Photo Tag

Lacey Wheeler was kind enough to tag me. So here we go...



Aubri, her husband Jason, daughter BriAnna & I looking at the Lincoln County Fair booth exhibits in August. It meant a lot to me that Aubri took the time to see me before going to the Philippines. We didn't really "hang out" much in high school so it was fun to get to know her better. I appreciate Betsy trying hard to be there as well even though it didn't work out. My original intent was to watch Teddy sing, which would have been too much fun by itself, but I'm thankful she didn't mind me trying to recruit a few of my friends to help me heckle her.
