i'm so happy

because grace has decided to call us today! everybody voted after church - we had to quickly rush out :) - and we got the call less than an hour ago from pastor that the vote was unanimous. we'll get the official call on call day, late next month (i'm not sure of the exact date).

on friday we're going tomball german heritage festival (from march 26-29), which my dad started in 2001 with only about 20 people. now it's so much bigger, with several towns and it grows every year (last year it was about 35,000). it's basically a "german" (if you know what i mean! :o]) fair. my dad usually comes for it so he can do a service in german and english, but this year the whole family is coming. it will be my first since 2005 when we moved away! i so excited to see my best friend and her family, and of course my grandma, but i'm also excited for tghf (the festival). i can't wait!!
