Good Friend Jami left after the Ceremonies to head home.  We want to wish her the best as she continues her recovery.  We Love Jami and will miss her.  We all went to eat at Maggionos.  Food was good and the the company was better.  Manning rode with us in the van and everyone went back to Shepherd and they all hung out for the evening just Fellowshipping with J.T. Jacob plans to hangout with his cousins tomorrow and J.T. will host some more visitors and friends after some light therapy. Christie and I will ready her and Jacobs things for the trek home.  Many prayers are needed and so much work is left to be done.
