Just call me Pip...

I'd like to use my blog to thank my anonymous benefactor. Apparently someone has paid for me to wear jeans for the next 6 Wednesdays at school. I can't figure out for the life of me who it is, so I figured I'd use my blog as an outlet to thank them. I don't know if this person is a blog reader, but I needed somewhere to say thanks.

Thank you whoever you are!!!

My Dad

Please keep my dad in your prayers. He has been on the trip of a lifetime in Europe with two of his best friends for the past 10 days. (See 3 Ps in Yurp link to the right!) Today, he returned home. About an hour into his 9 hour flight, he began throwing up and continued the entire way home. When he reached the airport, they rushed him to the hospital. The doctors determined he had a mild heart attack. They were able to put a stint in, but there was some heart damage. He is doing better, but very uncomfortable right now. Lance and I were at the hospital all evening with him and our family.
It is really hard to hear words and phrases like "heart attack," "stint," and "balloon" when someone is talking about my dad. In my mind he is invincible. I can't wrap my brain around it just yet. When I try, I tear up and I can't breathe. God is good and his timing is just right. I am so thankful that this did not happen yesterday when Daddy was in Rome. (Although he was with the Pope. Surely he could've done something.)
Please pray for his healing and for our family as we are going through this right now.

Fireproof

Lance and I went to see the movie, Fireproof, tonight. If you have the chance to see this movie, do everything you can to see it. It is such an amazing story of God's love and how to love each other. I left the movie with a renewed sense of love for my Lord and my husband.
It may not last long in the theaters, so go see it soon!

Noah has something to say...

What the heck, Mom? Why haven't you updated the blog?

I've caught some grief lately about not updating (Shipley!), but life has been so busy lately. The beginning of the year is kicking my butt! I promise I'll work on posting more!

The best sound in the world

You're just jealous...

I had a brush with fame this weekend at the Frog Street Press Conference. This was Saturday morning and it totally made my day. Who can say they've sung with Bob from Sesame Street?

Please keep in mind that I was trying to sing softly, but apparently that's impossible. Also keep in mind that I have not sung the song in 25 years and the words were a little rusty :)

For a few moments I was taken back to my 4 year old days and was completely star-struck. Good times.

Just like Mommy

I'm sure these will end up in a wedding slideshow 30 years from now. (And, yes, I said 30. )

Does this make me a bad parent? :)
