Leah's Graduation

Yesterday, June 14th, was Leah's Graduation Day from Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA. It has been a rainy Spring/Summer so far, but as of Friday, the weather has been great. Yesterday was 67 deg during the morning event. We are so proud of her. On Monday, she will leave to work for the forest service again in Oregon, fighting fires where needed. She loved the work last year and makes good money. Then in the Fall, she will live back here in Coeur d'Alene doing her internship at Dalton Elementary School, a 1/2 mile away where Laura and Kayla go to school. So that will be nice for me and the girls to have Leah close. Pray for Leah's plans this year as it entails a lot of energy and danger.


Here is Koko and Leah. Koko is a friend that Leah met at EWU.

A video of Leah getting her diploma. I missed capturing the announcement of her name. Fiddling with the camera and not know exactly where she was in the sea of grads, took my attention away. And then a group picture.

Thank you for your faithfulness in sharing the photos/updates! Leah is beautiful inside and out! She is always so sweet and helpful when I stop by the house just like her Mom! How proud you must be with both Leah and Jason so successfully completing their coursework! How wonderful to have Leah at Dalton Elementary next year! I'll bet Laura and Kayla are thrilled! We will be praying for Leah's safety as she helps protect all of us!
