A quick prayer request!

Hi all,

My Aunt Lori, in St. Louis, had an emergency appendectomy on Monday. It actually burst on Saturday, but she didn't go to the hospital until 1 am Monday morning. Needless to say, she's very blessed to be in the hospital at all. She'll be there until Thursday and then they think she'll be home for about six weeks before going back to teaching at the Abiding Savior Pre-school. She's feeling pretty sick right now, so many prayers are still needed for healing and patience.

Thanks!

28 is Great

Twenty-eight. Twenty-EIGHT! How did I get here?! Is twenty-eight that old? No. What makes me feel old is the fact that my sister is twenty-three! I don't feel older than twenty-three, so how on earth could my sister BE twenty-three?! Oh well.

I spent my birthday weekend celebrating with friends and family. I highly recommend visiting Gruene, TX if you're ever in the area between Austin and San Antonio. It's a quaint little town known for their live music at Gruene Hall, as well as the Gris Mill, a wonderful restaurant with Texas-sized onion rings. Yum! Then, my friend Crystal made St. Louis-style gooey-butter cake. Double-yum!

My third-cousin, Brad, his wife, and my roommate helped me celebrate on my actual birthday. It was fun and I would say twenty-eight is treating me well.
