I've come to realize that being a youth pastor's wife means there will be many many many high school graduations in my future -- along with my numb backsides.

This photo is me with a couple of my girls from Salem Heights (Julie and Heather), one of my girls from CKC (Jane), and one of my sister-in-laws (Carolyn), who is both a Salem Heighter and an honorary Korean. Next, Crescent Valley graduated on June 9. This is Bryan and me with all of our seniors at CKC: Jane, Janet, Wonmo and Chris.
