Dear Family,

 

The beginning of a new school year can bring excitement, dread, or both.  I seriously hated college.  God brought me thru, Bobby helped and without my parents' funding, I wouldn’t have done it at all.  After I graduated I asked my parents, “How can I ever repay you?”  They replied, “Pay for your kids' college” and that was that.  Oh boy! 

Adriel and Seth are both attending community college now.  It’s not fun.  I am proud they are continuing.  I am blessed by scholarships, hard work, and love.  Even thru crazy COVID, they are pressing on.

Seth has decided to use the law guidelines for structuring his day.  Every two hours a 10-minute break with lunch in his 8 hour school day.  Syllabus shock was a bit overwhelming.  After we figured out making a list and self-scheduling, he is willing to plug away.  Yay!  Adriel figured it out on her own the last couple of years and I remember having to do that as well.  The non-structure is quite horrid.  Good thing we can self-structure.

Bobby visited his mom and sister.  I love that he is showing our kids how to be good to us. 

            Youth group remains wholesome, fun, and rich in learning about God.  The kids are entertaining to interact with.

            Bobby made several amazing dinners this week.  He continually enjoys planning and making food.  Yay!  I enjoyed making caramel corn.  Food can bring such joy – even the smell of it.  God knew what he was doing when he gave us taste buds.

            May you also enjoy the smells and food of fall.  May your anticipation of the crisp air, rustle of leaves and sweaters bring a smile to your face. 

            Much Love, Cristy
