Glorious Graduations!




May and June have been a month of graduations for Greg and I. We absolutely adore our cousins. I am the oldest cousin on both sides of my family so when I get a chance to celebrate my cousins I can't wait.  As each of our cousins have spent their whole lives coming to my games, homecoming, graduations, etc. Because I went to school 6 hours away from most of them (a lot more for the rest) I have always felt sad that I could not get up there for all their games. So I rearranged schedules and rearranged again to try to make it to as many graduations I could. There were a lot! Some were on the same night so we had to put family first and miss out on some friends unfortunately but we tried to make it to either a graduation or party!  We made it to all of our immediate family-younger cousin's graduations! 


CONGRATS GUYS! WE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ALREADY GRADUATING!! LOVE YOU!

23rd Annual Brent Jones Young Life Open







Another great year on the course at Almaden Country Club. I am really amazed at the generosity of people in our community that give up a day to golf and financially support the work of Silicon Valley Young Life. I am incredibly grateful for our dedicated committee. Jean runs this tournament like it's no big deal. This is her 23rd tournament and she is phenomenal. I'm learning so much from her. Greg served on the committee this year and provided great golfer/YL leader input (I love my husband--he is so great!!) Brent is also very dedicated to being present at planning meetings. People always ask if they can borrow him for their tournaments since it's just his name to ours and I always with a smile get to say, "It's not just his name. It's his tournament, his input, his perspective, his ministry and his way of giving back to the ministry that introduced him to Christ at Leland high school." It's so awesome to serve alongside people that have passion and that pursue their passions to bless others! I love my job!
