Off to camp!

My teenager, Dylan, is off to middle school church camp tonight.

We are going to miss him! Riley, his little brother, doesn't think so but I know in a few days he will feel a little differently. ;)

They are going to a camp put on by Student Life at a beach about 10 hours away. Alot of middle school and high school students from across the country will be at this camp. I've been praying for a safe trip! Will you take a moment and say one too if you feel led? Thanks!
I'm also praying that the leaders and kids have a very blessed time of worship, time in The Word and fellowship/fun! God Bless our Student Ministry! They are AWESOME!!!

I cannot get over how fast Dylan is growing up. His voice is changing. He's getting a little taller. He's sleeping later...never has done that! Of course, he is trying to stay up later too!

He really makes me proud! He is a sensitive soul. He loves photography. He enjoys Nascar, baseball, computer games, reading, texting (of course!) and his favorite foods. He has had straight A's except for math but that has been a very solid middle B. He's been taking Pre-AP match since entering middle school and he's trying really hard - so I can't complain. He is getting tutored in Algebra so when school starts in the fall he'll have a good foundation to keep going with! He also plays the trumpet! He's working really hard this summer on his music and even though he made 2nd chair of Concert band he's hoping to prove worthy of moving up, if the opportunity presents itself, to the Symphonic Band.

He also volunteers at church helping with AV stuff for the student services on Saturday nights! He loves the Lord and really likes church. We feel blessed beyond words!

REALITY CHECK: Ron and I were talking about the fact that we'll probably save his truck (paid for!!!) for Dylan...umm...he'll be driving in 2 years. HOLY MOLY!!!

Anyway...thanks for listening...just taking a moment to reflect on the man/person Dylan is becoming while wishing him well at camp!

We love you, Dylan! Have an AMAZING time!
