EAGLE SCOUT

That is right you read that right, after a long struggle with Nate being "too old" to get his eagle, he finally got it. He had his Board of Review tonight and passed with flying colors. I am so proud of him and know that one day he will be so glad he finished it. He had all done but the project and some paperwork when we moved here and he took baby items to the Alley House in Dallas which is a home for teenage pregnant girls. They were so grateful and said they had never received so much stuff in one donation. I was proud of him and so glad he saw it through to the end. He really is an amazing young man and one that his parents and his Heavenly Father can be so proud of. He will be a great missionary in a year from February and that will come all too soon. Michael is doing well on his mission and was made a Trainer and seems to be enjoying it a lot. He said he has a very obedient companion, which makes it really easy for him. Bob reminded him to have fun and he seems to be doing that as well. He is able to golf on p-days and has been doing that with investigators as well, so always the missionary. All my kids are great. Ashlee has been sick but is doing better finally. Our air conditioner went out in our upstairs, more missionary blessings. I just remind myself that means Michael is very much needed right where he is........and our "blessings" will come-----eventually :) Good job Nathan---we are so proud.
