Caleb James

I have known Melissa since my 9th grade year when she was my english teacher. I would say that I was the classic "good student". It wasnt until my Junior year of high school that I would become close to Melissa through a student group called Tiger Fever. Melissa was the teacher sponsor for Tiger Fever and I got along with her very well. We kept in close contact after I graduated and I would visit her and her husband, Jimmy, when I was in town. I had lunch with her multiple times when she got pregnant and was very excited to meet Caleb. I remember on May 21, 2010 at 2 pm I met Caleb James Granger for the first time. He was so small and precious! 

I had the privilege to go to his 1st birthday party on Saturday and take a few pictures! He has grown up so much and already has the sweetest personality! I look forward to many more years of celebrating Caleb's birthday with the wonderful Granger family! Here are a few of my favorites form this weekend. Enjoy!

Bailey!

I came home this weekend for various reasons. Mostly just to have a break from college station and figure out what I need to do with myself this summer. I was excited to see my family and get to see my dad this weekend! I was really surprised how much I missed my dog, Bailey, once I brought her to Irving before my finals. I literally teared up when I saw that floppy puppy realize who I was. She has left my side since I walked in the door. Such a sweet dog! Here are a few quick pictures that I took. Just some of her many expressions.

Here is something that I had to think about while reading my bible today. I know that God is in control, but am I okay with that? Am I really letting Him control my decisions. Am I letting Him walk me through the tough choices I am trying to make. Not really. So I am comforted by the fact that everything is going to work out eventually and I just have to have faith in my God and where he wants me. So, here we go! Be blessed!

A friend loves at all times

 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another." - John 15:9-17


Last night we had dinner in downtown Bryan to celebrate my birthday! Nothing like a pizza and dear friends to share it with. I'm lucky! Be blessed!
