2 years

-

Two years of change, joys, sadness and fun. Two years of God's love, provision and guidance on our journey. Two years that excite us for 2 more years plus. 

This year my hubby and i got to get out of town for the weekend. We had some good friends that invited us to serve at a Ranch with their community easter egg hunt (next blog entry) serving about 700 people! INCREDIBLE! Then we headed out further south to austin to visit our close friends Christin and Dustin.  It was here at their house that i realized my engagement diamond was gone! I believe we all know that feeling when something either sentimental or monetarily valuable is missing. That sinking feeling in your tummy...that was what i felt and from the look in Christin's eyes she did too.  After searching some and thinking i lost it at the ranch...good luck with that one...Her mother in law didn't stop, she was sweeping the house and to her delight she found it in their kitchen! The lord cares even about that! 

The ring lasted 2 years...this ring has given me a bucket full of emotions! Sheer shock and delight the first time i saw it...sweet reminder and happy thoughts of my kimmel's love, and yesterday shear fear and sadness then 'oh well' and ending with relief. 

I know of a couple men that have lost their wedding bands...any women? Share your story in the comments i would love to hear it!

Happy anniversary, Susan & Andrew!

We almost lost my engagement ring, before it was even put on my finger!! Dan proposed on the deck of a riverboat in Louisville. As he pulled it out of his pocket, it jumped from his hand and rolled across the deck. Thankfully, he caught it just before it went overboard! ;)

So glad you found it. That is an awful feeling thinking something so important is lost.

I lost the diamond out of my ring while working at Target. Never found it. I kept my ring sans diamond in my car hanging on the cigarette lighter [since noone ever used it] until we could afford to buy a new stone for it.
Two years later someone broke into my car, stole my ring, with no stone and not my cds or anything else! ????
I was devastated, and sad. We could not afford such frivolity at this point in our lives. UNTIL I figured out I didn't need a ring to tell me how much Craig loved me. We would be forever, ring or not, if anyone knows me, they also would know about Craig and our love and no need for a ring to let them know I was married.
Several years later Craig's mom passed away and gave me her wedding ring, which I now wear with love and cherish because of it's meanings.

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

week not planned

This past week was something i didn't plan or ever hope for. Last thursday during staff retreat i started cramping in the abdominal area...pretty abnormally...went to the er ...andrew left school and got there right when i was being admitted at 10ish...spent all afternoon testing prodding and found something on my ovary...it was burst and i was internally bleeding...so at 8:30 i was in the surgery room having it removed laposcopicly...is that how you spell it? ;) by midnight andrew and i were checking out, heading home. Spent the weekend recovering which was weird in itself cause no one tells you about all the quirky things that happens to your body with all those meds and stuff. The worst one was the constipation that came from it. one word people "stoolsofteners'' ( i know its not one word its a partial quote from a movie) man oh man...if you have had surgery and your surrounding family made you eat and drink things that were nasty to help you recover and you by pas
