I have babysat Alex since he was in the 5th grade! He is a little brother/child to me! He is a senior this year and is an AWESOME baseball player! John Thomas and I have been to majority of his games this season. John Thomas made the comment the other night about how excited we are for him and support him and imagine how we will be when it is actually our own child.
Tonight is Game One in the State Champion Series and he is pitching! He will be off to Coastal in the fall on a baseball scholarship!
Good luck AC, I love you very much!
Reed graduated high school last year. He is dating a very sweet girl named Jessica who is still in school. This is one of my favorites of them before prom this year.
Love them!
I had one consistant bad week a few weeks ago. I had not one of those ALL year, so I am pretty glad it was just one week of it! I went that Friday afternoon to pick up a devotional at Christian Supply, turst me...I needed it (or some serious medication...kidding). It is Blessings by Laura Story (she is known for the song). This was the first page. Boy, did I ever need it! So I took a picture and posted it to my Facebook. A week later, a friend I haven't talked to in forever texted me and said the scripture meant so much to them that they had saved it on their phone and looked at it several times during the week. Wow God! :)
Reed has bought a boat and already had a jet ski from last year which equals many days on the lake this summer! This is when we went out for Mother's Day. It started out a cool and cloudy day (hint the jacket) and ended with us in the water skiing!
Wally was very sweet to his momma for Mother's Day! Please notice the handwriting on the envelope and card :)
This is, by far, the biggest thing going on in the Gillespie house! We have our house for sale. We are painting (I didn't realize how blue this was until it was on the walls..oh well, someone will paint it when they buy) and cleaning out. Who knew we could gather so much junk in two years? Anyways, the moving topic is VERY bittersweet for us. This is our first home together. Some days I am thrilled about moving and other days I want to cry. I LOVE our mill house! It holds many many many special memories together for us!
love-
