I Finally Established a Google Account...

Wow! It's been over a year since my last post. It is obvious that this blog has not been a priority in my life, although I have still enjoyed reading the blog posts of various friends and ministries.

I'm involved in a massive writing project for a special emphasis at our church and this seems like an appropriate time to return to this blog as well. Perhaps, I can "try out" bits of the project here...unless I get selected for a civil jury in our county which is expected to serve about SIX weeks beginning on March 24, 2008. The questionnaire I received with the Jury Summons is a writing project in itself. [Do everything without complaining...um, could have done without that verse popping into my mind at this moment *sheepish look*].

Just to catch up on some high points of the last year:

Our daughter graduated from LeTourneau University in early May of 2007 and we had a great time celebrating this event as a family.

Tom and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in late May and joked about Paige going to Hawaii instead of us (she could stay with my sisters in-laws which would not have been our choice for an anniversary trip so we used airline miles to send her while her cousins were also there). Is she spoiled or what?

Paige decided not to start graduate school immediately and began to work for the Boerne Public Library.

Tom and I spent a few days in Colorado after dropping Paige off at Glorieta Baptist Conference Center near Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she worked the previous summer.

Tom and I remain active in our church here in Boerne and Paige joined a church in San Antonio where she could make new friends as part of the Singles ministry.

Paige and I began attending BSF on Monday evenings here in Boerne.

Paige met Daniel at church in December and we are enjoying the excitement and challenges (long distance relationship with one in Texas and the other in an internship in Ohio) of this somewhat quirky but much loved couple :)

Paige celebrated her 21st birthday in January with a trip to New Orleans to visit a close friend and Valentine's Day with a trip to Ohio to see Daniel. Do I see a pattern here? Paige keeps taking trips while Mom and Dad remain at home :p Hopefully, this will not be the pattern for the rest of the year. I'm really in the mood to plan a trip.

God has blessed us in so many ways during this last year. I look forward to sharing through this blog from time to time. I hope you are having a great day!
