz had to
tell me a story about Seth. Heidi was
walking towards Seth when she saw her young daughter behind him. Heidi said, “Hey Baby, How’s it going?” Seth said “Fine” deadpan. Heidi was wondering if Seth was joking. Then he noticed her child and said, “Oh.” My friend said she will forever call Seth her
Baby.
Seth approached me several times
to say his verses this week. This warms
my heart! By Friday he recited
Colossians 2:6-21 all the way! Yay Seth.
Bobby brought home one doughnut
that had been sitting in the hot car for a while. I tried to eat it but the frosting mostly
came off so I left the naked item in the doughnut box. Seth came over with, “So there is no frosting
on it?” He seemed willing to eat
anything in a doughnut box. Then he saw
and said, “It’s not even a doughnut any more.
It is just a sad bagel.” He left
it.
Bobby and I had a wonderful
week. We walked and made new friends. We spent most of the day together Memorial
day and Saturday and it was great. I cannot
express how wonderful it is that Bobby and I get along. These are not empty words. Becoming one took a long time and included
hard years. God is the reason for the
longevity of our marriage. Yay God!
Bobby made some amazing dishes
this week. One focused on Seth for his
Birthday. Bobby knows how to make a day
special! Bobby also got up at 1:55 AM
Sunday to listen to someone’s verses.
That is dedication!
Adriel spent Memorial day
cleaning her room. She brought four
boxes to a thrift store. Good for
her! She is getting ready for college
life. Adriel received a scholarship and
grant to Chemeketa. She does want to
graduate from WOU eventually. For now,
she is excited about being paid to go to college. Why rack up debt now? I think she is smart. We are so proud of her.
I enjoyed attending the Senior
Awards night. Adriel won several
academic awards. My favorite part was
when she decided to skip the socializing and went out with me to Lime Berry,
just us. It was nice to spend some time
with her alone.
I am so blessed that our Mexico
team was willing to do my dirty work.
They did a great job weeding the entire yard. Such hard work!
For those who sent cards, texts
and gave congratulations in person.
Thank you! How fun and exciting
to celebrate true accomplishments. Much
Love,
Cristy
