Summer Part 2

I guess I could have thought of a better title, but this one seems to work...

The reunion, as usual went very well... We certainly miss Uncle Clell and Uncle Bill, but we know they were with God and watching over us. Aunt Corsie was in our prayers as she wasn't able to make it this year due to her health (Bill Martin stayed close to her in Whitesburg)

It was awsome to see everyone else... The kids continue to grow up, the "Cousins" are still a team, and cotinue to "grow Up" as well. Congrats to Lisa & Richard on their engagement and to Sheila on the new addition to her family...

My cousins, aunts and uncles have ALWAYS been an important part of my life, and I certainly miss seeing them, and wish we had the opportunity to see each other more often...

The one thing that I do miss is Uncle Carroll's family. While he left us many years ago at the hands of a murderer with a grudge, he and his family are still in our prayers. Mostly, I miss Larry and Susan not being part of "The Cousins". They are still part of all of our lives, even if we don't see them anymore. God commands us to Forgive... There is nothing that should hold family apart, and its a shame that we have been "separated".
The other half of Uncle Carroll's family (his & his 2nd wife's children) are strangers to alot of us. But they are still family and are in our thoughts and prayers, even though we may never have even met!

Someday I hope we can all "Forgive" and reunite...


Well, Jennifer, Shelby and I along with Jake (and with Savana - Scott & Mindy's daughter) are planning a trip to Florida to meet up with Nick (and his fiance Rose) who is coming back to the United States on leave from the US Marines, where he is stationed in Iraq.
The cost of such a trip is OUTRAGIOUS! Disney want $350 - $1500 per NIGHT for on property hotel rooms...
We had no idea how we were going to afford this... Looks like God has helped AGAIN....
Will let you know how that turns out in Summer Part 3 (haha)
