I'm back!!!

Well, the construction project is done, we're down to the touch-ups, and I have just had my first 'normal' week in a very long time. Not quite sure what normal is anymore but hey, we'll find out. I got so much satisfaction last weekend just watching people coming into the building and gasping 'wow' as they realised their church experience is now going to be different from now on. I'll post some pics in a day or so BTW. I thank you for your patience in waiting for me to get back to blogging and I also thank those who sent me encouraging (& threatening) messages that if I didn't start blogging again.....I'm back OK! (Not mentioning any names but Katie has really been on my case).

Life is good at home. Emma, George & Mandy are all well. George is a beast and eats like one. Emma has grown an inch on the last month and Mandy got a promotion at work. She's now the Director of the Neuro Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.  To say I'm proud of her would be an understatement. She is a champion and I'm so glad she signed our Marriage Certificate!!!! We celebrated 10 yrs of marriage of March 7 (sorry for the blurry photo, our baby sitter took it). It wasa great time to reflect on God's goodness to us in those 10 yrs and how we could never have predicted where we'd be right now...life is an adventure.

Hey, got ya to do a little blogging didn't it :-) And yes, you did have some valid reasons...but I couldn't NOT give ya a tiny bit of ribbing. It really was great seeing everyone last weekend. We do miss the RVC-AV crew tons but LOVE what God is doing in FBO! Can't wait to see more! Now that things are winding down a bit (construction wise) maybe you should take your beautiful wife on an anniversary get-away for a little R & R (and NO, she didn't tell me to say that). Thanks for including some recent photos of your beauties. I REALLY want to squeeze George's adorable cheeks!

PS- You Rock!
