END OF 2022 KID UPDATE

I am working on our family's first Christmas card in several years. Here today I am posting the heart of the letter: 

The update on each of the kids.

Here we go:

Caleb, 21, has one semester left at Wabash College and then he will be serving the next few years with the Army. Since his sophomore year, Caleb has been involved in ROTC, and we recently found out that after graduation, he will be working in the Armor branch – which means tanks – and he’s pretty excited about it. Early in the new year, we should be getting specific info about where he will be stationed – it could be as close as Tennessee or as distant as Germany.

Hannah, 20, is in her junior year at Olivet Nazarene University, just south of Chicago. She is loving her studies in interior design – it seems to be a great fit for her. She keeps busy outside of class by holding down 5 different part-time jobs including being a tutor and waitressing at Cracker Barrel. She has hopes of studying in Europe for at least a short time over the coming summer.

Samuel, 19, is halfway through his second year at Ball State in their computer science program. He’s looking at graduating early, though, so he might be finishing the same time as Hannah. He spent last summer selling books door to door in the suburbs of Detroit. He learned a lot doing it – especially: how hard it is to make money selling anything door to door. 😉

Sarah – our last one still in the nest – is a sophomore, fast approaching her 16^th birthday (come January). She is loving her art and dance classes. She just wrapped up dancing in the high school production of Elf The Musical and next she will keep busy with show choir competition season.
