Homecoming

Homecoming was a victory this year! The boys had dates and had fun exchanging mums and garters and they both played a great game of football! 

Cross Country

Troy and Teague have really enjoyed cross country this year. Their new coach made the season so much fun! They improved on their times every week and did well at all the meets. Troy ended up 10th in district and is moving on to regionals! 

Teague was the top 8th grade runner this year! 

Teague ended up first in district!! He even carried a golf ball the whole race because he said it was lucky. 

First day of school

The first week of school has been a blast! New students but the same old great team in 3rd grade! 

The boys enjoyed their first day back! 

Sophomores

Camp BASS

Troy was 1 of 34 who were selected to participate in Camp BASS this year. They said over 900 applications came in, so I’m so thankful he was given this opportunity. Childhood friends, Austin and Michelle, also had a son attending so it was good to see them there and for Troy to at least know the name of one other person attending. 

Troy said he had a great week! He fished every morning from sun up until lunch and then went on field trips in the afternoon when it was too hot to fish. 

They visited rod building places and lures making places and fisheries and more. Each place was so generous to give them free stuff or discounted rates. Troy really stocked up on new gear. 

On Friday, they had a banquet that families could attend and gave out awards. Troy won the Best knot tying award and it came with a new rod! I’m so impressed with the whole process and look forward to see if he’s accepted again next year! 

After Troy came home, he was excited to go show Papa all his new gear and tell him all about the week.

Girls beach trip

The weekend was spent at Jamaica Beach with a very special group of girls. The One Year Bible group decided to take a beach trip centered around our faith. In the end 12 women committed to the weekend and it was amazing. 

Friday night night was spent making unleavened bread together and sharing a meal with communion. This was one of my most memorable communions that I have ever experienced. 

Saturday we enjoyed the beach and talking and reading and relaxing. Then, we got ready for dinner in our matching shirts and headed to the sea wall for great food and souvenir shopping. 

Sunday was a slow morning with great conversation over coffee and breakfast before we loaded up and headed home. It’s amazing what one weekend away with the only focus being Jesus can do for your soul!
