Ed's 30th Birthday Fiesta

There’s something amazing about dropping a stone into a body of water. First the soothing sound of the stone breaking the barrier between air and water, then the seismic waves that follow. I suppose it’s nature imitating life.There are certain people whose life is a smooth stone—refined by generosity, grace, and kindness—who make ripples. These ripples are felt by those who surround the stone and whose lives will be forever changed.

Ed's is a stone whose ripples continually resonate(evident, by the presence of wonderful friends joining him celebrate his 30th birthday). I am honored to be his wife and to have shared in his big day.

A true southern welcome, lunch at Mary Mac's. He had his first taste of sweet tea---the red wine of the south.

SuperBowl XLI and an announcement

Denny & Kara invited us over to their house for a Superbowl Party and a SPECIAL announcement...They are expecting!!! We are so happy to hear the news. Can't wait for the lil one to arrive. Congratulations Denny & Kara! Here's a picture of the guys cheering for the new addition to the Reding family.

Let's Go Thrashers!!!

It's been a while since we've been to a Thrashers game. I forgot how fun it is! Mike, Denson, Ed and I went to the New Jersey Devils/Thrashers game last Tuesday. I'm glad that inspite of a hectic work schedule and feeling a bit under the weather, we decided to go. The adrenaline kicked in and there I was screaming and cheering!

The game went into overtime and it was neat to see a shoot-out. The Thrashers edged the New Jersey Devil 5-4. It felt like I was watching the "sudden death" scene from Dodge Ball:) I might get me a Blueland scarf. Aside from looking comfy, they are quite trendy. I'm hoping to wear it to the Playoffs(wishful thinking?)
