Karen's Story

Life I am now a grandmother to 3 grandson's, and 2 step-grandsons. Son Matthew who is stationed at Holloman AFB, New Mexico has 2 boys. He is E.O.D. in Air Force (bomb squad). Very exciting! He has already gone to Afganistan. He will be sent to Iraq in few months. When all other military are pulled out he and others that are E.O.D (which are Air Force, Marines, Navy, and Army) will still have to go to find bombs and get rid of them. Daughter has son and is Married to John Bruhin former UT football player and NFL player with Tampa Bay, and Eagles. I have 2 step-grandsons. BIG GRANDSONS !!! Oldest is playing Football at Marshall. Little John will be a senior at Powell next year so his college is yet to be. I am thankful I don't have their food bills! Up date the above: April 28, 2008 Son Matthew has gone to Afganistan 2 times and is to be sent soon to Iraq. He is now stationed at Seymore Johnson , North Carolina. Yea! Closer to Knoxville. Daughter Natalie and Husband John Bruhin have faced a great loss. Step Grandson Zane Bruhin age 21 had incident with gun and died Jan 11.2008. Very hard on family. Step Grandson Little John(L.J.) is now at Marshal playing football. Grandson Noah is soon to be 5 so hardest on him to understand. P...Expand for more
lease pray for them. God is always here for us and I know he always hears and answers our prayers. I pray GOD'S BLESSINGS on "YOU" who reads this. Have connected with classmate Gary Ellison after not seeing each other since 71. Put picture on my profile of us together. So fun to reconnect with classmates! Picture taken Labor Day Weekend 2008. Today is March 12,2010 Grandson Noah 6yrs old accepted Jesus and was baptized last month. So exciting to know how much he is aware of his spiritual life! My Son Matthew is in Afganistan for 3rd time. Will come home late April, 2010. If you have seen the movie "Heart Locker" you can see what he does. So excited to have gone to "CHS 71 GIRLS NIGHT OUT March 9, 2010 ! Judy Bateman planned the time and place and it was perfect. All that showed up had a ball. Even our surprise guest !!!! lol! We learned sadly of some of our classmates that have died. We realized how wonderful it was to be able to get together and share, laugh and of course eat!!! I so hope and pray the next one any CHS GRADS will try to show up. So much fun and such a blessing! Today is Jan 26,2011 My son Matthew is getting deployed for 5th time. His last deployment was such a testimony of GOD'S protection for him and all with him.
