Briana is home, safe and sound.

Friday was a very hectic day. Andrea and Krista wanted to go to the last day of tennis camp. So I planned out all the details. Well....Briana called at 8 am and said she was in Atlanta, but her flight was cancelled. She didn't know when she would get in, it could be as late as 2 pm. So I went to tennis camp with the girls and hung out waiting. She finally called, her flight would be in at 12. We left at 11 and made it to the airport at 12:15, her flight was listed as arriving at 12:23. Finally she was home, Hallelujah!!! We have had a wonderful time since then. We spent some time with the Tyson side of the family on Saturday. We went shopping today. I have finished washing all of Briana's clothes. She is very tired I can tell. She has been doing alot of sleeping.

I am thankful for God's protection of my daughter.

Summer Fun 2008

Looking Back at a great year.

I am sitting in a cafe across from Flagler College in St. Augustine, Fl. Andrea and Krista are at tennis camp. I have posted about that before, but that has been a wonderful experience. Briana has finished her course in Argentina. She is saying her goodbyes and will leave Buenos Aires this evening. It was so difficult for me that she was so far away and communication was not always the best. I am sure I will not know my daughter. She will have matured in many ways. I am glad she has had this experience but I am more excited that she is finally coming home.



Andrea has also matured. Her tennis game has reached new heights. She is playing so incredibly. She, mentally, has grown so much in her game. She is going to be unbeatable on the courts this year. She will also begin her dual enrollment courses next month.



Joanna finished school with great grades. She did much better staying on pace and finishing the course. We are proud of her, we think she will be our computer guru. This will be an assest to us I am sure. Joanna's tennis and fitness are improving by leaps and bounds this summer.



Krista entered the youth group this summer. She went to her first youth camp. Actually, she went with Joanna to her first. They have not been since junior camp when I went with them. This was their first time without me. She is also improving in tennis this summer.



As the kids have been busy and going many places, I am beginning to wonder if I will like retirement. Jimmy is very boring. This, I am sure, will make me very bored when I am not as consumed with the girls. I guess it is a good thing I have taken up quilting although I may need to get a job to support it.



Life moves on and things change but the security I find in Jesus Christ and my family stay the same. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. The dynamics of our family change but the fact that we are close and enjoy each others company doesn't. The times we spend together may not be as frequent, but still we have each other.

Please take time to view the slideshow I have posted.



Have a blessed summer
