Month: April 2008

  • Life is plugging along.  Busy at school with getting ready for competition at a choral festival.  I love my job…it is so cool to be able to sing and share my passion of music with children.

    I am looking forward to summer.  It’s been a tough school year, but one where I feel I have grown.  I feel more confident about my abilities as a music teacher/choir director. 

    Jonah is due to make his appearance any day now.  Every time the phone rings I think it may be Jason or Valerie saying that he is on his way! 

    I was released by my doctor for my arm.  Thank God for allowing my arm to heal so quickly! 

  • I went to the Orthopedist today and had more x-rays done on my arm.  The dr. told me that I had done an amazing job at getting my flexibility back and couldn’t believe how well I could move my arm.  They released me from their care and said I didn’t need to come back anymore!  Praise God!  I didn’t have to do any kind of therapy or anything!  I am so blessed!

    On another note, I think I either jammed or broke my little toe on my left foot.  I let the cat in this morning and rammed my toe right into the corner of the wall as I was walking back to the kitchen table.  By the time I left for school, it had turned all black and blue…

    Am I a mess or WHAT???

  • Wow…what a weekend.  First we went to see Jacob in Pirates of Penzance.  It was amazing and Jacob was so great in the part of the Major General.  David and I had no idea that he had such a huge part – we were very proud parents! 

    Got home around 11:30 and packed and got in bed around 12:30 am.  Got up at 3:30 to dress, finish packing and leave for the airport by 5 am.  Arrived in Florida around 10:30 and surprised Jason!  Valerie’s shower was great…we had so much fun.  I took alot of pictures, but many of them came out blurry.  I can’t hold the camera still when I take pictures..grrr…I will still post some of them…even if they are blurry you will get the idea!  The turn out for the shower was great and they got a ton of wonderful gifts.  We had a great visit.  I got home around 12:30 am this morning and then had to get up at 5 am to go to work…man, I am very pooped.  But it was a wonderful weekend getting to see Jason & Valerie!  Here are some pictures:

  • Memories

    So I was looking through some old baby pictures of my boys the other day and came across some letters that my mother in law had written to them after taking them to Disneyworld.  Wow…did it bring back memories.  Memaw was an incredible person that loved to ‘make memories’ with her kids and grandkids.  She had a special way of touching people’s lives and leaving her handprints on them.  She had such a passion for sharing Jesus with others. 

    She is now in heaven and doing whatever it is that we do when we leave this world.  All I know is that I miss her terribly.  She has been gone from this world for 6 years now.

    After reading her letters to the boys, I really want to do those special things for my boys and my grandson who is due to arrive very soon. 

    Thank you Memaw for being such an incredible gift to us and for loving us and making memories with us!
