It is all Froomla's fault . . .

I am currently in a French class with one of my students. I have the joy to sit next to Froomla's brother during this class. Froomla is a friend and a teacher in my life. The fact that you are now reading this blog is because Froomla taught me. The blogging lead to a Flickr account, because one of my loves is photography. I met a wonderful friend on Flickr known as Bethretro. My friend Bethretro introduced me to a postcard exchange group known as Postcrossing. Now I have two awesome pen pals. One in The Neatherlands and the other in China. Yes, my world has opened up because a young ninth grade student taught me something new. I am blessed. I am thankful. Peace!

Today my life changed . . .

Well it has happened. Today my son Josh is out driving on his own for the first time. I am proud of him and thankful that he has earned the right to drive by meeting the requirements for the state of Michigan. Today is a big day for him and for me his father. Soon my son will finish school and move on to college and on with life. It will all happen faster than I care to acknowledge. But it will happen and it will be good. My kids have grown up faster than I ever imagined they would. I am a thankful dad and man. Peace
