Hello! I'm at my grandparents house with some of my gorgeous and extremely fantabulous (yes, that's a word!) cousins. We had a good time playing "Mafia", "Spoons" (and hanging spoons on our noses, except for me because my nose is flat and short), and "Gotcha." Now, here is a discussion about my cousin Jennifer's future career.

Alisa: Jennifer will be the next Britney Speares
Melinda: She will be an award winning singing prison guard in Alcatraz.
Rachel: she will be an undefeatable Fear Factor champion
Shannon: Jen will be a professional whittler of oars for Venetian gondolas.
Marti: After visiting Italy with her sister Shannon, Jen will be the official person who holds up the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Kim: Coming soon
Jen: I will be.... I will be... I will be... the future wife of the Prince of Italy (of course he doesn't exist, but we are all praying really hard right now that God will change this situation) who I met in Boboli Gardens while taking a picture of a flying dead squirrel eating fried zucchinni. After our encounter, we were married in front of a famous fountain eating chocolate gelato.

Oh, I am soooooo happy! You might have heard me talk about Lori quite often, but I wanted to rejoice and announce that she is pregnant! Actually, she's been pregnant for some time but I didn't have a recent picture of her to post. Now, the wait is over. Here is a picture of Lori and me when we saw each other in November. I feel so blessed to see what God is doing in the lives of Lori and her husband, Jeremiah!
