IOU for OU Weekend!

Thanks Diane and Jill for making memories with Jon.
Memories that will make him smile, make him wish,and keep him company always. A little history here...Every year Diane and Jill take Jon to an OU game for his birhtday. They laugh, they play, Jill and Jon gang up on "Auntie" and they make memories.
I believe it's God's destiny for Jon to play football for OU. I believe it's part of his plan not a coincidence that Jon and Jill became such good friends. Jill is in the Hall of Fame at OU and is a great role model for Jon. She makes him want to step up to the plate and be the best that he can be. Have you ever told your child something a thousand times and it appears to have zero impact,then somone else tells them the very same thing and they act like it's "news"....
This weekend Jill talked to Jon about the importance of GPA when you apply at a school like OU. The same thing I've been saying to Jon since he brought home his first smiley face in kindergarten:) It must have had an effect on Jon because he actually did homework Sunday night. I'm hoping that being an A/B student is no longer "good enough" for Jon.
Jon is so blessed to have "Auntie Diane" for his Godmother. If the truth be known she probably prays more for Jon than I do. Her faithfulness in praying for Jon everyday melts my heart. Perhaps this is why Jon says he will never let "Auntie" go to a nursing home, and I believe him.

We always have a great time with Jon. There are not to many 15 year boys who still want to hang out with their Auntie and her friend. Jill and Jon are two peas in a pod. They both love the Sooners, sports in general and rap music. The weekend was a lot of fun, great food, great company, great weather and the Sooners won.
