We love the Chattanooga Curriculum Fair! Our family always has the best time! The people there are just extra friendly and it makes it such fun!

My kids' blogs tell the story in their own words of their exciting weekend, but the highlight for me was definitely seeing my friend Jennie and her family. Jennie was a tremendous influence on my life when I was in college, so much so that in my new book, Get Real!, I encourage girls to pray "Jennie's Prayer." When the book is released I will post more about Jennie and her amazing walk with the Lord. Jennie lives near Chat. and this year I got to see her for an extended amount of time as we shared dinner and then dessert at her lovely home. It's always cool to be around someone who has known you for many years. The friendship itself provides a perspective that newer, more recent friendships will not.

Jennie enjoyed sharing with my kids a view of me that they really don't get to see all that much--I pulled a few pranks in college and Jennie was the recipient more than once. :) It's good to get to with old friends and remember where you came from--and look at how far you've come--and rejoice that the Lord has held you in His hand all the way.

Jennie, I love you! You made a huge difference in my life, and I am so thankful the Lord planned for our paths to cross.

Hi Mrs. Powell. Yes, my mom got the e-mail last night. I didn't think we'd be able to go because Danya's gone and I wouldn't be able get directions. But my parents are still talking about whether we can still go. Anyway, thank you for the directions. Maybe, if we can come, I'll be able to meet you and your family in person. Bye.

Hi Mrs. Powell. I'm sorry but it doesn't look like my family and I will be able to come. My parents are tired plus it is a little bit of a drive. If you get this before you leave please tell Danya I'm sorry. Thank you. Maybe another time. Bye.
