If any of you have seen the local news you know a security guard was shot and killed at the State Capitol Building in Springfield. I work directly accross from the Old State Capitol Building and a few blocks down from the new. It happened at 1:30 yesterday (9-20) afternoon and they didn't find the guy until 7:30 this morning (9-21). They had most of the buildings and schools in the area locked down much of the afternoon as they searched for the suspect. It was a 24 year old guy originally from Olney. We have shootings in Springfield every once in a while, but it is always in the bad neighborhoods. This one was a little scary!

My sister's wedding proofs are finally on-line. If you click on the heading for this blog, put in 061104 as the password and browse away. They turned out pretty well. I am still learning how to post pictures on my blog, so bear with me.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yeah, so what!
So I guess I'm still not handling the whole "my sister is having a baby before me" thing very well. You see we went down to good ole' TH this past weekend for the traditional Labor Day festivities. Part of which include a parade and lunch with some extended family. Naturally all anyone could ask about or even talk about was the new baby news. Well, I thought I was doing ok until the third or fourth person says . . . "so your sister is beating you by having a baby first". Unfortunately, the last guy that said that to me got to see my true ugliness . . . and that is when David and pretty much my whole family decided I wasn't dealing with this very well. Really, you think?!
Of course since David and I have been married for over 3 years we have been getting the "so, when are you guys going to have kids?" question more and more often. I just want to say, relax . . . we will have them when we are good and ready! We will have David's undergrad loans paid off in February and then he will graduate from the seminary in May. So things are starting to line up to start a family in the next year or so, but with all of the current baby excitement bubbling all over . . . I am not quite as excited as I was before!
Well, enough about my sob stories . . .

Yeah, ok so it's been 3 months : )
Yeah, ok so I'm the worst blogger ever . . . . it has been 3 months since my last entry. I would like to say that it will never happen again, but we all know that would be a lie.
This summer has been a complete whirlwind! The beginning of the summer was devoted to the preparation and exacution of my sister's wedding. And then the following months have been spent coping with a slight surprise . . . that she got pregnant on her honeymoon! Ok, so if your in complete and utter shock, please breath! Yes . . . she is due the second week of March. So it is safe to say that I have been through a variety of emotions this past couple of months. David & I are still sorting through our feelings about not having the first grandchild (on my side of the family), etc. But we just try to push those thoughts away as they are very selfish considering the situation. Both she & Brent still have a year and a half of classes and an internship left at LCC. So the road ahead of them will be a tough climb.
Aside from that summer excitement, David and I (along with my parents) spent a week in Virginia. It was a quaint area not too far from Charlottesville, VA at a resort called Shenandoah Crossing. There were a lot of different amentities (i.e. swimming pools, lake, paddleboats, fishing, mini golf, golf course, horseback riding, etc.) so it made for a nice relaxing time away. Just the break we needed . . . but of course as in any vacation it was not long enough!
Right now, we are focused on Christmas . . . in fact as soon as we got back from vacation we have been looking to Christmas. Our church does a Dinner Theater every year the first weekend in December. And this year, David decided he wanted to partner with another man from the church and write the show. He is still putting the final touchs on it, but so far it really turned out well.
Well, stay tuned for my on going sagas : ) Thanks for reading!
