Hello everyone. Its so hard to believe that it is already to the first of July. This summer is flying by and i just don't really like the fact that we only have a month until fall sports practices start and a month and a half until school starts. It is also very hard to believe that on July 19th, it will have been a year since ^Charles^ earned his wings and left this earth. We still miss him so much, but we get by and do what we have to do.
Mom, Ben and I traveled to Carbondale, Illinois this past weekend to attend Baby Elise's (Elise Rochman) benefit at Blue Sky Winery. We had a great time visiting everyone. I really enjoyed getting to hold Elise and meet and hold her new baby brother, Sammy. We got back home on Sunday. Its always hard getting to see the kids and always just having to wonder if we will get to spend more time with them. We just know how quickly things can change. Hopefully we will get to see everyone again soon.
Towards the end of the last school year, I applied to a program called ACES. It is a program for high school and undergraduate students that are planning to go into the medical field. (I have always wanted to be a Pediatrician) I found out last week that I had been chosen to interview for the program. I did the interview yesterday and I think it went pretty good. I should find out whether I got in by the middle/end of July. I think this would be a great opportunity for me and am really hoping that I get in. So a few extra prayers that my interview went good would be great! =)
Wow, this has been the longest entry for quite a while. lol But there isn't much else going on. I will be heading to Wisconsin starting Sunday for a vacation with my dad. Ben has county fair stuff starting in the next couple of weeks, a misson trip towards the end of this month, and sometime a trip to my grandparents planned. Bryce has been working hard at the farm mowing and raking hay so that has kept him pretty busy. Mom has just been working and also working at the farm house to get it emptied out so that it can be knocked down here in the next week or so. We are all really exciting for them to start working on the new house. It seems like it is taking forever to get started on it. lol Oh well. It will get done eventually.
I hope everyone has a wonderful, fun, and safe 4th of July weekend.
^Charles Lee^, We love and miss you soo much baby boy. It seems impossible that it has been almost a year since we last had the chance to hold you in our arms. Can't wait to see you again some day.

P.S--This picture is from a couple 4th of July's ago. I believe Charles' first. He would have been about 4 1/2 months old.
