Why "Masker"?

My photo
Northern Virginia, United States
In college, I was a member of a sorority that was known as Maskers. There were 11 of us girls, all juniors, and 11 seniors. I was the 1997-1998 Masker #7. It was a highlight of my college years and I have used it for computer user ids since then. In the 10 years that have followed, however, I am learning the value of taking off the fake "Mask" and being true and authentic with myself and others. THAT is the purpose of my blog.

The Evangelist named Mom!

I had the honor of going to a luncheon today where my Mom presented the gospel to a group of 75 plus women (and a few men--mostly husbands of the women members). It was so cool to see my dear precious mom exercising her spiritual gift so obediently (okay, so I'm not sure if her gift is actually evangelism, but it SURE was for the hour that she spoke today!)!



I love my Daddy (who cares if I'm almost 32...he'll always be my Daddy!)

The girls after lunch...notice what good sisters we are---we both have black and white on and didn't even coordinate before hand!

We're Home Again

A few pictures from our journeys:


Simon and Cassie taking a nap in their 'car seats'






Cassie wasn't ready to smile when the auto-timer snapped our picture with Aunt Debbie and her son Austin



Calla, Cassie and Gus in Atlanta




We girls all pose with our maternal Grandmother Keenan

Cassie and me in between 2 of our favorite Bryants, Aunt Judy and her son Trey!

My baby at the W for the first time! Somehow I don't think she gathered the significance of being on my old campus! Maybe she'll appreciate it more next year (ha!).
