my son matt at felger park in chicago this afternoon.

so, happy and carefree with not a care in the world...it's so educational to see things through his eyes once in a while, to re-connect with innocence....there's no drug like it in the world :)

my husband asked me how i felt about that...did i feel sad, etc..??

well, i'm definetly touched by how precious time is and how fleeting it is, and so makes me apprecitate each new milestone even more.

i was very excited about her new venture, and i can't wait to hear all about it.

i'm talking to her online right now, she's at her dad's house in new glarus, wi.

he's still a witness and she spends a great amount of summers with him.

evidently they had a deep, emotional heart to heart about religeon and jehovah's witnesses.

Elder visit after being DF'd

2. friends
has anyone ever been re-visited by the elders after being df'd or da'd for some time?

i was once in arizona about 5 years ago, fortunately i was not home, my roomate was, they asked if i was home and she said 'no', they said they were from the local congregation of jehovah's witnesses and would like to invite me back, they also asked her if she was aware that i was once associated with the witnesses and she said, 'yes, i'm very aware'....they then asked when would be a good time to get me home, she was very vague and said "i don't know really, she's training for a marathon and is very busy with school, i never really know when she's home"....they never came back, i think they got the hint, or were just too lazy to try again.

i'm sure my mother had something to do with it....her last hope i guess.

Biking for a reason...
by Evesapple in
1. social
2. physical
on june 6th i will be in tahoe doing my first century ride.

i took up biking after my baby was born, because it became difficult to keep up my running, my gait was a little off and i kept suffering injury after injury.

i felt the best way to really put my all into a new sport was to join a team.
