May 2009


Hi All,


I got a call from my good friend Carolyn who reminded me to update my blog. Sorry it has been so long... but sometimes I think... nothing that exciting is going on. I am very excited though to be finishing up my 1st semester of Nursing School. It has been a rough ride, but we have made it through.


Finals are this upcoming week (Tuesday, May 5th 8AM-10:30 AM) for you prayer warriors out there. The jury is still out but if I make at least an 81% on the final I will get an A in all of the classes. It would be a nice boost for the GPA!

On the home front, Mom and Dad are in TN this week visiting Ethan, Sharon, and the kids (I'm jealous) and headed to NC to take care of sweet pea (aka Mollie) while Pam heads back to work full time. In two weeks Mike will graduate with his Associates Degree in Fish and Wildlife Management. Go Mike! At last check he had made straight A's all the way through the program. He is tough competition let me tell ya.

On a somber note our cousin Carolyn's husband (Kevin) has been diagnosed with Stage III Lung Cancer, which is a total shock since the man is not, and never has been, a smoker. They have two young daughters (Amanda and Katelyn). At this point it looks as though he is headed for Chemo/Radiation in an effort to shrink the tumor prior to surgery. Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Just another reminder that we are not in control... but we know the ONE who is. Please pray that Kevin, Carolyn, and the kids would feel the presence of God in a strong way as they face the road that lies ahead.

God Bless!

Holly
