Carrie's senior trip to Colorado starts on May 23, and as of tonight we have our flights! We still have some lodging to book, but things are coming together. It's 84 days until the trip, and we usually have everything in order by now. This year we have had to be patient because of Brandon's surgery. He is doing pretty well, and may have a second surgery in late March to re-configure his small intestine. We know Brandon probably won't be blazing the trail ahead of the group, but we are happy he & his family are going!!!
There are numerous events taking place between now and May 23. Lots of recitals for me to play - which involves many hours of practice and rehearsals. Two graduations, and numerous "lasts" for Carrie and Alyssa. Our trip Colorado will be exciting, but at this point I want to savor these days as the girls' become the women God wants them to be, in the places He has for them!

Update on Brandon
Thanks for praying for our friend Brandon. After 12 days at Scottish Rite in Atlanta, he was released today, and is at home by the fire! Brandon had his large intestine removed on February 1, and will face another surgery in the summer. The second surgery will close the ileostomy and reconnect the small intestine. As Brandon said today, he's made it through the toughest one. The 2nd surgery requires far less time to recuperate.
Brandon will have school instruction at home for about 6 weeks, several follow up visits to Atlanta, and hopefully be cleared to return to school by April. His family is very grateful for the prayers, and the love shown by many friends. When they returned home today they found dinner waiting. They went to get their dog from the kennel, and were delighted that Jingles had been bathed & the boarding fees paid! What a blessing!
Continue to pray for the Williams family as they take care of Brandon's physical needs without the aide of the wonderful staff at Scottish Rite! Once he has recovered, I'm sure he'll be anxious to get outside, so hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures of Brandon fishing later in the spring.
