A little more about me
I am....
wife of Dennis, my sweet love - the kindest, gentlest, funniest, smartest man I've ever known and EXACTLY the man for whom I prayed (and not at all who I thought I wanted but thankfully, God is wiser than I);
mother of Annalivia '05, Daniel '07, Emmeliese '09, Peter '10, and Elora (born into the arms of Jesus '13) the hearts of my own heart, joys of my life, far more than I ever prayed for because my mind could never conceive of such wonderfully intricate and delightful little beings;
granddaughter of grandparents who taught me to love fiercely and forgive freely and that it is better to be respectful rather than proved right and grateful rather than gratified;
daughter of two amazing people who have devoted themselves to their children and family and have continued to figure out ways to love each other;
sister of three incredibly intelligent, clever, imaginative, zany younger sisters, my best friends, who are crazy enough to keep coming back, even though I do all sorts of things to drive them nuts;
friend of some hilarious people from kindergarten, grade school, high school, college, seminary and beyond;
former pastor learning the joys and challenges of being called to be home full-time-ish while volunteer-teaching at a teeny classical school;
pilgrim bumbling forward on this amazingly glorious journey towards Home.

Oh, Maaaarge . . .
April, I MUST ask - do you know who Dawn French is? Today the kids were watching Narnia (again) :) and Mrs Beaver was talking. I kept thinking, "She sounds so familiar." Finally I realized who she sounded like - YOU! Then I just laughed at my own stupidity. So, my dear April, in my mind, you sound just like her. (Too much British comedy, ya think?) :) Just had to share my pathetic state -
Dawn...
I not only know Dawn French, I ADORE her!! Vicar of Dibley is one of my all-time favorite shows, and though it probably sounds just ridiculously heathenist, was SUCH a huge help when I was suffering culture shock in my first year of ministry here. I love, love, love her and THAT, my friend, is such a HUGE compliment. I'll try to avoid ever letting you hear my real voice!! :)
Oh I'm SO relieved you weren't offended. I just LOVE her in VoD. I just ALWAYS want to have her in for dinner. LOL (Ok, except for the time she was in the bathroom in her slippers, et al - with the guys all hanging out in the kitchen.)
I'm sad to think you'll avoid letting me hear your real voice, but it won't matter any way. Even if I did hear you and you didn't sound like her, your WORDS are like her, so I'd just figure you had a sore throat or some such. (There are such GRAND advantages to being blond and over 40) ;) ;) :D
it really is one aspect of my continued striving to live. long live the queen. (or the remembrance of her, or he heirs, or any other royaly that are able to allow us yankees to appreciate thier bit.
JES, iv. esq.
