College Graduation

 Josiah recently completed his degree at Boise State University!  He graduated with a History/Sociology Secondary Education degree and already has a job lined up at a local middle school to teach 6th grade world civilizations.  We're so proud of him and the work he's accomplished!  Can't wait to see him in his classroom.  His students will be so lucky to have him!

 

 

Olivia's Graduation

 Olivia's graduation was super fun!  We are so proud of her for how she persevered and accomplished amazing things. She had been ready to graduate since freshman year!  Now all she can think about is the day when she's done with college and can begin her teaching career.  She is majoring in history/secondary education with the hopes of teaching middle school (hopefully overseas).

MAF missionary kids - what a special bond they have

Shari taught both Olivia and Josiah in Ecuador.  We are so blessed that she lives here too and has been a huge support to the kids.  We LOVE her and blame her for all our kid's faults!  :)

Us

Olivia and Abby.  Olivia worked with Abby in math this year and moved her from a 3rd grade level to being ready for algebra! They have a super sweet friendship....two peas in a pod!

We had a party in ID and of course it rained.....it NEVER rains here!  Thankfully people were ok to be in tight quarters!  Olivia has a lot of sweet friends here.

Denece is INCREDIBLE.  She was so generous to us by creating this amazing grazing table for the party.  What a great friend.

The introvert, struggling through talking to everyone.

Because we were going to be in Ohio for a deputation trip, we decided to also host a party for our family and friends there.  Olivia has some serious artistic talent.  She made this sign free-hand.

She also has a sticker Etsy shop in case you're interested.  www.etsy.com/shop/LivFaithfully

Track

 Olivia ran track her freshman year until she hurt her knee and then sat out the second half of the season.  Sophomore year was Covid.  Junior year she didn't run.  Senior year she decided to give it another go...and we're so happy she did.  We just wish she would've had more time to figure out which event was perfect for her.  She mainly threw the shot put, ran relays, the 100m dash, 400m hurdles, 400, and long jump (once!).  She had a fun time (especially with her brother coaching and she also loved working with coach Jerrod) and even qualified for the state meet.  We will sure miss watching her run.
