weddings and graduations

I couldn't be more proud of my oldest 2 granddaughters. One got married this past September and didn't have a chance to get a  photo until lately. Here she is with her brother and sister. 
She and her husband were supposed to move back closer to us but he got transferred to SanDiego instead.

Nicki who still lives with her mom and dad graduated from college this past Friday. She got a triple degree so took her longer than most to finish. Now we are praying she gets a good job in one of her fields. Here she is with her mom and dad. Jackie is her sweet mom and my daughter-in-love...

Nicki is also getting married sometime next year but she and her boyfriend of 8 years are keeping it a secret of "when." Here is their engagement photo.
Her boyfriend Kolin graduated last May and has been working for Corp of Engineers for 3 years now. Thankfully he is stationed locally and expect them both to remain here. They are both such home-bodies.

Sonny had his 2nd knee replacement last Tuesday December 11. He came home Thursday and he is really doing good. He did so amazingly well on first knee and looks like he is doing even better with this one. 
Yesterday (Saturday) our water went out. Son who lives closest to us was hunting so I called Jackie who got in touch with him. Sonny did not want to bother him while hunting. But we did and before the son could make it to the house, Sonny had hobbled out to the pumphouse and worked on the pump. Didn't help much and then decided we needed new pump. But the hardware store near us was already closed. After the son arrived, they figured out it was the electric wiring overhead from the electrical box to the pumphouse. So they called a young man in our church who is an electrician but he sent his dad instead. His dad is our pastor. So they got the rewiring done by 7pm. Wire is still on the ground but will have to wait to be rehung when Sonny is up to it. Our son leaves for work again late Monday so won't be possible to get it done before then. He won't be home for 3 weeks. Of course all that moving around and being on his feet made Sonny really sore. He slept in this morning.

It's amazing how much can change in a few years. And seems time speeds up as you age. I promised to put up photos of the beginning of o...
