5 Stringer Beads, Food and Friendships.

Sidney is doing very well in her welding class.  She was the third person out of 27 to get qualified on her 5 stringer bead welds.  She was very proud of that, and it also gave her an extra week to move on to the next welds.  She thinks I should keep each of these 'coupons' so 'we' can look back to see her improvement.  I am not sure I am that good of a mom.

Sidney and her friends have found a great coffee shop that they enjoy frequenting.  Take note of the beautiful bible on the left that she had asked for her birthday.

Hanging with her friends.

Hanging with those same friends.  They are literally probably the only people getting dumped on and smiling during the crazy rain storm.

Her friend Kennedy left for a stint at YWAM Kona.  Kennedy will be gone for 6-9 months, I believe.  They snuck in lots of visits before she left.

I would hope she would miss me this much if I was leaving for 6-9 months.  Oh I am just kidding...maybe?!

We have been taking the dogs to camp once or twice a week, as they LOVE it.  They come home completely and totally exhausted every time.

A little Willow time.
