Morgan is now at the high school and loving being a sophomore! She’s starting the process of learning to drive…I’m not sure I’m really ready for this. She is still very active in the kids’ ministry at our church, and she is saving up for a mission trip. She would love to go to Africa and that is her goal. It will be a while, but she is already starting to save money and research places to go. She is also getting the opportunity to be in various clubs this year, including Art Club and Beta Club, and she continues to grow her babysitting business. Parents and kids both love her as much as we do!
KayLynn is now at the Jr High, and loves performing in choir. She is now also taller than Morgan and almost as tall as Cory! This year has had its ups and downs; you may have heard about the shooting at the Jr High earlier this year. KayLynn was good friends with the boy who shot himself, and we would definitely appreciate your prayers as we try to navigate how that affects KayLynn. Since she and Aaron also lost their Papa in June (their dad’s dad), there has been a lot of grief and many challenging moments for them both. This is their first holiday season without their Papa, and it is not easy for them. Please pray that they will feel uplifted and that we will know how to best support and encourage them through this.
Aaron is now at the Middle School and has begun playing the trumpet. He enjoys learning it and we enjoy hearing how far he has come from the beginning of the year. He is also very involved in the youth activities at our church and is transitioning well from ‘kid’ to ‘youth’. He is growing into a sweet young man, and judging from the size of his monster feet, it won’t be long before he’s taller than even me! He would love to have your prayers also, as losing his Papa has been a very difficult time for him. They were close, and he is taking it hard.
Our biggest and best piece of news this year, though, is that Cory got a wonderful job!! He is working in the repair department of a local company called the Worth Ave Group, so he spends his day repairing iPhones, iPods, iPads, computers, and various other electronics items. He gets to go to class in January to become Apple certified, and he absolutely LOVES his work! This is a huge blessing for our family and we are praising God for bringing him into this opportunity!
Speaking of jobs, I got a new one, too! I am now a patient account rep for Stillwater Medical Center, and I am really enjoying it. I started Dec. 3, so it’s still very new. The ladies I work with are fantastic, and there is a great group of prayer warriors here who not only work well together but also pray well together, and that is such a big deal! God is definitely leading our family down new and exciting paths!
As always, we love you and pray that you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year! We hope to hear from you!
Lots of love and prayers,
Meredith, Cory, MoMo, KayLynn, and Aaron
