Today is my oldest grandson, Andrew's, last day of college. His graduation walk will be in May but he is finished now with his Bachelor in Pastoral Ministries!!!! I am so proud of him. (He just called me!!!! I love talking to him! I love when he calls just to talk and tell me how he is doing!) I know today must be bittersweet for him. He loved college life and I am sure he will miss it. All the traveling he's done, singing in Choralons, friends he's made, things he's learned, experiences he's had, and all the growing up. It seems like yesterday he was telling me after church camp the Lord was leading him into the ministry. Andrew was faithful to God and listened and the Lord led him to where he is today! We are proud of him and we are praying for him!

Congratulations, grandson! Can't wait to see where God leads you next!
Yesterday was a rough day. I wasn't feeling well when I woke up and my stomach was so gurgly and I lost it a few times. So was Papa's. We thought maybe we were getting a bug. I went to the dollar store to top off our Christmas and that was a mistake. Not only was I not feeling well, it was raining and nasty, the place was crowded and I got the last cart, and my back hurt so much I was practically in tears. The good news was they had what I needed. And I guess it was worth the pain because I am done. However, I am so sick of being more and more limited because of my back. It seems to be getting worse. Oh well, how I was feeling pretty much ruined the rest of my day. Our plans were to pick up Lauren from school, go get her clothes at her house, go to dinner in Silverdale, go to Riley's concert, and take Lauren to her music lesson. Well, we got as far as getting Lauren and her clothes. Neither Papa or I were feeling very good. I had a splitting headache and sick stomach. We got Lauren some dinner to go and went home. We were in bed by 8:30. So far today I am rid of the headache but still gurgly. I'm sad we missed seeing Riley and her concert
Madi called last night to see if I wanted to go have lunch with her after school. That made me happy. Hopefully I will feel well enough to go even if I don't eat. I would like to see her and catch up with her. It seems like forever since we caught up on our lives. She's been so busy with drivers ed. She only has one drive left and she'll be done.
Riley just picked up her license last week. She is on the road. Lauren is getting a lot of driving time with Papa. Her drivers ed starts in January.
We had the most exciting news that I can share now! The Langager population is growing again!!! Libby will be a grandma for the 2nd time but it is my nephew Emerson who will be a daddy!!! It is so exciting! And the other one is my niece Jessica is having a baby boy... so David will be a grandpa for the first time. Me, Lauren, Jessica, Alyssa David and his ex (the girls mom) Annette all went to breakfast last Saturday. Annette told him he was going to be a grandpa. He said "What?" about 3 or 4 times. He was shocked but so happy after it sunk in. It is a shock when you find out your baby is having a baby.
We had some family birthdays this month! So happy birthday to my first great nephew Ryan who turned 32 and is our famous baseball player!
The second one is Riley my great, great niece who turned 5 years old!
My sister, Lois, had a birthday on the 7th of this month!
The next day was her daughter, Denise's birthday!!!
I guess my month hasn't been that busy. I still love my van. Still learning new things about it like how I can dim my speedometer and lights at night so it isn't so bright. Getting buttons figured out with their meaning etc. But it is an awesome van.
Hope you have a wonderful week! Next time I write I should have some Christmas pictures!!!!
