The three of us are very rarely together at the same time anymore.

Samm is at my parents right now but will be moving to New Jersey after the wedding in September – and when she is home – she works at Chili’s as a waitress and then at Elderwood as a nursing assistant from 11 PM to 7 AM. Xavier lives in NJ now and doesn’t get to come to Athens often since their schedules don’t mesh well.

Derek just graduated from Indiana Wesleyan with a degree in Christian Ministries. He is going to Seminary in Kentucky in the fall with his wife Jessica getting a nursing job there.

The six of us – we will all be together again for Samm & Xavier’s wedding in September.

I am the oldest – Samm is 15 months younger than me and Derek is 2 1/2 years younger than her.

I love them dearly!
