Alex went to Freed this weekend

When Alex got home and we were talking he said it was weird going to Wal-mart and not having to tell anyone, and I got to thinking about that and decided that would have to be strange because all of your life you have had to tell us where you were at and when you were leaving to come home and now you have no one to answer to. I was worried to death about him but I will say I did make it ok while he was gone. This will be a tough transition for me, letting go and it is not an easy thing to do for me.

I am very proud of him and want him to have a great time while oft to college. And that is what we have children for to raise them and send them off to college and hope the best for them. Alex will be a strong christian leader and will lead lots of others to Christ.

I will have the most adjusting to do.
A. I will have to get use to Alex not being at home at night in his bed, because I like my children being in their own beds at night.
B. I like knowing where they are and when they arrive and when they leave. O.K. yall this is not going overboard.
C. I like seeing Alex everyday!!!!!
D. I can't believe Alex said he was only coming home once a month.lololol
E. Saddened to know I can clean and paint his room when he leaves. NO MORE AUBURN ROOM!!
F. Jasmine has claimed his room closet, she says she needs more room yea right.

guess I will go for now Have a great week. Mary

Alex's 18th Birthday

I will have to first start off by saying how proud of Alex I am. He is a joy to have as a son and he can just about always make me laugh. It is so hard to believe how fast time flies by it just seems like yesterday that I was thinking "Man Alex has a long way to go till he turns 13, 16 and now he is 18 years old, you parents please take and enjoy each day because before you know it your child will be graduating,and off to college. I am not going to take Alex leaving to colleg easy, it makes me so sad to think that I am not going to see him everyday, to think Alex is not going to be in his own bed at night. My children have always been at home at night, those of you who have been through this may can help me adjust because I am not adjusting very easy.

I am proud that Alex want to go to Freed and his mission is to become a minister. From watching Alex through the years he will make the best preacher because he really cares and feels from the heart everything he says, he really wants to help people learn how to become a Christian and live a great wonderful life in the Lord. When Alex and us went to Ragland and I watched him get up there and teach the class, and lead singing and do the preaching it brought tears to my eyes because I realized that my son is a dedicated man of God and this is what he is best at, and he wants to lead people to God, and nothing will stop him.

Oh and I want you all to know Alex needs a job keep your eyes and ears open. Tennis is almost over and he will definitely need to work for the summer. He don't think so though but reality is time to grow up and start working. hahahahaa

All I want to say is I Love You Alex and I will always be here for you. Love Mom!!!
