  • THE KENDALL WHIRLWIND ...

     

    Just one more day and I'm headed to South Carolina. I'll be speaking at a Ladies Retreat in Myrtle Beach for a group of about 75 ladies that have become very precious to my heart. This is the congregation that Courtney attends ... the congregation who embraced us so completely and lovingly when Dustin died. I will be speaking on being 'Divinely Dressed' ... Colossians 3:17ff. I'm excited to have this time with them .. and a few extra days to love on Court and my sweet grandbabies.

    Tomorrow will be a whirlwind before I head out. I'll teach ladies class tomorrow morning, grab a bite to eat, get Kayli through her school work and then we head to Ft. Worth for her theatre class. Then a fast trip back just in time to get to church and then home for last minute preparations before leaving. phew!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Kayli is loving her new acting class at the Casa Manana Theatre. She's in her element without a doubt. She's also got lots of things going on for LTC this year ... drama, chorus, sign language, photography, service, teaching ... and she's even working on a children's book. She is the favorite among most of the little ones (and their moms) at church so she has also become a very busy babysitter.

    Brandi has started school again ... he's working on a new Master's Program in Spritiual Renewal. He has always loved being a student. He's also busy heading up our new LIFE group program at church and doing all the other things that an involvement minister does. He continues to teach ... and preach, occasionally. We all do miss his preaching.

    Jared is back at school full-time as well. He's working on his degree in Deaf Interpretation ...and will be working at the rehab center on weekends. He's also a great help around the house. He's going to make a wonderful husband some day ... if I can just let him go. =0)

    I'm also busy about many things ... speaking at this ladies retreat has been a big project on my plate but I'm really looking forward to it. I'm teaching ladies class on Wednesday mornings, coaching the photography project for LTC, coordinating a portion of the new pictorial directory ... and am the new 'historian' for our quilt guild. This basically means I get to take the pictures =0).

    I am honored to have been invited to be an official photographer for the OPLove: Reunited program (a charitable foundation that offers photography to families of deployed soldiers). I have got several learning opportunities ahead, as well. I'll be attending some photography schools this month, as well as, in March and in May. And ... I'm very excited to be working on my accredidation to the 'Special Needs Kids' Photography Assocation. Can't wait to be a part of that.

    So ... that's what we're up to at our house. Wow ... kind of makes me tired just writing about it all! We've been blessed with so many opportunities to make a difference ... and we're very grateful.

    Have a great week ... will check in when I get back from South Carolina.
