Milestones

Merry Christmas, everyone!


After 4 days of constant choir rehearsals and 3 services, we spent today at home just hanging out and getting ready for our trip to Portland tomorrow.


It's been a year of big milestones for my friends and family. In November, Eric had his 40th birthday, which we were sad to miss out on. We'll get to see him and Rusty in just a couple of days, though, as they're coming up to Portland as well.


Darcy had a baby on Dec. 18, a healthy boy named Benjamin Neal Lewellen. It sounds like she, David and little Ben are doing fabulously at home now.


On Dec. 20 Paul turned 50. He didn't want a big party, so I baked him his favorite oatmeal raisin cookies, which he loves more than any cake, and took him out for a nice dinner. I wrote out a list for him called 50 Things I Love About You. I could think of 35 separate things pretty quickly, but those last 15 took a bit more effort.


Just last Friday I finally heard from Dietrich, whom I haven't seen for 5 years. He just got married on the 15th, and he and his wife Lisa are in Portland right now. We've known each other for over 30 years, so it will be great to see them when we're out there. He emailed me a couple of pics from their wedding:
