SHE DID IT!!! Terri called us last night from Pittsburg and she had JUST gotten off stage from the announcement of the winners of the National Flute Association's competition of which she was one of the top three. SHE WON!!! She was soooo excited that she left the concert to go out in the hall and call us to let us know. I dont know any of the details yet or even when Gabriel & Terri will be heading home, but WOW!!! This has been a dream of hers - to win a major competition. Did I mention SHE DID IT???? WOO HOO!!!
WE DID IT TOO!!! After getting Dara registered for school last Friday we were at Emmaus working on the musical then Mike & I drove the two church vans full of 5th, 6th & 7th grade camp choir members - and Dara!!! We took the crew to bowl here in Norman. We had 3 other workers with us while the director worked on other stuff and Joe Kellogg got ready for his vacation up in Colorado (sigh!!!) THEN we loaded back up after 2 hours of bowling (I NEVER knew how emotional some little girls got about bowling without bumpers - LONG STORY) and were at the church until the musical that night which went VERY well. Mike, Dara & I came home more tired than we have been in a long long time. WHAT FUN!!!
This past week has been full of Premier, nursing home ministry (Mike), jury duty (Cherri) and doctors appointments (Dara) ending with Friday night YEC - youth evangelism conference for Dara while Mike & I did a jewelry show. Picking Dara up at 10:30pm and having her back up at the church at 8am and getting her from the FORD CENTER at noon in a crowd of about 10,000 kids - did I say last weekend we were tired??? We are having soooo much FUN!!!
Church today and another week of doctors, jury duty & nursing homes as we get ready for our school year.
Love you guys and LOVE hearing what you guys are up to -
Chase, Ryan, Ty & Dal have been sort of quiet - have got to talk to each on the phone just a bit. More about them later - time to HEAD TO CHURCH!!!

Cherri,
You and Melody, I just finished reading her post as well, are TERRIFIC writers. You guys make your experences so real I can smell, hear, see, and touch the things you guys describe.
Way to go Terry. Mom and my being at North Texas right after her competition there helped me know the atmosphere where she is now.
By the way Cherri, if you're not careful, you'll make someone think life IS NOT boring, dull, monotonous, and to be endured instead of enjoyed. AND, of all things, you'll make it sound as if you guys like each other and what kind of marriage is that for crying out loud. :)

Cherri - thank you for the window into all of your lives.
That is SO awesome about Terri! Tell her we said BIG congrats on the performance.
I can't believe Dara is a senior! She's turned into a beautiful young woman. (But she'll always be my "lil squirt" and you can tell her I said that even though she'll be very angry with me). :)
Love you guys.

Yeah for Terri! What an accomplishment...and to realize one of her dreams...how exciting!
Sounds like you and Mike and Dara are getting into church life BIG TIME! And having fun while you're at it! Life is good, isn't it?
This is too funny...I never know how to spell yeah like "woo-hoo" as opposed to yea like an informal "yes," so I looked it up on dictionary.com. Here's what it said for "yeah": adv : not only so, but; "I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice"
So...for Terri..."I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice!" :)
Melody
WOW, what a week! And I thought our lives were busy!!!
Thanks so much for taking time to share your life with us. What a great way to stay in touch.
CONGRATS Terry! And Dara, your senior year of HS, you're going to have a blast!
How funny, I just read Brett's post after I wrote this...we SO think alike! That's why I love him...he's just like me :)
Keep posting!
Love you guys.
