Senior Pictures

Do you know what I did today? I took Kristin to get her senior pictures taken! I can't believe it....where did time go? We had quite a trek...all the way to Va. Beach. The photographers were young and fun and made the experience memorable. Kris saw Gary, from her class. Eman was coming at 1:00 but we got done early and didn't stay. We saw pictures on the wall of Becky Prillaman and Steven Legg with Nikki.

Anyhow, the MOMENT came when they took a picture of Kris lying on her stomach and resting her arms and head on a basketball in front of her. When they had me look at the picture aftewards...I almost lost it! There is a picture (I will post it) of Kris when she was a baby...lying on her stomach...with a basketball in front of her!! I had a flashback of that picture and it was almost too much!

The poses were GREAT! I will post them when we get them online in a few weeks. Afterwards, we went to FIVE GUYS on Independence Blvd to eat lunch. We drove thru Viginian Weslyan and looked around. The traffic on I 64 was terrible so we went the long way to I 664...but it was a fun time together. I was sorry Steve and Kris didn't get to come but we noticed Korie seemed to have UTI this morning so Steve took her to the doctor. (We were right).

So, the day has come...Kristin is a senior and I am going to have to find a way to deal with it. I am going to try to enjoy every little thing she does this year. So...senior year....here we come!!

Missing Friends

This past weekend I attended a viewing. That was sad enough. But the people I went for --live out of town now. I was close to them when they lived here and I just don't see them often enough. It was hard to leave them because there is no plan on when I will see them next. There are a lot of people in my life like that!! It kind of stinks....not that they are in my life...but that they aren't in my life regularly! Lila, Dennis, Holly and Evan are the ones I was thinking of as I write this....I just miss being around them.

That lead me to think of others....the most recent who moved away and that I miss would be Lisa Fowler. When she was here, she lived in Williamsburg so I only saw her at church functions but I miss her a lot. Blair Livesay was another like that. I miss Mary Beth Norcross, too. We always got bagels on Tuesdays and talked about politics, current events..and how different we were from each other! She was so much fun.

I don't see my family much either but at least there is always a "next time". I think that is why heaven is going to be FOREVER and EVER....I have some silly thoughts on that...besides spending time with Jesus and and worshipping Him, which is the best thing we will do, we have so many people to spend time with...and we will have the time to spend QUALITY time with them....as long as we want. The other silly thought I had was about singing in heaven...I imagined that all the worship/song leaders will want to lead...at least one time...so by the time they all take a good long turn...a thousand years may have gone by...then maybe everyone will want to sing a solo to the Lord...although I perfer a good group blend! There will be so much to do...but I will get to spend time with the Chappells!! That day will come.

So, those are my random thoughts for today.....
