Life goes by fast! Years ago when anyone would ask me how old my little sister was, it was always an easy question to answer. "Maribeth is 10 years old!". By the time she reached the age of 16, I still wanted to give the same answer. "She's 10....years...ol...uh...um...well, actually, she's 16 years old. What!?" All that to say, this year I realized how grown up Beth is and how much fun it is for her to no longer be 10 years of age. We didn't get to spend as much time with her before she left for college but the time we did have with her was special. We've been able to share more openly the struggles in each of our lives but to also turn around and encourage each other. Here are a few of hundreds of memories captured of Beth as well as a glimpse of who she is.

Off to Eternity Bible College in Southern California. Have fun, Beth! We love you and miss you!
Wow - she's still 10 years old in my mind as well. Can't believe that she's off on her own. But then again, I still think of Chuck as a junior higher most of the time.
ReplyDeleteWait, Chuck is still 16 isn't he?
ReplyDeleteAww this is precious, Miss!
ReplyDeleteI love you guys so much and miss you! I cherish the times we had before I left. Can't wait to see you in December!!!
