The Boy...

There will be a boy visiting us this weekend. We don't know very much about him. Mostly just the facts: tall, blond/dark blond (I think), nice (other's have said), lives in TX, graduates in May with his Masters (I think), and the main fact...he has managed to capture the attention of one of my beautiful, younger sisters- Marcie.
Many may have considered it an impossible feat due to high standards (You go girl!), focus and drive concerning other matters within the world other than having a boyfriend; but, as we all know there is a season for everything.
So, Marcie Levens, I am anxious to meet "the boy" (who will be referred to as "the boy" until I have been introduced). I am Excited about the "changing of seasons" that you are in, and that we have all gone through.

They are arriving by plane in New Orleans around 2:30 so let the GRILLING begin! Did I mention he is staying at our house in our spare bedroom?? I'll play nice...I promise.

To Guatemala We will go...

Johnathon and I will be leaving early Sunday morning for a mission trip to Guatemala...I don't know how to spell the city's name. We will be working on building projects for an orphanage. It will be lots-o-fun! I think I am more excited about this trip than our vacation to the Bahama's last year. It will be a short trip (7 days).
This will be J's first mission trip and I keep trying to psych him out with mission trip factoids that I have stored up from my previous trips. Like: bring a hanger to fish out the toilet paper because you can't flush it, NEVER go to an under developed country without Duct tape and Baby wipes. Other things like...he was cutting the sleeves off an old shirt to bring for painting and I told him a true missionary would not waste the sleeves but recycle them for a different use i.e. a bandanna, wash rag, napkin, you name it. I'm pretty sure he is very impressed with my knowledge and wisdom about such things-as you can see in the picture above.

First Post...

I am realising that the world is passing me by...via Internet blogging! So to keep up I have started a blog for Johnathon and I. Yes, yes, yes...I know, I said I would not do it because it was, well...LAME. So was having a Zach Morris cell phone back in 1993. Now look around cell phones everywhere.

Hence, here we are in the blogging world!
