Thank you! You are looking pretty wonderful yourself...the transformation is amazing. Tell me some of the really great things about it...

your avatar looks so great! what a success!!!

That's cool! One of my cousins is baptist (not sure if it's southern or not). A couple of times my mom let us go to sunday school with him. It was WAY more fun than Mass - I always liked that it was geared towards kids and more like a classroom.

Mmm...show choir. They made us all dresses for choir in high school. That was pretty awesome. LOL.

We are southern baptist. I always loved being in the youth group, too! Now, I still get to be in it! Ha ha! I used to teach middle school choir, but when I moved, I took a year off to be a stay at home mom. By the time I was ready to teach again, there weren't any positions, so I teach Tech. Discovery at a high school...I still help out with show choir, though!

what type of minister is he? I mean, is there a specific denomination? I used to love youth group in high school. Are you a singer? I studied music for a while and I always sang in the church choir.

Yeah, my bariatric bear was used to hold against my stomach if I needed to cough. I thought it was sweet of the hospital to give it to me.

October 24. We are going through the pre-cana thing now (we're getting married in the Catholic Church). We've been meeting with our priest since last October! It's a loooooooong process. Next is the "Engaged Encounter." Reminds me, I have to sign up for that. Yikes!

Thanks! That's cool that we had surgery on the same day! Being a minister's wife is fun, but has it's challenges just like any other job! When are you getting married?

Hi - thanks for the friend request! Looks like we had surgery on the same day!

It must be fun to be a youth minister's wife...we love kids (but don't have any yet...gotta finish this whole getting married thing first).
