Rusty

Well!!!! Rusty has done it again! He's done such a good job at work that they offered him a really big promotion! Great job hunny!! The only thing is that we are moving to MARYLAND! Rusty will be leaving in a couple of weeks and the kids and I will stay here and finish up the school year and then join him. We/he will make several trips back and forth while he is gone. I'm really excited for him, but man I'm not used to SNOW!!!! We have prayed about it and know that this is what we should be doing. It is going to be hard to leave Georgia. It was also hard when we moved from SC, but we know that it was the right thing to do for our family. I know that the Lord will bless us and we will be fine, as long as we are together. We have been blessed with GREAT friends in SC and GA, that we will NEVER forget!!!! If anyone wants to come visit all you have to do is call, our door will be open for you!! It's a good thing that we have cell phones and the internet to be able to keep in touch with our family and friends!!! I already miss everyone!!

Report Cards

GOOD JOB!!!!! to these smart children, they all made straight A's on their report cards! I'm so happy that they always do so well in school. A funny thing happened to Lindsay, Monday when she gave me her report card, I opened it up and saw B's and 1 C. I turned around so fast in my seat to ask her what was going on and she just looked at me. While they were in class looking at each others report cards, this boy accidentally put his in her folder. When I saw the name I just laughed. Then I looked at hers and said, there are those A's I'm use to. B's aren't bad! but if you always get A's that is what I expect to see.

Russell and Rebecca

This is Russell's girlfriend Rebecca Crouch. This was at Myrtle Beach this past July with our Bell family vacation. Russell brought her to Christmas with Rusty's side and my side so that the other families could meet her. She is a very sweet young lady.
