Jake Strickland, a Life in Transition that is taking definite shape, Texas Tech Graduate









...flash forward





 recruits












I am so proud of my nephew Jake.  He has worked hard and stayed on schedule and made nothing but good grades.  He isn't quite finished, he is still looking to get his Masters.  He graduated with a Bachelor's of Business Administration in Accounting.
He is a strong young man and I am looking forward to him getting busy with real life soon.
I know Angie and Mark are very proud of him without a doubt and they feel they should be on a first name basis with the Chancellor of the school.

Blair, Senior 2014 in transition


Today was her last day of Ira ISD.  I can hardly believe how grown up she is and how fast thirteen years really can pass.  She has always been beautiful inside and out and always will be.  Thank you Blair for being ours.  I love you, Dad loves you, Raven loves you and Emily loves you.

Individuals but Twins, Lives in Transition

The more things change.....
 ...The more they stay the same!



They simply climber higher these days...



 "The sky is awake.....So I am awake..."
I think someone had had ENOUGH of someone else.... (not really sure who the captor is, vs. the captured)










Since they started school we have noticed a trend... during the school year, they were sisters, friends, students, roommates... but during the summer they were twins again.  We would find them asleep in the same bed in the mornings, finding time together unlike sisters and more like soul mates.  But the older they get the more they become individuals which is something that some have tried to force on them but they have resisted until lately.  We can see them becoming two lives which will someday be lived separately on some level but will always have a close soulful connection.   This separation is necessary, healthy and expected at our house.  We have neither tried to force nor encourage it because we knew it would happen in their time, not our own.  Having twins is a privilege and huge responsibility.  And quite a ride!  God truly blessed Shawn, me and Blair when He gave us these two.
Lives in transition at our house.... things are always changing!
