last trip with sus for 100 years.

i landed at about 1030pm friday night
i was supposed to have to work fri, but i was on call instead!!

friday morning sus and i went to the phelps lake house
in eufaula, ok
and met up with lauren, brad, ben, and gram

for months i had been planning to make this book for sus
and i finally got to give it to her.
i had everyone in the family make a scrapbook page
send it to me
then i placed it in the book
it is something for sus & chris to be able to look at
and remember her family and friends are thinking and praying for them

Sus is going to be gone for 3 years?!?! I'm glad you got to fly out to see her before she left! That makes me sad that you won't see her for a long time. But I'm excited to hear about all the things she sees and does! You've got a pretty cool sister!
