fall, high school, football, and memories

What do you remember about your high school years?

High school years are some of the most trying and challenging times, but there will be many wonderful memories too.  As I was putting this blog post together, the common thread that emerged and linked these events together was to embrace the journey at the different stages and cherish those special moments.

As parents, Bill and I are coming to a new chapter in our lives.  Hannah is our oldest and is a Junior in high school.  Her senior year  will be here before we know it.  We have watched our close friends’ kids grow up to be young men and women.  They have gone out into the world to pursue their dreams.  Right now we are at the stage of preparing and equipping Hannah along with our younger ones to do the same.
