Almost Paradise...

Here's a picture of me, Brian, Mindy, Joel, and Julie in our cabin "Almost Paradise" from a quick jaunt to Gatlinburg a little less than a month ago. It was truly beautiful and we had a great time kicking back, shopping, playing games, watching MacGyver with no sound and creating our own dialogue, doing an old time photo, "ho-tubbing," you know... normal stuff. awww... I wanna go back! Jules, where are the other pics? :)

Heavy Heart

Our dear friends, Jason and Kim Gallman are traveling a rough road. Jason was diagnosed yesterday with a tumor in his intestinal tract the size of a fist. He is 37; they have 3 kids (5th grade, 2nd grade, K). Please pray for them.

You know it's springtime on campus when...

If anyone out there is still reading my blog, post a thought or two in the comments on this one. A lot of you either currently work on or near a college campus (or have in the recent past). I thought it would be fun to gather some thoughts of college life signs of spring. Here are a few to get you going.

You know it's springtime on campus when:

• The hotdog vendor is set up on the sidewalk
• You see more capri pants (especially those with thongs near the top eewwww.... I promise I'm not looking but it's like a train wreck).
• Students in flip flops
• People eating outside

Incredibly Infrequent

Now is the time in my blog where I say I hope to be better at posting here blah blah blah...

Anyway, sometimes life just gets in the way and you realize it's been 3,4 months since you've posted last and then the thought of posting just depresses you since there's way too much ground to cover. I think I'll launch through a series of pictures in the next few days to catch you up on life with the Lowes.

Here are a few pics from the wedding that Brian and Anna were in in March. Our dear friends Brent and Meagan (Brent was a student of mine when I worked at GUMC) got married. Brian was honored to be the Best Man and Anna did a terrific job as the flower girl.
