New Beginning

I'm going to start posting again.

We're getting married!

Yes, friends, it's finally happened... Ben and I are engaged!
See our website for more info, and check back often as we will be updating it frequently considering our wedding is planned for February 23, 2007.
WOOOO HOOOO!!!

Life, Love and the pursuit of Laughter

What a great Thanksgiving... Ry came home, the Christmas decs went up, and I actually got to sleep off this pnumonia and broken ribs. Yes, broken ribs. From coughing. As an old friend Katie Early said, "Geeze Anna, you're even an over-achiever in coughing!"
Perhaps the most memorable part of the weekend was spending time on Friday night with my family and Ben playing cards. I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard, and the pain was worth it. Silly quotes and phrases, some too... errrr... crude to repeat, but hilarious none the less.
I'm going to try and be better about updating for all 4 of you that read this...
Maybe I'll put some pictures up later.

I recognize that I suck at updating my blog. I'm working on it.
So here is an update.
This Saturday is the final round of tryouts for the Rush, and it is open to the public. Yes, that means you. So if you are bored and looking for a good time, come and cheer me on at Excalibur in downtown Chi-town. Click here for more info.
Please come. I need the encouragement.
Ok, so there is an update.

I just finished watching a documentary on 9/11... it was actually an accidental documentary that had footage from inside the buildings, from a Firefighter's perspective. It messed with me. In the middle of the second tower coming down, we (my Mom, Ben, Craig and I) heard a crash come from the basement where my Dad had been working. My Mom ran downstairs and then moments later, came up following my Dad who had a big, bloody towel on his chin. Timing is everything I guess. He was cleaning the spa when the little deck around it collapsed and he jarred his chin on the part that, well, didn't. Off to the ER they went, most likely to get stitches and make sure he doesn't have a concusion.

My heart is wrecked right now. I've realized that being sick makes you incredibly lonely and sad, and now allowing myself to process (yet again) 9/11 and think about where our world is at since then... so much to take in.

I find myself, when I get overwhelmed by the disarray of the world, begging God to let me see monuments in my life; to allow me to live to see my wedding day, to have babies, to see my babies marry... God, I'm not ready to die yet. Just FYI.

Lizzie's Wedding!!!

My best friend got married and what an event it was! From planning the American wedding (they were married in Africa a week earlier) in two weeks to running inside to complete the ceremony when it started raining, it truly was a gift to have been a part of. I love you Liz!
