Sorority Party - Part 2

Ben. The dancing machine. For real.

Once again. New phone. Did not know they would turn out sideways. Sorry for future videos.

Sorry my videos are sideways

Justin gets into baseball. Who knew he was such a fan?

THE LAST POST... well... sort of

Well folks.

Here we are.

It's April.

School is almost out.

Summer is fast approaching.

The days are getting warmer, the sun is shining longer, and the trees are shedding this yellow dust that makes me run for the safety of the indoors.

It is a very bittersweet last few days here. Joel and I are currently watching 24 while Justin is playing on the computer and Ben is chatting with his family back home.

The conversations have moved from Clemson sports and special events to summer plans and beach trips. Everyone is moving back home this weekend. Some earlier than later. But I do feel that we all have grown tremendously over the past year.

I'm gonna miss these guys. I've tried to think of some imparting wisdom or knowledge to leave these guys, but truly they have a better grasp on living life than I do. They are kind to everyone and never judge. They say "please" and "thank you" more in a day than I say in a week. They love their family and say so often.

I pray simply that they would all live life and love others. But... they already do that so well. Thank you families for your support. I have enjoyed this opportunity and count it as a blessing to live with these three. Please keep in touch as I plan to as well.

Here are a few pictures of our wonderful graduation ceremony and hopefully a few other videos and pictures to follow...

SORRY!

So I have disappeared for a while. No... we did not all drop out of school. We are still here. We made it through the winter. We did not run out of milk and bread. Things were just... well... busy.

I am finishing up my student teaching and have had an absolute blast doing it. My students are amazing and I am actually getting a little sad knowing I have only two weeks left with them. I need to figure out something special to do with them before we finish up.

And I guess you all know this but... things are winding down here as well. But here are some highlights to make up for my three month absence.

Winter- It was great. We had snow a few times. The cold kept us indoors mostly which made us all a little stir crazy. But the guys went to a play or two, cooked a few good meals with some volunteers, danced all night at dance marathon, and had a few movie nights.

Spring- Well... besides the consistent dusting of pollen over everything, spring has been great to us so far.

• We went to a baseball game last week (amazing). The Clemson Tigers beat the Georgia Bulldogs 14 - 6. Take that Reeves family. Your son has severed his ties. Clemson for life.
• We have had a few family visits which have been much needed.
• My beloved Duke Blue Devils won the National Championship so I will continue the gloating for a full year.
• There is talk of having a "function" with a sorority on campus. Not sure which one or if that was just a rumor... but sounds exciting. I had heard a beach theme.
• We are having a graduation ceremony at the end of the week for a few of the students including our very own Joel Reeves.
• Justin has started taking yoga again for fun on Monday nights.
• The guys will be helping out at the Special Olympics next Friday (April 23rd).
• Then we move out after that.

Wow. A busy two weeks. We may try to add a baseball game or two in there somewhere. The days are so nice it is a shame not to be outside. I'll try to post a few pictures and videos in the next two weeks for the few people who still check out the website. Sorry I have not been a faithful blogger.

Well... thanks for sticking with us here. Two more weeks to go.
