They were there so Nana could spend some time with her sister Gladys. This was to be their last time together since both of them were getting to be too old to travel. It was sad over hearing them say good-bye. I promptly requested that Jenna and I commit to live together after her 80th birthday. Derek says what will be funny is when him and Trey outlive us and they go off to live in Mexico together as old men. For now Jenna and I have decided to either move to Cape Town or Costa Rico (considering the healthcare needs we have) or we will couch surf our children and niece/nephew's homes. <br />
<br />
Sounds like a plan.<br />

It was such a great visit. We did a lot of touristy stuff. Becky and Phil with Sidnie watched the girls for us so we could all go out for a big sushi dinner and some honky tonking. One night Derek stayed with so I and Jenna and Trey could go to see Don Williams. The next night Derek and them went to the Grand 'ole Opry. On Sunday we spent the afternoon with the Eli's carving pumpkins and teaching Sidnie how to throw a temper tantrum. <br />
<br />
We did a lot of eating out and touring around, but there is still much left to do and see together so I guess they will have to come back the end of each Summer!<br />
<br />
Montana is such a funny monkey and Harlee is the sweetest cuddle bug ever.<br />

They decided to hold their own show on July 26th and it had a great turn out. I was so proud of all the hard work they put in and in Derek's commitment to his belief that art should be an element in society that fosters conversation and connection across socioeconomic, racial and religious lines.<br />

I am trying to harvest gratitude and patience in my heart, knowing that everything will work out and that the freedom we have right now should be enjoyed and celebrated. Derek is doing a lot of painting (see new pieces below) and is showing his work at the O'Gallery in Nashville as well at several upcoming shows. Very exciting. Additionally he is bartending at a local place a few nights and doing odd house painting jobs for Brooke's company to keep the bank account somewhat satisfied and is being considered for a Grant Writing position. He has so many talents and I am so proud to be his wife. I am lucky that he is being so patient as I continue to hunt down that dream job.<br />

<br />
The hunt is starting to wear me out. I have had several good interviews with organizations I would be happy to work for, but have not landed that full-time job yet. I am in the thick of it with Technoserve right now and trying to find that sweet spot where hope and acceptance intersect. I am doing consulting work for the Phakamani Foundation and the Community Development Center and started working part-time at Nashville Public Televison in April. I am being considered for a few board positions,volunteering for Junior Achievement and trying to keep options for Nashville open while still keeping my eyes on the future and my dreams. It is tricky. I get dizzy sometimes. <br />
<br />
Some other stuff....<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Define Yourself continues to grow. Jenna is a super busy lady now, but when I speak to her I can tell she is very content and happy. I am proud of her. </li>
<li>Anna Rose and Eli have been very busy with baseball. </li>
<li>Jim is embarking on a big change. He has decided to return to work for Pizza Hut which will allow him the flexibility he needs to..... START SCHOOL in the Fall. I am so proud and excited! </li>
<li>Brooke and Jason bought a new house!</li>
<li>We have begun to plan for our own art show called Home Grown for July</li>
</ol>
<br />
Here are some pictures of Spring:<br />

Anna turned eight on the 18th. We celebrated as a family and later she had a slumber party. Derek, Becky and I also took her to play put-put golf after school. <br />
<br />
Anna is such a funny girl. I often forget she is only eight - she is old beyond her years. A frequent topic of conversation is how much of a handful she will be when she becomes a teenager. I am excited to watch as she continues to grow into a funny, caring and smart woman!<br />

It was, in fact, very extreme and a lot of fun. It included three soapy slip-and-slides, several fear-of-height-facing challenges, mud sloshing and a 35lb sack of sand.<br />
<br />
It took us a little more than an hour to finish the 3 miles, but that was due to traffic jams at challenges. Of the 16 obstacles we did all but one (it was a rope with no knots that needed to be climbed) and at the one we chose to skip, we had to do 20 burpees!<br />

I also had a promising interview with Abt Associates.<br />
<br />
Anyways, since my mom and Nana were coming to AZ to paint my mom's new house and because Jenna was opening Define Yourself, LLC on the 1st and seeing as how much I miss Tana and Harlee and like seeing my siblings, I decided at the last minute to fly out. The plan was to arrive an hour or so before my mom and Nana got in from MN and surprise Nana at the gate. Well, due to complications caused solely by US Airways, I missed my connecting flight and so was not able to arrive until after everyone was set to be at dinner. I called Trey and he prepared to come fetch me on the sly. A few moments before my flight was to land he excused himself to go to the bathroom but then snuck out the door and came to the airport (they were at a restaurant only 10 minutes away)! Just when they were beginning to seriously worry (Jenna even wondered out-loud if he had taken his gun into the bathroom), we returned and I was able to surprise most of them.<br />
<br />
At Easter Uncle Gary and Orlean, Nana, Lynda Carey, Lori and Brian and their four kids, Brent and Stephanie and their three kids along with the Colburns and Jim were all together. I got to spend a little time with Camila, Jackie, Josie and Cortney too and the weather was amazing. I was almost fooled by it: Arizona in the Spring is wonderful, but it only lasts for a few weeks. It was a great trip. Her are some snap shots:<br />

For the longest time Jen and Trey have talked about having a piece of land with animals and opening a gym - in the time since Christmas 2012 they have accomplished both. I am so proud of them for building such a great life for them and my super cute nieces. Spend time with Tana and Harlee and it obvious they are free and happy little girls.<br />
<br />
When I was preparing to return from South Africa Jenna sent me an email that warmed my heart. So much so that I kept it in my inbox to this day and read it every couple of weeks. In it she talked about how she was proud of me. <i><br /></i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>I look forward to you teaching
my kids to have passion for something and for that passion to turn to
movement. A movement that one cannot stop and that can move
mountains. </i></blockquote>
<br />
I feel the same way about her - she has done something huge by starting her own business that will allow her to provide the kind of lifestyle her and Trey want for themselves and their kids. I have no doubt that Define Yourself will be successful and am so happy they have built a life to be proud of out in San Tan Valley!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b>You Are My Sky</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Under which, even in the distant lands, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your sun provides nourishment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my sea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon the tide of sweet song</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drift to the shore of surrender.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your beauties continuously </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shower my eyes like rain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To soak up your energy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fills my heart with wonder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your devotion gives me hope</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is still purity in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your will is good and strong,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it gives me faith of better days to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have no fear my adored one;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the place we seek is not far off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The journey will fortify our love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no other I want by my side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To have you in my life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is to be truly blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To hold you in my arms</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
renews me like eternal springs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my light,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I am never in darkness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my destination,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I never tire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my breath</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without which I would gasp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without which I would die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are my sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What a very lucky woman I am to have such a partner and how relevant that we would travel so far together and truly become each other's homes!</div>

You know fight the man and all that! Well this year I decided to do a count down to Valentines Day and I am pretty proud of myself. Derek said "it is about time you do something thoughtful!"<br />
<br />
So here is the run down of what I did.....<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Goat cheese: "I know it is cheesy, but we are going to do a count down to Valentines Day!</li>
<li>Thai Red Curry Sauce: "You're Hot!"</li>
<li>Gold Fish: "Out of all the fish in the sea am glad we found each other!"</li>
<li>Ginger Green Tea: "Just thinking about you warms my heart."</li>
<li>Apple Chips: "You are the apple of my eye."</li>
<li>Yogurt covered raisins: "Feel like raisin' some hell?"</li>
<li>Some spicy pickles: "I am pickled to death to be your wife!"</li>
<li>Bear Naked brand Granola: you know.......</li>
<li>Iced Outmeal Cookies (Derek's favorite): "You're Sweet!"</li>
<li>Jelly Bellies: "Everyday with you is a surprise adventure."</li>
<li>Strewberries: "I love you berry much."</li>
<li>Nut mix: "You drive me nuts...in the good way."</li>
<li>A Cliff Bar: "I would jump off a cliff if I lost you."</li>
<li>Gum: "I am stuck on you."</li>
<li>Soy Sauce: "You make me soy happy."</li>
<li>Altoids: "You're cool."</li>
</ul>
I modified it from that candy version - you know the one that says "I
love you to pieces" and uses a bag of Reese's pieces??? Well, we are such
little hipsters so I had to change it to be original!<br />
<ul>
</ul>

Derek's cousin, Trevor and his girlfriend, Kaitlyn, and their baby, Sidnie, have been staying with Becky and Phil for the past seven months. They moved out this last weekend into their own place in Gallatin. We will really miss Sidnie - Becky especially! Her full name is not Sidnie Lou, but she is such a little mouse of a baby with the funniest personality that it is not uncommon to feel compelled to call her that!</div>
