6 Years and A Day

Yesterday was Sarah and my 6 year anniversary. We had someone come over to watch Benjamin so we could go out for a while. We went to the Shaker Village just north of Harrodsburg, KY (http://www.shakervillageky.org/) to eat at the restaurant and walk around the grounds. The food, service, and ambiance were all just right. We had been there once before when we were first dating at Asbury so it was nice to reminisce a little. After dinner we ... or rather I ... decided that since Sarah likes Christmas lights that we would go to the Kentucky Horse Park to see their Christmas light display (http://www.kyhorsepark.com/khp/holiday/). It sounded like a great idea but when we arrived there was a large line of people who had the same idea. We decided to go ahead a wait because the line of traffic was moving at a decent pace and we could see ... at a reasonable... distance the entrance to the park. As we proceeded we discovered that the organizers had looped the traffic about a mile down the road ... by this time were stuck in a very long line of cars. So exactly an hour after we entered the line of cars ... we actually entered the park. Then it was another 40 minutes before we were able to exit and return to Berea to relieve our baby-sitter now that we were well over an hour delayed.

This morning Sarah woke up feeling bad. She hadn't slept well and felt rather nauseated. This has not been a normal part of this pregnancy so I knew something wasn't right. To top things off she was scheduled to sing in the church Christmas program for 2 church services and also to sing a solo during each service. She suffered through the first service... came home and rested for 30-40 minutes and then returned to church. She did a great job during the second service but was ready to return home right afterwards and has been in the bed ever since. I was proud that she was singing in the choir and taking on the solo ... but am very proud that she mustered up the little energy she had remaining to sing this morning.

If you haven't kept up with Isaac Clardy's Christmas Train Project you should really check out these two links. It was a great success.
