Two classier individuals there could not be. (And to think they went and married one another?! Uh-oh!) No, seriously, my heart has been celebrating all nite long … gladdened that God has called these two to image His love and life to our watching world.
Honored to be a witness (and so thankful Kurt took that phone call … even during 24).
honored to introduce …

My partner in crime (who works so very hard to make it look like I know what I’m doing) has finally started blogging in her brilliant way. Stacie started working with me this past October, after I begged and promised “office hours whenever” … she’s worth every prayer & plea I made. (And many I didn’t.) So grateful for our friendship and collaboration. (Get to know her for yourself: http://boyzrus.wordpress.com/.)

Playing at the Sprint Center tonite and - I confess (as I put on my pj’s and prep for a serenade while I sleep) - I’m just a little sad that such downtown neighbors will no longer be mine. (Moving day is just around the corner for me: a week from tomorrow!)
I know it would drive some folks crazy to sleep where I sleep (with trains pulling in & out of Union Station, sirens screaming in the nite [KC's quite tame, but a siren is, after all, a siren], and live music in the distance singing me to sleep. I love it. Positively.
Good thing I’m only moving a few miles away. Though I won’t get to live inside the city, at least I’ll get to visit quite a lot.
Here are a few photos (and a short post) from a friend of mine who recently came to visit. It’ll be fun to see where God moves me next for a (more indefinite) geographical commitment. (My new lease is only a five-month-er; enough time to scope out the options). It’s bound to be a pretty fun exploration …

Birthday 3-2: 1 of the best, I must say.
We started with a brand new “pre-birthday” observance … made possible by my rock-star/brother-in-law, who took-on the role of single-parent for over 24 hours to give us what just may be the best gift conceivable: uninterrupted, exclusive sis-time. Add to the extravagance: pajamas (by 6 p.m.) + homemade BLT’s (by 9 p.m.) + hours of conversation (converging by 10 p.m.) + sleep, sleep, and more sleep (wake-up at 8 a.m.?!). It seemed the birthday had been duly-acknowledged before it even began!
Turns out, things were just warming up. Think brunch-out (what says indulgence like ciabatta-pecan french toast, mugs of coffee, & college roommates lingering over conversation until mid-day?!). Add to the mix make-up tips from a pro, birthday money exchanging hands, and dinner out with close friends. (What more could a girl want?!)
At one point during dinner – when the conversation was getting really good — I thought to myself: we couldn’t have planned for a birthday this good. Then I remembered: we did.
But only one Grace-Giver made good on such plans. I must say: it’s such fun to be celebrating — yet another year — of this, His company and care. Such mind-blowing-beautiful-spaces amidst this messy life; how much more must be around the corner?
Celebrating (and planning) every chance we get …
i think it might be getting serious

How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people.
–Edward White Benson, Archbishop of Canterbury
