Isn't this how it all begins? This is my daughter and her fiance. The wedding day is May 17, 2008. It makes me remember a time not too long ago when she was born. I would wonder about how my children would turn out when they grew up, and here she is! She's studying to be a physician assistant and will have one more year of school left after they're married. He is also in school going for a second degree to teach high school math. When you're young, you can do anything!
I don't have any recent pictures of my son (men are even less inclined to be caught in front of a camera lens). He is finishing up his master's degree in engineering at Virginia Tech. He will most likely be moving back to York to find work. Women, he's unattached!
My husband and I have been married 28 years and are blessed to have 2 Christian children. Neither one has fallen short of those anticipations I had when they were babies.
My husband is a wonderful father (probably why they turned out so well) and great husband. We are enjoying our time in the house sans children. He loves spending time at home "putsing" around. Running keeps him in relatively good physical condition. He goes to a hunting cabin near his Pennsylvania hometown once a year which gives me time to myself and gives him a break from the suburb where we live.
Hmmm, myself. I get bored easily and find myself filling my time with a variety of hobbies and comittments. Here's the short list: Full time nurse practitioner (my vocation), potter, swing dancer (mostly lindy hop, but some Balboa and Charleston), fitness instructor, reader, and reluctant gardener (I consider it a chore rather than a hobby). Because my life is divided among these activities, I'm not great at any of them, but good at most (although my dancing gets stale sometimes). I'm kind of like the Jack of Many Trades and the Queen of None. I HATE house work and am a lousy cook (just ask my kids). Although I am not participating a lot in the programs of the church I attend God is a definite force in my life. In all the various activities I am involved in I pray that I can be a light to Him and be a good Christian example to those I meet along the way.
As this is my first experience blogging, I will sign off now and try to visit my space more often. Andrea, thanks for your tutorship and support!
