BYE-BYE NICK-NICK


We took Nicholas to Charleston this past weekend to get moved in to his apartment and get ready to start college. It was a wonderful weekend, but very sad. We left Saturday morning around 11am and off we went, when we got to Columbia we realized we forgot something. Nicholas' mattress. We continued on our way and said we would figure out what to do when we got to Charleston. We had to met the cable man at 2:00pm so we could not turn around. Nicholas called his best friend Nick and he brought the mattress to us. Thanks so much Nick! Barbee Ruth and Rickey came home Sunday evening and I came home this evening. Nobody told us how hard it was going to be letting them go.
Please pray for Nicholas as he begins the next chapter in his life. We are blessed to have him in our life and are very proud of the young man he has become.

I was telling someone tonight that when Joshua was smaller and I was checking off each day of school I would say "Man, we STILL have 150 days left...will we ever finish this year?". Now that he's older, I find myself saying things like "Man, we ONLY have 150 days left...where has the time gone!" They grow up TOO fast. I can only imagine how hard it is to let them go...but we have to, don't we. Praying for ya'll! Lynne (not Jeff)
