Can you find him? Look closely. He's the 8th from the left.........Now that you counted....it might have been easier saying 4th from the right....but he's sooo worth the extra work!
THIS kid has a great outlook on life, family, friends and FOOD (and lots of it). He is also a Jesus Freak like 2Shaye! She got him hooked up w/ Younglife. And to think of it...Wormie turned 2Shaye onto Younglife...so it really is a handed-down kind of love.
THIS kid....has the greatest friends of all time. Seriously...they have been very close for so many years. The sad part....for THIS kid.... they are all seniors...and he's a junior...so they will all leave him this fall as they take off for college. Most of them are going to NCSU..... and with 2Shaye there...Im thinking my house will be very empty on the weekends in the coming year as he spends time with them. His friends are unbelievably supportive of each other. They are each other's biggest fans. And when they arent playing sports...they are there being the BEST student section that the Cardinals have EVER had! They go all out in find garb to match their personalities. It was this group ..... that create and gave life to 'The Red Men'.
These are the original Red Men. They all bought these spiritsuits before a Younglife Camp and instantly became legendary. Many have tried to imitiate them but they will never be duplicated. Seen here with a Teacher. They are typically at all sporting events for the ones not playing. They run out the football teams...they show up at basketball games...have been asked to go to the Middle School.....they are loved by all that know them. They are famous!
This happens to be one of my favorite pix of all time. The Red Men are so far in the distance but they stand out to the point of almost glowing.
Only their personalities could pull off this look! Big Daddy didn't even recognize Xbox dressed like this.
The best part of tonight..... these boys will be making landfall into our home again. I love them all! They know how to have fun.....and enjoy the best things in life. They typically spend one night a week together.....making memories that will forever be burned into their memories. Our home is always happy when it's our turn to host 'the gang'! They know what true friendship means.....and will always be brothers to each other.

I love your post about THIS KID! It brings back so many memories of special guys. They still come by to see us here and there and I still miss some of them. A few of them became so comfortable in our home that they told me when we were out of their favorite food! Are all the other red men seniors? If so, he needs to get some juniors to join him next year so the tradition will continue. Go east Surry!
