Austin turns 20 today - June 23, 2011

Today is Austin's 20 Birthday !  He is a young man with a bright future!   He is our first born grandchild !  He is awesome !  Austin has lived in San Diego CA most of his life !  He is an avid sports fan !  He is a natural born athlete !  Austin loves to play basketball, his sport of choice !  He loves Jesus, his parents, his grandparents, his uncles and aunts, cousins, and a certain young lady !  Austin brings great joy to his grandparents in Texas !

Last spring he came to Texas and enrolled in McLennan Community College !  He had a 4.0 GPA at the end of the semester !  He worked part time for Target while attending college.  He loves Baylor University Lady Bear Basketball.  He went to the home games !  He and his Grandad went to the Quarter Finals,  Big 12, BU Women's Basketball to watch Baylor lady bears play and WIN !   In San Antonio, Texas !

I miss having Austin around this past year but have treasured memories !  He taught me to like 'American Idol !'  He taught me that 19 year olds like their privacy and time alone !

He taught me things about my computer that are invaluable !   He taught me how important it was for him to text and receive texts from his friends at home !  He taught me how to slow down and watch a fave TV show with him.

Lots of intangible things Austin taught me !  Intangibles can't be explained...they are special and many times spiritual !  God gave me a great gift when Austin came to live in our home for four months !
