This & That

Kenny's in bed catching some Z's before his early shift tomorrow morning, and I'm sitting up late watching The Food Network and playing around on InDesign with ideas for Jon and Abigail's Save The Date cards. They asked me to design all the paperwork for the wedding and I am so excited! I can't wait to find the perfectly weighted paper to match the idea in my head...I also have some 3D ideas which include ribbon and pictures perking ...so I promise to take a picture of the final product. For now, it's looking like this:


They also had their engagement pictures taken by the one and only Leah Robbins who shot our wedding almost two years ago...wow! Check out some of their pictures on her blog: www.leahrobbins.blogspot.com


Tomorrow is a big day: Mom's second surgery. Her first surgery, a lumpectomy in December, left cancer in the margins, and they hope going in again will prevent mom from having chemo. How we pray so! I had coffee with her this morning and she said (in a way only Julie can say) "If the oncologist tells me I only have to have radiation, I'm going to fall on my knees and praise God right there in the office!!" :) I hope she does! The Lord who hears our prayers is strong and mighty. He hears us when we call, Psalm 40: 1-2. Thank you for your love and prayer support at this time!

-By the way, my mom has facebook now! I think the earth has tilted on it's axis.

-I also have a new crafty obession: Anna Maria Horner textiles! She resides in Nashville, has 6 children and an imagination that just won't stop. Check out her blog here: http://annamariahorner.blogspot.com.

-I love snow with the best of them, but am so very ready for Spring! Which reminds me of a quote from Charles Spurgeon which has ministered to my heart in this season: "O Lord, if it be not spring time in my chilly heart, I pray Thee make it so, for I am heartily weary of living at a distance from Thee." It's tulip time :)

-I also have 11 pegnant friends. What is in the water these days? Don't worry...I haven't been drinking it ...yet ;)

Okay, well...maybe I am getting a little sleepy. Goodnight, world!
