    I was looking through the wedding pictures on your niece's blog and recognized one of the groomsman! Seth Reagan! I've known him since he was a teenager when we all lived in CA. We went to church with his uncle and aunt in Folsom! Small world!

    WOAH! How do you know SETH REAGAN??? I used to babysit him up until they moved to Northern California! And about the wedding dress, I have two teenage daughters that someday will be married. They have both expressed concern at the fact that there are not any modest wedding dresses. I need to take them to this blog and show them her dress.

Brandon

at 10/09/07 12:41AM
The prayers have been working. Brandon has had quite a struggle but He's making progress. He's still in ICU but should soon be on the regular wing of the hospital that he usually frequents. Please continue in prayer for him, he is truly a special young man. While he's been recovering in ICU he keeps asking about other Members of our congregation that have struggles of their own.

    Hello, I am a friend of Juline's. She had mentioned you had been to Australia and done the bridge climb. My hubby and I are going to New Zealand and Australia, and we leave tomorrow! I'm nervous and excited!
    I was just wondering if you could give any quick tips or "must-sees" for us before we go. Thank you so much!
    You can click from my blog to my email if you'd rather write that way--if you have the chance to.

Urgent Prayers requested!

at 10/02/07 2:09PM
A dear Friend of ours, Brandon Olson needs our prayers. He is a young man of 18 and is a faithful member of the Lord's Church. Brandon has Cystic Fybrosis which through his young life has caused many problems health wise for him. He had surgery yesterday to remove his gall bladder and repair some damage to his esophagus that has occured. The surgery was supposed to last 4-6 hrs but ended up being 10! He is very weak from the surgery and a test that will be done tomorrow will determine if he has any leakage around the repair. He will not be strong enough to endure more surgery if it has not been fixed. Please pray for him and his Family to come through this crisis so that he will once again be home with his Family and back among his church Family.
Thank you in advance for your love and concern and prayers.
God is Good!
Michelle

The Glad Game (Because I like the game and that last post is very tired)

at 02/20/07 8:23PM
As my friend Diane taught me many years ago, I will use the KISS principle for this post (Keep It Simple Sweetie!). Just post something that makes you Glad! I think that says it simply enough.

    Since no one else is doing it, I will also be materialistic and tell you that I am thankful for my purse collection, my Kitchen Aid mixer, my ever-growing collection of cookbooks, my tax return that is about to manifest itself in the form of a computer and ipod and my comfy, cozy bed!

    Aww..it was so nice to hear from you! Wow..Scotland sounds exciting! I'm sure you all had a GREAT time! And how nice that you got to take Cara along. I read her blog from time to time. She seems like such a sweet girl..I know you must be proud of her. Next time we're in Tucson I hope we can spend a little time together other than at the church building. And if you're ever in the south, let me know. Tell Ronnie there are neat things to see here...he doesn't have to go abroad to have a vacation! :) Love you too!

    I've been thinking of you! Can't believe you found my blog! I was thinking of taking a trip to Disneyland in November and I can't think of Disneyland without thinking of you! My parents are good we had a potlock over at their house yesterday. I just looked up Cara's blog. That's so cool that she went to Ireland! Hopefully you still check your blog!

    If you scroll down my photos that's Londa Riester's little girl on the left, with Sydney at the crest. Remember her? She comes out to visit when she gets too hot out there in the summer!
