Please go see Fireproof...

I went to see Fireproof last night with a group of ladies from church, and Jared and I are going to see it again tonight. This movie has a wonderful story, and I'm convinced that God is going to use it in a mighty way in many, many marriages. Here's a link to an interview with the Kendrick brothers on Family Life Today.

Jon & Kate visit the Ham

This past Thursday, Rachel and I went to the BJCC along with the greatest babysitter in the world, Anna, for the Southern Women's Show. I wouldn't normally get into something like this, but Jon & Kate Gosselin were there this year, so I just had to go. If you've never seen Jon & Kate Plus 8, you really should check it out. I just love watching all their crazy adventures. Their life really makes mine seem a lot less stressful.
This is the closest we could get to the stage, and I zoomed the camera in as far as I could to get this shot. It really was ridiculous. I don't think that they thought there would be as much craziness as there was that day. After maybe five minutes, Anna & I decided to just head over to the autograph line instead. This was a great plan as we were very close to the front of the line and just ate lunch and chatted while we waited.



There were some pretty strict rules for the "celebrity autograph" line. You could only have one autograph per person, and there were no pose pictures. I guess this was all in an effort to keep the LONG line moving. Two people tried to talk us into getting in front of us, and one lady even offered money!

Rachel's favorite part of the whole day was throwing pennies into this fountain outside the BJCC. She probably would have been more into it had the children been along.
