And Life Continues...

The Symphony was amazing! It was so much fun to get dressed up and Go to Benaroya Hall again! I love the Symphony. It was called The Fabulous Forties and they did everything from Broadway Show tunes, to Swing to Hits of the day. There were also a pair of Swing dancers who came out and danced to a couple of the songs, it was really neat to watch. There was a guest Baritone who had an amazing voice! He did the vocals for some songs form Oklahoma! as well as Stranger in The Night, which is just such a great song! Afterwards we went to Buenas Aires an Argentinian Steakhouse, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was just right. Happy Valentines Day!! It's such a great Holiday when you have someone to celebrate with :)
Yesterday was Joy's Birthday, She is now 23 years of age, She and Dan, along with Anna, Aleena, Sarah and Josh came over to celebrate her Birthday with a Dinner party at our house. It was so much fun, I used the good china, and made cheese stuffed Tortellini and Stroganoff, as well as fresh baked Italian Herb Bread, straight from my breadmaker, was there ever a better invention?! I recently found out that Joy loves Tapioca Pudding, so that was the dessert menu. I topped it with sliced strawberries and Joy had a single tall candle in her dish. It was a lot of fun! I forgot to take a picture of her with her tapioca but I did take several other photos and now I used up my disposable camera, so I jsut have to take it in to get it developed so I can share the pictures with everyone!
My class is going well, only one more assignment before the final. This last paper I turned in was so annoying, I hated the story that we had to write about. It was just pointless. But I got it done and we will see if my professor goes for my "theme". I think that I will be able to make it through! I go in for a guidance meting on Monday and will find out how many classes I need before I can graduate with my AA. If I can do it this summer then it will only have taken me 6 years to get a 2 year degree... Life has some pretty funny turn in it.
Well I thinkI got you all up to date... "chick-flick" night is on Monday and we will be watching Meet Me in St. Louis, which should be a lot of fun :)
God Bless!

Long Time, No Blog

Hello all! I am aware that I have neglected my blog for far too long. So I am back, for now. I realized that I depended on my silly camera to tell my stories for me. So I had just celebrated my brothers birthday when my camera broke, I can't show you pictures but we did have an enjoyable time. I made a pot roast and a cake for Jeremiah, he had a swing dance competition with his Friend Lauren, and while it wasn't quite what they expected I think they still enjoyed themselves.

More recently Jonathan and I assisted in hosting a "Sweetheart Swing" at church. We were the dance instructors and we hired a WONDERFUL swing band, The Ham Carson Quartet, it was a lot of fun! We decorated the sanctuary and it was so pretty and romantic. Naturally from 2 + hours of dancing I was a bit sore the next day but it was well worth it. I do have pictures I took on a disposable camera, but I have to finish the roll this weekend and then I will try to post them.
Tuesday, being Valentine's Day was fairly low key for us... but we are planning a delightful day this Saturday. We received 2 lovely Valentine's in the mail from Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Larry and from Chris and Jan, Thank you so much!!!!
On Saturday we are planning on going to the Symphony at Benaroya Hall and then dinner either specially prepared at home or a restaurant, we havn't decided yet.
I will let you know what happens!
Thanks for sticking with me!
God Bless you all, and I hope that we get to get out of town soon and spend time with all the people we care about!
