My sweet friend, Lauren, got married this past weekend in New Orleans. It was a perfect wedding. Beautiful. Inspirational. Enjoyable. All you could want for your friends wedding!

Tiffany, Lauren, Me and Christy. Friends since 3rd grade.

Congratulations to Lauren and Matt! May God continue to bless you both and your marriage. I'm so proud to have you both in my life!

Finding Beauty

I spent an hour Sunday watching Jessica Simpson's new show. She is now traveling around the world to find what makes a woman beautiful in other countries. Not that the show was interesting but the countries were. Simp's is still in her own world. Though she means well. She is 5'4" and used to wear a size 6, which now is down to a 4. She took on lots of criticism about being a size 6 but the girl still eats. That is beauty. She also burps A LOT. Nothing wrong with those two things, in my opinion.


So here is the question: What defines beauty? We all strive for it but what are we striving for? I find beauty in the old man that smells like rat poop, though he may not feel very beautiful. I find beauty in laughter. I also find my grandmother that has pasted away, beautiful for her strength she possessed. I find beauty in George Strait because God gave the man a pretty face.

Beauty is found in so many things. May we all find it in places and people. Especially when we're not looking for it.

I've talked about Donald Miller in prior blogs. He is an author/speaker/cool guy. I named my dog after him. So he must be beautiful in some form. Check out his blog. He has challenged me to take the "What If" Challenge. I dare you to take it also. Read about it. Do it. It will bring good to your life and the ones around you.

"People grow when they are in motion."-Donald Miller
That is beauty. Grow!

Catching up...

Nancy and I went to New Orleans a few weeks ago. It was great fun. Adventure. We went to the George Strait concert one night. I do love George.














I went with the Black Bear Program Coordinator a few weeks ago to check a bear den. This was a really cool day. Unfortunately, she did not have cubs. Research was done and the bear was fine after the event. But I had to snap a picture!




















Everyone has posted snow pictures. I figured I should too. This is the only picture I could get with the pups. It was great fun playing in the snow.

2010 is the year for weddings and friends having babies. Though it is flying by fast, it has already been an eventful year. I leave in 3 days for a week in Colorado. I'll have lots to post when I return.
