A New Post - Finally!

If you've read Lauren's facebook, you know that she has a new interest. His name is Dan. They have become an item. Of course, Greg did his Dad responsibility and had his talk with Dan before they could go out alone. We have known Dan and his family for quite awhile. Hordes of his family go to our church so we know the family well. He graduated with Nathaniel and has been to our house numerous times. Who would have ever thought he would be coming to get Lauren?!
We had a great time at our monthly growth group in February. The Deal's hosted a murder mystery party that was set in the 1880's. We all dressed up for our parts and had great food, fellowship, and fun. This picture highlights all the pastors at FairCreek except for the Bieri's who were on vacation. What a great pastoral team!! (And yes, we can have fun and even pretend to be less than respectable people. I must say that we all played our parts well - I guess from experience!)
Becky - an author and the official murderer which we found out at the end of the game. In real life, Becky would be the absolute last suspect because she is a wonderful mother of three and a great wife and support to Rob.
Mike - a newspaper reporter (aka our Worship Pastor)
JoAnn - the School Teacher (aka a real teacher and wife to Mike)
Me - a Sharpshooter (aka Greg's wife and best supporter)
Sharon - the town doctor (aka Jim's wife and terrific helper)
Greg - the Mayor (aka our Senior Pastor and wonderful husband to me!)
Rob - the Village Blacksmith (aka our Pastor of Children and Families and Missions)
Jennifer - the Saloon Keeper (aka wife to Aaron and mother of 4)
Aaron - the banker (aka our Pastor of Administration and Connections) He was a great host.
Jim - the Indian Chief (aka our Pastor of Seniors) He was very good in his role!
Kim had her wedding shower two weeks ago. Lauren, Jacqui, and I went to Jenera, Ohio, to Kim's church. We only got lost twice and were 20 minutes late - not good for the mother of the groom. We had a good time and the food was great. Kim has a lot of relatives!
Kim likes to open presents and she sure had a lot to open at her wedding shower. I think they have enough to get them started. Nathaniel got his coffee maker and coffee grinder. It doesn't take a lot to make him happy!


The Blizzard of '08 - we are NOT happy.
For people who don't like snow, winter, or cold weather, we are living in the wrong place! We are pretending that this isn't really happening. It has been snowing since 8am yesterday. We have been under a blizzard warning since yesterday afternoon. It is supposed to stop today around 4pm. We already have about 14 inches. Enough already!

You guys should move to Va Beach--we only get a dusting of snow from time to time. But, you would think it was a blizzard-they close everything down and put "winter storm warnings" all over the news! I can't wait to see everyone next month.

I think you would be a great sharpshooter Aunt Sharlene!! Love the cow chaps. Looks like Nathaniel and Kim got a lot of stuff. Sorry I missed the fun, but we are looking forward to the wedding! Love,
The Thackers

I am so glad to see a new post. I was so afraid I was going to have to report you to the blogging police, but thank goodness I didn't have to do that. I know you guys are busy. It seems like the only blogs I have had lately are birthdays!! We are all getting excited for the wedding. I got Jacob, Joel and Eli - "Dance,Dance, Revolution" for their Wii for Easter so they can practice (who would have ever thought !!) See you guys soon!! Marlene

Sharlene, Mom would love your "cow" pants. We were hoping for one big snow this winter so the boys could play outside,but you got it instead. See you all soon!! Marlene
