So here is the photo proof of my ordination to the priesthood on June 4, 2008. I started seminary in 1994...a marriage, two great children, changing denominations and fighting with the uber-conservative Standing Committee in Dallas (I lost, Chicago won...) here we are!

Now my sweet husband has been exposed to whole new ways of approaching life and he will never be the same. He had lived within 40 miles of where he was born until we moved to Chicago and lived in seminary housing for three months, then the HUGE new rectory in Glen Ellyn. Now he knows that grown adults with children swap out old lives for new ones, moving great distances and taking out loans to follow where God calls. Now he is open to living just about anywhere as long as it is not a compact big city (New York is out, Denver is okay) and not too warm. (He always hated summers in Dallas.) So the adventure continues and just gets better and better. He has quit his job and is attending school and being the house-husband. What next God?
