The Pastor's College comes to an end!

So bittersweet!  So many memories, so many great friendships made, so much learned.  So much you want to hold onto, and yet so much you want to go home to.  Much of this I didn't feel right away.  It was a busy, busy push to the finish and we left the morning after graduation.  It may have been a little bit of a crash and burn, but man, it was a fun ride!

The End of the Year Dinner!

This just felt like a huge family celebration!  We were all together and we were having a great time!  All the wives had worked on a 30 minute parody act to honor our husbands and all the guys did the same.  Both turned out so great!  My friend Shari wrote all the songs and did a fabulous job!  

So for a little bit of a BIG sidenote... I announced that night to the class that we were expecting our 3rd child!  I am sure most of you know by now, since I am about 17 weeks.

Anyways, it was so fun to be together and so meaningful to honor those who are due much honor!

But in case you thought we made a fool of ourselves, check this out! The guys were hilarious!


I loved the time we had to honor the Purswells and the Ricuccis. To think how they have impacted our lives, and that they have that impact year in and year out on each class, they are truly amazing servants of the most high God!

And then it happened... Graduation! An amazing night to celebrate God, what He has done, what He is doing! It was so humbling to be a part of this group, to know that these men were being sent out to further the gospel and to build God's church!

All the guys


There's the hottest one of the bunch!  Wahoo!  Well done my love!


I love these two couples! Our lives have been forever changed because of their teaching and example!


Now to explain why most of these after celebratory pictures are of me and not Jason.  Well, I actually forgot my camera and just downloaded Hannah's onto my computer.  Thanks Hannah!  Well, as you can imagine, she took more pictures of me and the girls than Jason.  :)  I guess I couldn't have picked a bigger occasion to forget my camera!

But of course, first there is Hannah!  I love this picture and I love this girl!  She was one of my most special gifts this year!  I treasure her and her friendship and pray that she will be a friend I talk to for the rest of my life!  I can't wait to see where they end up! (shhhh, whisper, west coast, west coast, west coast... :) ! )







Ah!  My parents!  They are the best!  They made yet another trip out to MD and this time it was to bring us home!  Thank you!
