My guitar

When we were in Thailand for the birth of Caleb, Mike decided to buy me a guitar for our anniversary. Up to this point I had been trying to learn to play, but hadn't been that great at it, and it was hard not having a guitar to practice on. So, he bought me a nice one. I wondered if maybe we were crazy buying a guitar right before we were going to have a baby and all the responsibilities that comes with, but it has actually been a good thing.
It has taken me a long time though, because I realize that Caleb is going to be 3 this June, but I think I can actually say that I can play the guitar now. Wow! Of course I am not that great and can still only play a few chords, but have actually mastered a few worship songs. I will have to post me playing one sometime. But, I thought I would just share my accomplishment with you all. And, thanks to those of you who helped me throughout the time. Especially Howard, who gave me a few lessons and sent me lots of songs. I remember our first lesson when you sat me down and said you would only teach me if I was serious about learning, and I gave you my word. Well, I remembered telling you that, so in a way that kept me accountable. Thanks!

Not much going on here at home. Just kids going crazy around me. Boys doing homework and eating us out of the house, and always envying what the pregnant lady gets to eat. Still feeling good, although nauseous of the smell of rice and dalh, the one thing that everyone eats at every meal. Oh praise, we can get eggs in town now! yippee! So I have been eating lots of egg sandwiches while everyone else eats the dreaded dalh and rice. I think we can actually get chicken in town too, although we have yet to get some.

That is so awesome. Maybe you could learn how to play "indescribable" so Caleb could sing along. You are gifted girl!
