weather up date
i spoke too soon.... the rain immediately turned to a drizzle.... and then it stopped..... though it's finally cooled down from about 95 degrees to 80 degrees.... overcast.... hope the weather for up-north is better this weekend....
finally!!!
it's raining!!! finally raining.... glorious rain!!! it's been way too long since we've had rain and my grass is as dry as the desert.... (bad comparison, i know....).
granted we just washed 20 windows for my former german prof, but at least i don't have to water my garden today....
may joy soak into your soul as rain soaks into parched land.

the reunion...
the klaaren reunion was a blast! after 18 months, we finally found the time to get together and catch up with everyone.... (i'll try to post a picture of you lovely ladies as soon as i have it downloaded). i think i realize now, how much i take friendships for granted... assuming that we'll always be friends.... yet it's also how much effort is put into those friendships... and it's important to be able to get together to catch up, hear what the joys and trials are in each other's life, and to know that you have good girlfriends to rely on. thanks ladies for reminding me about the power of friendship, laughter, and love and for sharing your lives with me!
by the way, i will put money on the fact that hatti will be cheerleading coach as soon as isabel and mallory hit high school.... she just can't get those cheers out of her blood....
okay, enough mush..... hahahahaha :)

6/25/2005 reunion
our last reunion in 2003 was filled with talk of wall colors, diapers, husband's dirty socks, gardening, and reminiscing about the past..... as the last standing member of the DWC*, my contributions to the buzz of husbands, houses, and hijos ('children' in espanol) were extrememly limited and i realized that if i was going to maintain some level of conversation with these dear friends something in my life was going to have to change....
love was not knocking on my door, adopting children seemed a little intimidating for a single (considering the long-term implications), and so i decided that the easiest solution would be to buy a house and start splattering wall paint at my own discretion....
it's 2005 and i'm anxious to jump into the conversations with talk of my 'nacho-cheese' colored bathroom walls.
can't wait to see you ladies!!

blank thoughts....
i don't know how many times over the last month i have sat in front of this blank post wondering what to write... isn't it strange that sometimes the complex, twisted, ever-running rumblings in our heart and mind turn into blanks when you try to express them in words.... the blank canvas awaits the strokes of color to bring to light the things that remain expressionless.
do you ever wonder what consume your thoughts?
is it the mundane? is it the complex? the forbidden? the holy?
thoughts of self or others? of Christ?
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2. Corinthians 10:5)
"Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." (Colossians 3:2)
where are my thoughts? what are my thougths?
a penny for your thoughts....

An Act of GOD perhaps??
Check out this bizarre story.... then again, thinking about biblical stories, perhaps not so far-fetched!
