Well, while we have been surviving freezing temperatures all week and staying pretty warm, we have been watching our last snow storm melt away. Today, right when my grass was almost visible, snow began to fall. Not much of course, probably about 1 - 2 inches, and now the ground is covered again! We are excited, sad that church was canceled, but looking forward to a movie rental (The new Ester movie came out on video!) and homemade chicken noodle soup. Hope you enjoy the snow falling on your screen while we watch it fall outside our window. I know you CO folks will have much more than us again...keep me posted on how much.

This is a funny joke that I read today and liked... thought I would share it! My kids love going to the Web, and they keep track of their passwords by writing them on Post-it notes. I noticed their Disney password was "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto," and asked why it was so long. "Because," my son explained, "they say it has to have at least four characters."

Thought I would share our wedding song in honor of being together for 10 years this Valentine's Day! We even had a cat named Valentine after this song and our first date (Feb 15, 1997). We will be married 9 years in August, but actually started dating 10 years in Feb!

John is already very excited about a new movie that is coming out Feb 23, 2007 to theatres - Amazing Grace. It is the story of John Newton and William Wilberforce during the 18th century when Wilberforce uses his role in Parliament to try to abolish the slave trade in England. It looks very interesting and a great date night! Check out this site to see the trailer and learn more about these men. The site also has the story of the song Amazing Grace and other neat resources about this time in history. http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/index.php

Here is a link to a blog that John really enjoys reading. Justin Taylor has posted about our Music Pastor's new CD which sets the poetry of Amy Carmichael to music. It is one of our favorite CD's and we are excited for others around the country to enjoy these songs. Here is the link to the blog post today: http://theologica.blogspot.com/2007/01/his-faithfulness-cd.html

I was tagged by Alicia to come up with 6 weird things about me in my last blog so I thought I would give it a try... 1. I love to re-organize furniture when I get REALLY stressed. John would come home from work some days and the entire living room would be swapped around as well as the bedroom furniture. He knew we were going to be spending most of the night talking about something or other - I should say he was listening. It is also a great workout! 2. I can't eat food that is mixed together much at all, especially different textures or temperatures. I am just starting to eat tacos with lettuce and trying a few different meats with stuff on it. I always order everything "plain" and rotate my plate around eating one item at a time like a child. NOTHING can ever touch anything else or I can't eat it. Casseroles are truly a nightmare for me! 3. I am an obsessive back seat driver. I have to drive anywhere we are going or drive my husband crazy telling him "a car is ...
