welcome to 2012

2011 was a blessed year for us, with many changes! We started the year with our 26 yr old, 2 Sudanese, and an Ethiopian living with us and ended with none. Wesley got married in March, our Sudanese sons moved to Troy University for college and our Ethiopian son moved to a neighboring city. A young family friend was found dead from a drug overdose and three days later our youngest son was in the F5 Tornado in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, but he ended the semester accepted into the UA ATEP Program for the fall. Spencer was home for four months due to the tornado damage and school schedules, which made his departure back to school even harder. August brought an empty and filthy house. We began a marathon painting season and have completed all but the kitchen. Rick started a new job and loves it. If any of my readers need anything printed or any promotional items, please let us know, we would love to serve you. Thanksgiving was spent at Orange beach with our children - what fun memories. Christmas and the Holidays brought the kids home from school and the flu! Thank you Jesus for a wonderful 2011. Welcome 2012!
