Drawing to a Close

It is very hard to believe, but things are starting to wind down here in C-town. We had a wonderful time of fellowship on Sunday with our family at Memorial. They are so loving and care so much for us. We are so thankful to them for their support and encouragement. On our last Sunday with them, they gave us a very unexpected gift that included a goodbye video. We all stayed around after the fellowship to watch the video as members said their sweet goodbyes to us and laughed and cried together as we remembered the last four years. We will still attend tonight and next Wednesday to finish up our study of the book, "The Case For Faith". We will miss our church family! This Sunday, we're planning to attend church at the church of our college friends.

School is drawing to a close quicker than we expected. We'll be out on band trips Thursday,Friday and Saturday. Then, after a quick trip to Dallas to spend Memorial Day Weekend with family, we'll take our little convertible to the Carmax to sell it. We are hoping to get what it's worth. We've loved having it, but it's time to downsize. With Patrick being in training for nine months, there's no need to have two cars. Anyone in the market for a 1994 Miata?

Next week will be a blur, I'm sure. No school Monday. Then Tuesday through Thursday are skeletal at best because of exams. Friday's a shortened day with a graduation rehearsal, with graduation on Saturday. Then, after a time of fellowship with our CSO friends on Saturday, we hope to visit our dear friends Julie and Darin in Frankston on Sunday.

As if that's not enough to think about, we'll be doing even more in the following three weeks. Three days of in-service will be followed by a long awaited trip to Oklahoma to visit family. Then, it's packing, packing, and more packing. We'll move on a Friday, have a gargage sale on a Saturday, then rest for a day. Next, we're off to Austin for a few days of relaxation before the big send-off. In case you didn't know, Patrick will be "shipping-out" on Tuesday, June 24th. I hope to go to MEPS to send him off and take pics. We'll keep you posted!
