This weekend James came home. He came to watch his brother in the high school musical. He brought his new girlfriend. I have met her twice in the past, but didn’t spend very much time with her.
They were around all weekend, but I am left feeling like I didn’t get enough time…
His friend Alex also came home with his girlfriend. The guys are roommates & the girls are roommates… funny!
So, they were back and forth between our two houses. There more than here. Friday night when they came, Jadon & I went over there for awhile and spent some time. Saturday James & Brooke were here for while during the day.
Then we all went for dinner at Alex’s family’s home. Then to the musical. Then they came to church today. They were here this afternoon for awhile before they left at about 4:30.
We discovered that her mom went to school at Nor*well… she grew up in Craig*ville. (all just a county over from us)… her mom was good friends in hs with my neighbor, Julie! Her grandpa went to our church when he was growing up. Her great-great aunt still goes to our church (BN) How weird!
They go away to college and meet people that make the world seem so small!!
Brookelyn is a very sweet, quiet, nice girl… I have no issues with her at all… except I didn’t get enough time with them this weekend!!
It was wonderful to have my oldest home this weekend… Jadon loved being with them and began asking as soon as they left when we would get to see them again.
I am peaceful about where James is in his life… I just miss him.

I think this part of my kids' future will be difficult for me to deal with because of the letting go aspect of it. I think you are doing great and I can learn from you. It sure looks like James found a sweet girl.
I love your new blog look and the font you went with.
Blessings to you my friend,
Carol
It is hard, you finally get them on solid ground, in a place you can enjoy with them, and they're gone! :)
Hang in there.
Yes, it's hard. But, you are doing well. You are letting him grow up. This is good.
We always encouraged our kids to ... follow their passions ... follow their dreams ... follow the Lord's leading, and go where He calls them to go. Oh. So. Hard when the Lord leads them not only across the country, but across the world. 5 of our 6 young adult children have travelled the world (the shortest amount of time 6 months ... the longest, 3 years). We haven't seen 1 of our girls in nearly a year and a half, as she ministers in Argentina. So. Hard.
Keep loving him. Keep showing him how happy you all are when he does come home. And, keep praying for him.
You are doing a great job with your kids, Pam. You are!
Laurel :)
