SWEET SIXTEEN

Today, February 14, 2010
our beautiful daughter turned 16 years old!
We celebrated all weekend long!
Here is what part of our festivities looked like!

A group of friends went to see the movie "Valentine's Day" at the local movie theater.

And no birthday is complete without a few family photographs!

An Italian feast was served, Rebecca's favorite - Cheese Ravioli's, choice of 3 different sauces,
salad, and garlic bread.

There was serious cupcake decorating that took place after dinner.
All the cupcakes were very creative!
And everyone had a lot of fun customizing their own desserts!

After the delicious meal and dessert, it was time to open gifts!

And then some moments that were simply worth remembering!

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN TO OUR BEAUTIFUL REBECCA!

We find it so hard to believe that you are no longer a little girl, but a lovely young woman!
We are so proud of you and we love you very much!
What a joy to have you in our lives, and what a pleasure it was to celebrate this special day with you!
Love you always,
Mom (and Dad)

Hi Liz! Long time, no post at my end. I'm happy to be back in the saddle. I loved this post! What a blessing for your young woman to be surrounded with so much love on her special day. God bless her and keep her and make His face to shine upon her and give her peace - AMEN!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

Friday Fill Ins

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...
