This semester Troy started in his new major, Natural Resources Management. He seems to really like his classes and even has a class with Derrick. He also started a job a J Crew that he is really enjoying, and his Nissan finally bit the dust so he got a new Compass. He’s been home once for about 12 hours to get the new vehicle, but other than that he has been busy living that college life!

Texas Tech for Teague
Teague applied to Texas Tech the moment it opened on August 1st. He wrote a great essay and had strong recommendation letters so I’m hoping he gets in!
Teague finally heard back after a month. He’s going to be a Red Raider!

Koby’s new career
Koby has jumped into teaching and coaching this year at Riesel. We have been able to attend a few games now and it seems like he has found such a sweet community that supports him and a great group of coaches to learn from. I think he’s learning that teaching and coaching is a lot of time, but it is also so rewarding! It’s been fun watching him grow in this next season of life.

Labor Day at the beach
Justin and Heather bought a new house, so we decided to head to the beach over Labor Day to see them and their new home for the long weekend. The weather was a little rainy at first, but cleared up for a great weekend! We enjoyed seeing their beautiful home and loved their pool and hot tub. Then we spent one day at the beach and in our rental home that was nice also. It was a very relaxing weekend!

Last first day of school
Teague’s last first day and he chose to start the year in a Texas Tech shirt. He has a great schedule with a lot of his friends and I think he’s going to have a great year! He already taken his senior year book photos so I think it’s really becoming real to him.
I started year 14, year 6 at Axtell, and my 3rd year in dyslexia. I still love this position and the people I work with. I’m exciting for a great year!

Troy’s move-in Year 2
This year Troy will be living in an apartment with Jace and Lukas. We went up there and got him all set to start the year. We were able to meet his roommate’s parents and go out to dinner with them and had the best time. They are great people and very much like us so that is good to know. It seems like they are going to have a great year with good friends and a new major. Guns up for sophomores year!
