Update

So there have been many things that have gone on this summer. Belle, as usual went to summer camp at Singleton Commnity Center, but the biggest high-light for her was one of her birthday presents from Pawpaw and CJ. She was abel to go to summer camp at Lakeshore Methodist Assembly in Camden, TN. Ben and I had been there many times as kids and Belle would benefit greatly from this trip. She had a blast. As it was her first sleep over camp and was gone for a week, I expected a very traumatized child when I picked her up. She was the total opposite. She had tales of fun and glory and love and smiles. She made some great friends, as well as strengthened the friendships that she had with a few of the kids from our church that were in her cabin, which totally hilarious, both Ben and I stayed in at different times in our childhood.

She made friends with lots of the other campers as well as the councelors and it took us about half an hour to get her out of there with all of the goodbyes. She talked for the entire first hour of the ride home and then passed out on the rest of the way. She had so much fun and asked if she could go back again next year. Great Job PawPaw and CJ... Wonderful Gift!!!

Another change in our lives is that Belle is now attending private school. She goes to FACS now and is doing great. She has made some good friends and had some great teachers. She is also cheerleading for the 5th and 6th Grade Football teams. I will post some of those pictures as soon as I can. She had thier Jamboree the other day and boy was it hot, but that didn't stop my girl from cheering those boys on. She knew not only what was going on with her duties as a cheerleader but she was very aware of what was happening in the field and cheered her little heart out when FACS scored thier first touchdown and beat SBEC 8-0. GO CRUSADERS GO!!!

I am about to start my Senior Year at the University of Memphis. I am excited and a little aprehensive about what the future holds, but am very ready to be the holder of that special degree.

I can't thank my family enough for the support and love that they give Belle and I on a daily basis. I thank God every day for those that he has put in my life. I love my family stronger than anything in the world.
