Scenes from a Stress-Free Weekend

2/19 - dinner at a Chinese restaurant with Justin's Arabic classmates and teachers.



2/21 - visit to the Heywood's ranch



K taking 3 kids to dinner isn't entirely stress-free (esp. when food took literally an hour after it was ordered to be brought out).

But we are totally free of school stress for the first time in almost 2 years.

We found out that Justin got a waiver!

He was close to passing, but didn't. Getting a waiver is just like he passed. He got it because of his good reputation and leadership skills. And because of prayers. They work. THANK YOU!

Congrats to your family! i was thinking about you the other day. chad's been traveling a lot lately (home a week, gone a week) and it's been so hard! i thought of you single parenting for months at a time & worrying for your husbands safety to help me not feel so bad for myself...you more than deserve a break & good things coming your way :) thank you for the good example!

love all the pics and updates. i wish i kept as good a record as you!
