Weekend at VA Beach

8/25/2006 Dirk and I went to visit Liz in VA Beach this weekend. We rented the guest suite in her apartment complex. It was a 1-bedroom fully furnished apartment -- very nice!

8/27/2006 Dirk went fishing at East Beach (Liz & Adam's new neighborhood) and look what he caught!! It jumped off the hook after I took this picture... 

8/27/2006 Liz and I did not spend a lot of time in the water because of all the jellyfish! They were HUGE! Dirk was brave enough to go in to fish, but he did get a few stings! 

Britt's Suitemates

8/20/2006 From Left to Right: Danielle, Brittany, Brittany, Kristen. Kristen is from Winston-Salem, NC, and Danielle & Brittany are best friends from Snow Camp, NC. Danielle and Brittany are both planning to cheer for HPU. Kristen is majoring in early education and wants to be a teacher. 

Britt's at High Point!

8/19/2006 We drove down to HPU on Friday the 18th and moved Britt into her new dorm. Her 3 suitemates are all very nice, and her new digs are really great - not dorm-like at all! The HPU's mascot is the panther, and this huge statue is outside the athletic facilities where they held the convocation on Saturday. We left Britt on Sunday, and she seems to be handling her new life pretty well. They are keeping the kids busy with different orientation sessions before classes start on Wednesday. 

Britt's Dorm Room

8/18/2006 Britt's room is nice, and it is a bit small, but she doesn't have to share it. Her suite is like a 4 bedroom apartment with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living area and a kitchen. I guess the days of having to share a hall bathroom with 20 other girls are gone... 

Girls' Weekend at VA Beach

8/11/2006 Britt and Erin took a road trip to VA Beach to visit Liz. It was the longest Britt has driven without adult supervision, and she performed just fine under the pressure! The 3 girls had a great time eating out, sunning at the beach and playing at the pool! 

8/11/2006 Britt and Liz all dolled up for a night out on the town! 

Get Off the Road - We Have Another Teenage Driver!

8/5/2006 You read the headline correctly! We have our 2nd teenage driver in the house! Erin passed her driving test this afternoon, and she is thrilled! I've told her she now has to get a job... Someone's got to pay for gas, insurance, oil changes... 

Ian Meets the Commandant of the Marine Corps!

7/30/2006 Daddy took Ian to meet the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Michael W. Hagee. Can you believe how tall Ian is getting?!?!
