Family Celebrations… May 2013

We’re in the middle of big family events right now. Ben, Bonnie, and Patrick are here for Jenn’s graduation from Stetson. (I have a lot of photos to go through before I post our official announcement of Jenn’s big day. Stay tuned!) Also, we’re celebrating Ben and Bonnie’s second anniversary, our thirty-first anniversary, and Bonnie’s and Ben’s birthdays. Last night, we also had a mini-party for Patrick’s eleven-month birthday since we won’t be with him for his first birthday. Continue reading “Family Celebrations… May 2013”

Jenn Receives Honors

mikeandsus

Jenn visited us last weekend and shared about a few encouraging events on campus recently…

She was invited to an honors banquet where she received the Outstanding Senior award in German and also was one of five receiving an Outstanding Senior award in English.

Several days later, Stetson students gave oral presentations of their research projects all day long for the faculty and other students to listen and learn from their studies.  (This annual event is called Stetson Showcase).  Jen’s paper, “Two Women in Conversation: a Blues Approach to May Ayim and Audre Lorde“, earned second place in her category.
