Go War Hawks!

Well, there's a hint of celebration in the air around here tonight...

Taylor made the calls tonight, politely declining the offers from other schools, and then accepting his offer to play football at.................. McMurry Unversity in Abilene, Texas.

GO WAR HAWKS!!!

So, right now, the babies are tucked in bed, I'm getting some laundry done, Emily is at rehearsals for Little Women, Bailey is chilling out on the couch, and then.... there's giggling and snickering from the living room... sounds like 2 little boys... but wait, what's that?! It's not 2 little boys. It's Troy and Taylor playing Wii Olympics. 2 grown men. Teasing and talking smack. Laughing their heads off. I won't lie - I will miss these sounds when Tay leaves, but for tonight - JOY and GRATITUDE is in the air.

Earlier we gathered in the kitchen as a family and listened to Tay go over all of his decision making process with us as he asked for his dad's and my approval... (we have from the beginning said that it's 100% his decision and we will get behind it, but we are glad to guide and help him work through it all...) So, we blessed him with not only our permission, but our proud approval and then circled up to pray. Taylor praised and thanked God for this opportunity and gave it all back to the Lord. It was one of those moments... one that will never be forgotten. A jewel in the treasure box of family memories.

Every good and perfect gift is from above. James 1:17
