With Grateful Hearts

With grateful hearts for family and friends, for those near to us and those who are near in our hearts. For hope and joy, and sorrow and struggles. For laughter and tears, and the songs that He gives along the way. But most of all for Jesus...the Author and Finisher of our faith. It is with grateful hearts that we share with you here.

Last Day at VZW



We couldn't be more proud. Mitchell has worked long and hard to save up for his dream school...and in two weeks, he will begin classes there as a junior, having done his first two years locally. He has worked hard and saved hard. He was the youngest sales rep ever hired by VZW, yet he earned some of the company's top awards, continually being the top rep in his district.  He and his Dad both earned winners circle status this year...so that was special, to do it together.



Well, yesterday was his last day, and we were all a bit sad. His dad has enjoyed the blessing of having his son work for his same company. They've been able to share their experiences and at times even work in the same places. So, it's been good... One of those experiences that at the on-set, you wonder how it's gonna go. I remember dropping him off for 6 week training and crying as we drove away from the hotel. But it has been good. Real good.



His job was a real blessing and we're all so grateful. It gave him the tools to build a bridge to the school he never really thought he'd get to attend.

 He enjoyed the job and enjoyed his co-workers. His co-workers apparently enjoyed him too because they threw him a big going-away party. One of his co-workers told him that people come and go all the time, but she'd never seen them throw anyone a party...that speaks volumes of our Mitchell.


And they left him a thoughtful gift on his car for his last day.


Apparently child labor was used in this crime.


 He says he has enough post-it notes to last the next two years.


The professional pose.....


The non-professional pose...


We sure do love you Mitchell.
