Incredible!

I can't believe it has been three months since I've posted! I really meant to do better, really.
We've had lots of exciting things happening around here. Ben went to Texas Tech and so now he's a college man and we're empty nesters. Sophie June was born and she is absolutely exquisite and sweet and a very laid back, easy baby. We are all enjoying her. Two grandchildren are even better than one! I can hardly wait to have six or seven or eight or.......
I am no longer a stay home mom. I am a college student again at UT Dallas. It is so much fun and lots of work but I'm really enjoying my classes and all the things I'm learning. I'm taking 12 hours and I'll do that again next semester and then be finished and ready to start my new career next summer -- hopefully. I'm making good grades which is a relief because I was afraid that my brain might not work and all the youngsters would beat me! They aren't --- probably because they are thinking about boys and I'm thinking about school! I have lots of new friends at college but most of them are younger than Kara and Lindsay. That's a little weird and I'm sure they think I'm ancient, but I'm not -- well, maybe a little on the outside, but on the inside I'm just a kid!
One of my classes is Anatomy and Physiology. As I study the parts and systems of the body, I am more amazed than ever at its complexity and intricacy and what a creative God we have. Another class I'm taking is Normal Language Development. Once again as I learn about the marvels of how children acquire language and how predictably they do it without any instruction at all, I'm amazed at the way God made us. Then as if that wasn't enough, there's Sophie June -- perfectly made, all her parts put together just right in only nine months -- a real person! Incredible!
