Sue's shoulder hurts

Somehow or another she has gotten a pain in her left shoulder that has her all messed up. She's going to the chiropractor, rubbing mineral ice and other things on it, and icing it down in between everything. We think that she slept on it wrong but just don't know. I'm giving her backrubs to try to help, but we'll all be glad when she's feeling better...

UPDATE: It took about 10 days but it feels fine now. She's been doing great ever since!

Sue's making earrings

Sue has started making earrings. She bought a whole bunch of beads,
wire things, and other paraphenalia and starting making stuff. She's
been selling some of it, and enjoys the creativity it allows her to
express. Last night she took my advice and started making cards with
holes to present the earrings in a more pleasing manner. Way to go,
Sue!

Sue starts "The Point of Prayer" blog

Sue is helping "lead" the prayer team at our church and asked me to set up a page where she could share prayer requests and such on the church's website. I did, and as soon as she saw that she asked if I could set up a blog for her to share her thoughts and ideas on what prayer is and what the Lord was doing in her life because of it. I set that up and she is starting to post to it, which is cool. You can view it at http://www.harvestpointonline.com/prayer/thepointofprayer.php. Go, Sue, go!

Sue's new haircut

Sue finally got tired of having her hair in her face "all the time" and got it cut. It's not too short, it's just right, and she looks really cute. People keep telling her that it's "really you". I like it!

Sue to interpret play at Georgia Tech

One of Sue's friends asked her to take a job interpreting a play at Georgia Tech this month. It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun for her, and she will actually get paid for it, too! Good job, Sue!

Sue interpretes Right to Life rally

Sue got to interpret at the Right to Life rally again this year. She enjoys giving her time to the cause, and has done so for about 5 years now. Her and her friend Sue Hardy went and prayed, then interpreted some of the speakers, and then came home. Good job, Sue!

Sue is in St. Mary's, GA, visiting her friend Cathleen during the holidays. It's kind of a weird time to go, but we couldn't find any other time for this to happen. Hopefully she is having lots of fun being with her friend and bumming around a beach town - tough duty, I know, but someone's got to do it :-)

Sue's tomato "garden"

Sue grew some tomato plants on our deck over the summer trying to show Stephen and Kevin how it's done. She's got two or three little tomatos on them, and I think they're going to make it to ripeness, but it's hard to tell. Maybe I'll let her use part of the yard next year...

Sue dedicates Prayer Room and church

Somehow from a conversation with our pastor about a place to pray Sue came up with a Prayer Room at church. She did really well translating the ideas into a reality, and got help from several people to set thing up, paint it, get a couch and prayer bench, and other things to fill it with comforts and aids. She got up in front of the church this past Sunday and told everyone about it, and the room is "open for business" now. Way to go, Sue!

Sue enjoys vacation

She's having a good time just relaxing at the beach with me now that the
kids are with their grandparents. She took me to Amelia Island (where
we were going to honeymoon when we got married), and today is just
chilling on the beach and at the condo. Fun, fun!

Sue interprets the Atlanta Passion Play

This has practically become a tradition for Sue. She's been able to interpret parts of the Atlanta Passion Play now for 4 or 5 years; this year she got to interpret the final scenes, which is a change for her. If you ever get the chance to go to the Atlanta Passion Play please go -- it's a great experience!

Sue coaches soccer now :-)

Sue is the assistant coach for Stephen's team at the church soccer league he and Kevin are playing in this spring. She has ended up being the only coach there two Saturdays in a row so far, so we are wondering if she is going to end up being the head coach of the team. Pretty funny, considering she's never done this before and is just learning all the in's and out's of the rules of soccer and the way the church league plays! Way to go, Sue!

Women's Breakfast went well

Sue had a "Women's Breakfast" for the women at our church today. She had it our house, and it was small - only three women came, but thay had a good time. They decided that they want to do it again, and may even have one every other Friday! We'll see how that goes...

Quick trip to FL

Sue had the sad duty to make a quick run to Florida for a memorial
service this past weekend. Her sister-in-law's sister, Susan McQuitty,
died from cancer last week. She had suffered for a long time, and Sue
felt led to go and pay her respects, show support for our family, and be
there for Mark and Mary.

The service went well, and Sue made it home safe and sound.

Date Night

Sue and I had a good "date night" tonight. We left Jacob in charge at
home and had a delicious dinner at O'Charley's, then went to see the
movie "Firewall". It was a good flick, though a little intense for
Sue's taste :-) We got home at 9:30pm, which was good since I had been
up since 4:30am!

What a great date night!

Working at ACC part-time

Sue has taken a part-time job interpreting for a student at the Atlanta Christian College. She wanted to do this to keep her skills up and earn a little money for us to travel with. She has substitute-interpreted there for the past 6 months or so, and is enjoying the challenging classes the student is taking (philosophy and something else).

Sue goes to St. Mary's

Sue took a short break from everything to go and see her friend Cathleen
in St. Mary's, Georgia. Cathleen used to live in McDonough but moved to St. Mary's last year (or was two years ago?) when her husband got a new
job. Sue and Cathleen are having a good time Cmas shopping, doing creative stuff, and catching up on what's been happening. Have fun, Sue!

Freelancing, mothering, and volunteering

Sue has had some opportunities to do some interpreting assignments, and has enjoyed getting out and honing her skills. The kids are keeping us both hopping with all the things they've got going on (scouts, gymnastics, soccer, church, and friends :-), but Sue stays on top of it most of the time.

Sue took the kids to the local church that is the central point for Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts here in Henry County. They helped guide people to the different parts of the church they needed to go and helped move some stuff around. It was a good experince for her and the kids.

Sue's doing great!

Full-speed ahead!

Sue didn't wait much at all after getting home from Alaska to get back
up to full-speed. She had some jet-lag until Monday, but then got right
back to her busy schedule, even helping a friend take some dinner to a
family in our church.

We had a good time going to see the Fantastic Four movie with some
friends from church last night, and today she is taking Jacob, two or
three of his friends, and Megan to High Falls State Park to hike, swim,
and picnic. Go, Sue, go!

Good trip to FL

Sue had a good trip to FL this past week. She went down there to take
Jacob and Megan to stay with their grandparents and ended up spending
nearly a week down there. She got to see Paree on her 85th birthday
(great timing!), spend the night with Victoria and Jason, go to Daytona
Beach with Karen, visit with Melody Long (a friend from long ago), and
visit her mom at Penney Farms. That was a lot of driving for her, but
she had a good time.
