Timeline of Recent Events

I hate it when I get behind on posting things. Last week was full of activity. Below are the highlights and pix.

4.29.10 || Danny's Birthday
Was one of his best birthdays ever. He was spoiled. Michael made him homemade ice-cream pie and got a thoughtful card. Lauren made a digital slideshow and got him 2 knock about rose plants (he's been wanting to plant roses). I made him his favorite ribs for dinner and will treat him to see a Skins' game this fall.

4.30.10 || Danny's Birthday Cook-out
We used Danny's birthday as an opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, church folk, soccer folk and anyone we knew well or just barely to come over and enjoy fun. Similar to our Christmas Open House, we had a nice variety of people come and go through out the evening.

5.1.10 || Prom for the 3 Amigos
Michael and two of his friends decided to go to prom with no dates. Who needs the hassle of a date when all you want to do is look good and eat the yummy snacks at prom? And yes, Michael is sporting a mohawk these days.

5.2.10 || Remembering Yen Snead
Its hard to believe it, but it was the 1st anniversary of my mother's death. I thought I would / should be emotional but I wasn't. I actually didn't really feel much, which made me feel guilty like I am a horrible unfeeling daughter. Life goes on. And I hate that my life is so full and blessed and I do forget about her or rather don't remember her with grief like before.

5.3-4.10 || A Little Roanoke Trip
Sunday I set out for Roanoke for a quick visit to see the other 1/2 of the Wine-Price girls, aka The Roanoke girls. My friend Jenn has just moved back and into a house and I was there to be her slave. No, not really. I wanted to help with unpacking and whatever I could, just like she and Zoe helped me when I moved into this house. It was a great visit with the Kidds and the Greers and the Meyers. There was a cookout, a Lacrosse game, cleaning, unpacking, interior design discussion, dinner out and then hang out time. Whew!

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,
I know that full well."
(Psalm 139:14)

And our call in guests are......

"You're listening to Hour of Power and today's topic is 'What is a godly wife'. On the line with us to discuss 'What is a godly wife' are my guests Christy Smith and Jacqueline Dulin. Good morning ladies!"

Yes, this morning I was a call in guest to share my vast and deep knowledge of what it means to be a godly wife. I was contacted by the radio show host because she had heard that I could bring in the listeners for her this morning. That I could help raise the ratings through the roof if listeners knew I was a guest.......... Okay, maybe not.

My friend Katriel who is in my Sunday School class shot me an email last night (mass email) to her friends to call in to WAUG 750 AM (sheesh, wasn't even an FM station or satelite) to discuss aforementioned topic. She was 'subbing' for the regular host.

Turns out only 2 of Katriel's friends called in, me and Christy (on marriage #1 for 20 years). My stats are, well, a little different.

I was nervous, but it was fun! We discussed the "s" word, no not sex, but submissive and various other issues and despite being from different places with our marriages, Christy and I were on the same page about stuff.

Anyway, I made sure Sue listened to the show as proof and she later told me I did not sound nervous although I was. Catrina, this doesn't compare to Rachel Ray granted, but I later found out this AM station also hosts an Al Sharpton program. WOW. I've really hit the big time!
