Saying Goodbye to One P...for a time....




We are the Three Baggy P's.  Jennifer, Jessica and Beth (Mom).
This photo was taken on the morning of August 31. On this day we left Jessica in Southern California where she is attending West Coast Baptist College in Lancaster.  She is almost a Junior.  For the 1st part of her college journey, she attend Maranatha Baptist University which is only 90 minutes from our hometown.  Now Jessica is over 2,000 MILES AWAY FROM HOME! Notice we are smiling now - it's SoCal...it's sunny....and we know our goodbyes are hours away.

Jennifer and Jessica after we just arrived on campus...sporting their new Oakley sunglesses...gifts from their "always spoiling his girls" Daddy

Also with us on this journey is Mr. P's sister, Teresa...known as "Auntie T"


After the moving in....after the shopping for dorm life...after the wonderful President's Dinner...after the great opening service...were the goodbyes. 

On a beautiful, star-fill Southern California night I felt such a peace about leaving Jessica in the Hands of God - for it is He that directed her there and He that will sustain and keep her there.  

That doesn't mean it was easy to say goodbye.  That just means I'm confident she'll be fine.

And...her car will be fine:)  This is the sun shade she picked up at a local store.  

So what's going on with our business?  More on that next time.  We are all still sewing - just in different places....very different places!
