Great News!


Exciting news...Neil received his acceptance letter to Rutgers Turf Management School in New Brunswick, New Jersey, which is just outside of New York. He will be only an hour away from Cara. She's excited about that! He's been waiting for this letter for the last month and you can imagine how excited he was to get it.
He came over tonight and I had to get a snapshot of him---this is his "Yeah! I'm on my way" look!:)

His classes will start in October. This is a 2 year course. One day he will be the Superintendant of one of the finest golf courses (in Texas)! It took him a while to figure out what he wanted to spend his future doing but now that he has decided we are so excited that God is opening the doors for him to pursue just that! Who would've thought that mowing the courthouse lawn all those years ago would inspire him to do this! Ha! Ha! (Don't believe that for a minute!:))
More exciting news! Crystal and Tyler had their sono today and it's "official"---it's a BOY! Yep! Another boy! Campbell Reed Tullos, expected to arrive November 11th! Had hoped I could start buying pinks, but Crystal says, "Maybe SEVERAL years from now!"
Tommy has been working hard getting together that fishing trip for all you guys! Right now it looks like about 17 will be going! I told him he's got to take the camera. Great blog pictures from that to be expected!!!:)
Til next time...

Papa and Grammy just got back from our long weekend with Whitaker. Crystal and Tyler had their annual Youth Camp, so we got the honors of hanging out with Whitaker. And what a fun time we had!
From just lounging, to the park, to the zoo and then coolin' off at the pool it was most enjoyable!!! Here are some pictures (I didn't figure you wanted to see all 100 of them!) to see how big he's getting!
After a Father's Day supper and shopping "spree" at the new Bass Pro Shop last night, we headed home at 10pm. 850 miles, 2 stops, 2 tanks of gas, 1 driver and 1 sleeper (you guess which one did what) we made it home in a record time of 12 hours!!! Guess where the driver is right now! Snoozin'!:)
Crystal and Tyler are doing wonderful. Their camp was a huge success. Lots of kids got saved and filled with the Holy Ghost!
Their sonogram is scheduled next week sometime. She thinks this one is a girl. We'll see if she's right! Another Whitaker will be just fine with all of us, though!:)
I don't think it's ever a "fix" but, as they say, we've had our "fix" until November when he/she is born!
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!
