Happy Anniversary

Well, today is the 1 year anniversary of Danny and I "re-entering" each other's lives after almost a year of heartache previous to that.
Crazy, isn't it?

I'd offer the cliche phrase "What a difference a year makes!" but that would just not be accurate. I offer instead, "What a difference Jesus makes!"

Happy Anniversary to us and happy anniversary to yet ANOTHER way in which God reminds me that He does things His way for a reason. He does things His way in His timing for a reason.

And then I offer: "Thank GOD!"

Finally: FURNITURE

I meant to post this a couple of weeks ago, but we finally got our furniture! I love it! But I made the most common mistake and underestimated how big the furniture was going to be in my living room space, despite carefully measuring the area.

Anyways, I love the colors and am excited about getting more artwork up on the walls and paint them too. Its strange how much the furniture has changed the whole feel of the room. Danny loves my selection and calls the gold/yellow ochre colored chair "his chair." That thing is so big we both can actually fit in it!

The artwork you see is of course by Holly and David Graff. You'll even notice a wedding pic in there -- Holly is the photographer too.

Oh and that cute greenish coffee mug -- a wedding gift from Catrina (her dad made that!).

So come visit and have a seat on our couch :)

Web of Murder Success

Congrats to Michael and Lauren for their hard work on the fall production of Web of Murder!

Last week was brutal. They'd get home from school at 3, do chores, homework, etc. I would have to help Lauren with her "old woman hair" -- which meant blow drying out her hair, moussing it back to put in a ballet bun and then applying the "grey" (baby powder). This was an hour process -- EVERY DAY. Then we'd all gulp down some sort of dinner (mostly sandwiches) by 5:20 and we'd all head back to school. They would be there until 9:30 or 10 ...... It was exhausting for everyone but the shows were terrific!

Lauren was amazing and really performed her part so well. So many folks came up to us and congratulated her in disbelief that this was her first performance. I'm not trying to brag, but she really was the best actor up on stage. When we get the video up on YouTube, I'll post the link.

Michael was responsible for building the set and it was gorgeous! Wish I had a pic of it, but the light was too dark.

Anyway, Danny and I were OH SO PROUD. It was great meeting the parents of the other actors. The parents and the kids are all a great group of folks. Truly a wonderful experience. But we, ALL of us, are glad its over.
