Merry Christmas ..... Prewitt Family News 2005
In The Name Of LOVE…. He Came!
Christmas 2005
It is the time of year in which we send greetings and salutations to those we love! We also share with you a little about our year. We hope this letter finds you all doing well.
So on with the news: This year we went to St Augustine Florida for spring break and we did not see any ghosts on our ghost tour. The boys attended several camps this summer; they went to soccer camp at UAB, Camp Lake Stephens, Cub Scout Day Camp, and Can’t Stop Singing Camp (was that all???). We also visited Aunt Anne on the MS gulf coast and Aunt Cooter in Amory. We also made our annual pilgrimage back to Okaloosa County to visit friends. The highlight of that trip was a day at Big Kahuna Water Park. We have celebrated beginnings and endings this summer. The beginnings included two weddings and at least three births. The ending was saying good bye to our beloved dog; Dudy Noble Polk passed away in June. He was 16 years and 4 days old. He had been sick for months and passed away while in the loving care of Dr. Tony Loper and the staff of Vicksburg Animal Hospital. We also lost several other loved ones of the not so furry variety as well. But we must remember in Christ there are no good byes; in Christ there is no end.
Jay is twelve can you believe it and Josh is ten. Jay is in the sixth grade and Josh is in the fifth and both are back at Beechwood Elementary this year. Josh is still playing violin and is participating in a youth orchestra here in Vicksburg. Jay earned his Arrow of Light this year (the highest honor in Cub Scouts) and bridged over to Troop 638. Both boys are still playing soccer with VSO and thankfully they are both back on the same team this year.
We learned some valuable lessons from Hurricane Katrina this summer. We learned that you can survive a week without electricity and in doing so you see a lot that you normally wouldn’t see… like the raccoons eating wild grapes in the trees behind the house… The boys also learned that helping others can be fun as well as rewarding work. Their BSA Troop volunteered at the Red Cross Shelter here in Vicksburg and had a ball playing with the children and pets displaced by this horrific storm.
Nathan started his 5th year at MSU/ERDC. He is still enjoying working with the guys. But we are all relieved that all this traveling as lessened somewhat this year. It is nice to have him home more! He is still taking violin with Josh. Tracye just started her 2nd year at Dana Road Elementary (yes I know what I said last year). She is considering going back to college (online); she’s found the program and the school and even filled out the application but now she just needs to find the courage to … go for it! We just got a new car now we both are Honda owners (Element and 06 Civic Coupe). We are still looking at houses but we can not find one that meets all of our requirements. We think we have found a new church family as well… we have started attending Porter’s Chapel UMC and have made fast friends with Rev Raggy and his family. Nate and I had a fun “date” when we went to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra in Jackson. What an AWESOME; AWESOME concert! If you ever get the chance to see TSO … GO! You won’t regret it! Well when I wrote you last year we were looking our nephew’s deployment in the face this year we are almost to the end of it …. The 150th should be home soon!
So as you see we have had a busy year again this year. We are doing fine and life is good. The boys are growing into young men and you all would be proud of them… they are our pride and joy!!!! We wish you peace, joy, and love in the New Year… Come to see us when you can; if you can’t; drop us a line, pick up the phone, or send us an email! We would love to see you or hear from you! Take care of yourselves and one another! We love you all and think of you often!
Merry Merry & Happy Happy, Tracye, Nathan, Jay and Josh
