going away to college...

A few weeks ago we were able to go over to Alabama for the day to visit with my husband's family, which included our nephew, Jake. He left last week to go to college in Montana to major in petroleum engineering. He received a full scholarship! We are very proud of him, and wish him the best of luck! I know his family, especially his 2 sisters, will miss him very much! We are looking forward to seeing him again at Christmas, and see how college life is treating him.
We had a great day visiting with everyone! Nathan had such a great time, he fell asleep before we got out of the driveway, and slept the entire 3 1/2 hour drive back home!
The following week, Brian's stepdad had a stroke and was admitted to Huntsville Hospital. He has since been moved to HealthSouth Rehab. He is getting better and we continue to pray for a complete recovery!
And in other news with that side of the family, our niece, Bethany, recently graduated from The University of Alabama with her nursing degree! She also just got engaged! We are very proud of her, and so very happy for her as well! We wish Bethany the best of luck with her new job at the hospital, and on planning her wedding!
