I cannot even believe my baby is 17 today!!! Fresh off of a week of church camp and a morning of slight school, he arrived home eager to celebrate his birthday at Texas Roadhouse . . . and to take a shower. LOL He had a fabulous week worshiping and enjoying time outside, unplugged, with his friends. So thankful for our church who pour into the students in such a meaningful way each summer!
This kid continues to amaze me. He survived a hard year with managing a LOT of different activities and a rigorous load at school too. He's learned so many coping strategies; what would once have sent him over the edge, he can now manage quite well. BUT, we learned a lot and have adjusted things so that he can focus on what is most important to him this coming year.
He is passionate about flying and will hopefully have his private pilot's license within the year. He is a rule follower, and is quickly becoming my go-to for things that need to be fixed (thanks to his buddy "chatty"). His car is probably his favorite item, and he is always looking for ways to improve it and keeps it quite clean. He has a few close friends and likes to keep his circle small. He loves track, working out (don't dare mess with his gym schedule), and eating healthyish. He enjoys soccer too, but he realized this year that maybe he's not quite as passionate as he used to be about playing. This kid has a heart of gold, and it is an absolute joy having a front seat to his life! I can't wait to see what the next year holds for him . . . hopefully less injuries and stress!
