i am so sure you punks have been blogging all this time without me...
just because i could not make it to the girls beach reunion does not mean (hopefully) i was kicked out of the club.
jackie, thanks for emailing me with the new blog info so now i can stay informed and keep in touch with you ladies better.
it was so fun to read all the blogs each of you has written. i love knowing what is going on (as much as you can electronically) in each of your lives. i keep track of you all through shawna as well. i have missed each of you!
so, for me, life is probably completely different than any of yours (not that any of yours looks alike) but i feel like i am totally on the opposite end of the spectrum.
single...still (so, brooke, i know how it feels for your biggest desire to go unmet...and to continue to trust God when the circumstances don't change).
31-year-old college student...or so i feel (with the 290 sq. ft. apartment with a murphy bed, a dorm refrig, mini stove, and ac unit in the window).
living in california...which is so very different in itself and from the other cultures in which you find yourself.
and i am sure i could go on but such is life.
i do love it here--in california (in pasadena which is right outside of LA so you might as well call it LA), in seminary, things being completely new, the beach a mere 1/2 hour a way, mecca of health/fitness/green/organic/etc., and my world getting bigger every day.
but like each of you, my life doesn't make sense...have no idea what i will do when i finish in december, but that is where in each of our lives we can continue to trust God (confident He knows and will work it all out).
i could write so much more but i probably should end here so you all will want to read this and subsequent blogs from your long, lost friend in southern california!
is there a beach trip in the mix? i would love to know if so.
correct me if i am wrong, but here is the scoop i got on each of you in the blogs i read...
shawna...MIA, a bit behind the technological advances in colomokee, ga.
hatchett...anna grace is precious and dean is on the way. like when? still in the 'ham?
ashley...still in NY but having a harder time being there, starting practice on your own with kids?
brooke...hard times emotionally about not having a baby, still in the 'ham, still working at kirklin?, and you/josh going episcopal?
jenn...sidney kate is growing up so quick, is that lake/pond in your vicinity (like your yard?)?, working? no i think.
jack...pregnant and in st. louis?, had so much fun seeing you in december!!
love to each of you...jb

Jen, reading what is going on during your adventure in CA makes me realize how humdrum my life is. Don't get me wrong, I love my life but it is very refreshing to read about something completely different.
To answer you questions though, Dean is due June 10th and yes we are still in Birmingham. We live in Hoover - kind of the Bluff Park area.
I pray for you often - I pray for you all often, especially in the EARLY am hours when Dean decides to break dance in my stomach - I am excited to see the next direction you will head.
love,
cgh
