Carli is back at Grove City!! When we were walking toward her dorm, she said "I'm back at school!!!!!!" and then did a little dance. It was nice to see her so happy. She is so glad that the friend that she had planned to room with in the fall was able to move in with her. Rachel is a very good friend and also in her sorority (she's her big sister) and they get along so well. So, Rachel was moving all of her things from her previous room and Carli was moving in all of her things...the room was still looking like a cyclone hit it when we left. Carli was tired, and hopefully she will get some sleep tonight. Her class starts tomorrow and she will have lots of reading, plus 4 hours of class a day.

Kelsie went with us and it was weird to bring her home again! She says that she is looking forward to 2 more weeks without studying. She is enjoying watching TV, which she doesn't have much time to do at GCC. Carli is planning on coming home in 2 weeks (to see Jeremy, not us!) and she will take Kelsie back to school. Will be very different for both of them to have their sister at school! Their rooms are in the same dorm, but the dorm is huge and they are on opposite sides. It's nice for me to know that they both have each other so close.

It was hard for me to leave Carli there, even though she was happy. I thought that I would be ready to let her go, but I guess I just got used to her being here. As her mom I worry about what she might ignore as far as her health is concerned. Hopefully she is smarter than that! She is also trying to figure out where she might go if she goes on the Red Box Mission trip that she was supposed to do last summer. We are thinking that Africa might not be the best in case she would need medical care.

Please continue to pray for good results on the 28th.

Beth.... what a feeling leaving carli,,, its that feeling that never goes away in your stomach! We continue to prayer for healing, strength & guidence!! God's plan is not our plan & someday we will hopefully get to see (the big picture) ...then it won't really matter! but till then we do live here on earth in the midst of the crazy world... can't imagine if we didn't have our faith to rely on...

give the little gerber a big hug too!!

love & hugs
