News From November

 For her project management class, Cambry decided to visit McPherson College, which has a very good graphic design/art department. We enjoyed a campus tour and visiting with the art department chairs. It was a good experience for Cambry and gave her lots to think about as she begins to think about her future after high school!

4H Achievement Banquet - Cambry received a sweatshirt for earning grand champion in photography, and a wooden clover-shaped cutting board for her reserve grand champion effort!
November 2 was our 20th anniversary - twenty years together! Chelan and I celebrated by watching a K-State football game together in Manhattan. Unfortunately, they lost to Texas, but as I write this, K-State has just won the Big XII Championship game against TCU (Go Cats!) Anyway, being in Bill Snyder Family Stadium is always a good day, even when they lose. Afterwards, we also got to see Caiden for just a little bit after the game as he worked to begin clean-up.  We don't really make a big deal out of anniversaries and such, but getting away together for an evening to celebrate was fun!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Merry Christmas!

                                          Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord! We enjoyed a very relaxing (and strangely warm) Christmas!  The church Christmas Eve program was back in-person (although the kids had recorded their parts early), and we were back at my parents' house afterwards - much different than last year when we met via Zoom.  The only strange thing this year was the weather - mid-70s on Christmas Eve and just slightly cooler on Christmas Day.  We actually ate our lunch outside on Christmas Eve!  We waited until the 28th to celebrate with Chelan's side of the family - minus the CA crew.  Christmas Eve lunch on the deck! gift cards are hard to get to when they are trap...
