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)

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...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
