Road Trip and More
The last two weeks have been what feels like one big whirlwind! It started off by going to the CBA Advance Expo in Indy for work. We went to see what books are coming out soon so we can be at the forefront in scheduling interviews with authors of new releases. We also got to see a pre-screening of Amazing Grace and The Last Sin Eater. Both movies were really good, but I'd have to say my favorite of the two was Amazing Grace. It's the story of William Wilberforce...an abolitionist in the 1800's. It was very well done and had a message worth talking about. The Last Sin Eater also has a message worth talking about, but the book by Francine Rivers captures the story better than the movie. It never fails...books are always better.After spending a few days in Indianapolis, Andy, Elissa and I took a road trip to Sumner to see Grandpa Bennett. He's quite lonely these days. We arrived on Feb 2, the 1 year anniverary of Grandma Verna's death. So, it was good we could be with Grandpa at that time. I think the best part of the trip for me was being able to put my hand on Elissa's tummy and feel the baby kicking and moving around!
You can see how much the baby is growing in the pics above! I'm excited to meet my nephew soon...he's due at the end of April.
And to finish off the weekend, I went to a Super Bowl party hosted by Karri...one of the girls in our small group. Above you'll see Christin and Michelle sporting their support for the Colts. This pic was taken after the big win, ofcourse. We had a few Bears fans at the party...but they left early...I think they saw it coming.
On another note, have you heard about the New 7 Wonders of the World? There is a campaign going right now and you can vote for the new 7 Wonders of the world at www.new7wonders.com. There is only one of the ancient 7 Wonders of the World still standing...the pyramids. You can learn all about the candidates on the above website and then vote for your favorite. They are taking votes through this summer and will announce the New7Wonders on 07.07.07. Clever, huh? I still haven't decided which of the 21 options is my favorite.
