Isn't He Sweet?

I like this picture because it looks like I force my husband to help in the kitchen. But in actuality, Paul cleans up the kitchen every night like it's 2nd nature. I love this. I love him.

Misty Reaches a Quarter of a Century!

Misty Amber Johnson. She's one of those rare gems that comes into your life and then never leaves because she's just THAT contagious, THAT loving, and THAT precious. Misty and I were roommates for my last semester at Grove City College-- before I transferred to JMU. I've always been struck by the Lord's obvious presence and work in her life and the passion with which she seeks Him. Misty can make a joke out of anything and a pun out of any word. She is a bright spot in my life and in so many others' lives. I love you Misty! Happy Birthday to you! I am so very grateful that you were born.

Happy Birthday Sarah & Carly! I have been blessed with so many wonderful friends. Two of them share the same birthday! I hope you two have a great day (probably celebrating together) and know how much you're loved. I'm so thankful you were born & pray that this next year is one in which you continue to know the Lord's love and character more deeply. Miss you!

Our Two Nieces

I have two nieces. 1 human, 1 canine. the black furry one is Molly, and I would like to formally welcome her to our family. Welcome, Molly! Though your breed be "cockapoo", you are not a frivolous lap dog. I wish you many happy years of being a strong female of great ambition and dignity. Molly is Mark & Jenn's new puppy, and I can tell that she will be a well loved and well spoiled little creature!

My other niece is Mary. Because she is so awesome, I will include a photo of her as well. Everything Mary does is wonderful. Paul and I are afraid we might not like our own kids very much because we love Mary so dearly, and they will have quite a lot to live up to.

Our third niece or nephew will be arriving in about 1 month! Hart and Colleen are due to have their new baby on March 5th. We can't wait to meet you, Baby!
