Wow, It's June!

Where did this school year go? Missie is now officially a Junior! Unbelievable.
She did so well this year. She got the most 100's in the upper learning center, completed the most paces in the upper learning center, and got a medal for scripture. We are very proud of her work! Her courses for her Junior and Senior year are already laid out, and her Junior year is going to be very busy! She is not going to play volleyball this coming school year. Her hypermobility and her heavy school work load would make it just too much. So she is gonna concentrate on her studies and do her best.

Another big item of news is: MISSIE AND JAMES are now a couple again! They took a few months off, but they never stopped caring for each other. They are not going to get serious at least until her senior year. They are very happy! Missie is flying out to ID in July to go to his youth camp, and get to meet his family, etc. We are very happy for them! I never felt they were over. I knew God had brought them together, and Missie needed some time to grow up so more, and was stressed because she had so much on her plate. She is much more relaxed this time, at least during the summer, and they are much better at communication! She is also hoping to go to SC for 2 weeks later this month, to see her best friend, Kellie. Her mom and I have to work out the details, they have said they could probably meet me 1/2 way, and that would help so much! Missie is very excited because she has been asked to sing at a Nazarene Church on Sunday night in Indy! She and I are going over to our friends' home - Greg and Cathy Patterson, and go with them. Greg is doing a concert and has asked Missie to sing. She is nervous and excited at the same time! I'm going to take a video of part of the song so I can post it on facebook.

And yet another big event in Missie's life is that she is driving now! She got 100% on her test and is driving. She is very careful and is doing great. It doesn't seem possible my baby is driving! In less than a year, she will have her driver's license.

Preston is doing great! He has been able to ride his bike the last 3 days due to the cooler weather. It helps him so much to be able to do that. He went to psychiatrist and everything stays the same as far as his meds. I cut back on his sweet intake and he lost a few pounds. He loves those sweets! Eating is one of his joys in life and it is hard to say no to him. While Missie and I attend campmeetings, etc., Junior and Preston stay here and go to our own church. Preston doesn't like to travel much, and now that we have 2 vehicles, we can split up so Missie can attend special things.

Junior has applied for another job within his company. He would get $2/hr. raise and be in air conditioning! We are praying he will get the job if the Lord wills.
He has had $1.00/hr. raise lately, and we are so happy he has such a good job now! We are currently trying to pay off some bills that we want to clear out of the way, and only have our van payment. We want to get out of debt and when Missie graduates, try to buy a house. But right now, we are concentrating on getting her through school.

Well, I guess that is most of the news this time!
