Froelich's Frolics

Disclaimer: The author of this blog is on cold medication, so please excuse any jumbled thoughts. Thank you. Now that we have that out of the way, I will just say this post may be a mixed up mess of thoughts. Welcome to my mind.... Sometimes (or more likely, almost all the time) I seriously think I have ADD. I jump from one thing to another, it is CRAZY. I woke up this morning without the migraine that had bothered me for two whole days. I thank the Lord for giving me a touch. If you have never had migraines, please send a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord now...you are truly blessed. Migraines are terrible....did I mention that they are terrible? Well, I did not have a headache, and I was so glad. I did have a little bit of a sore throat though. I didn't really think anything of it. Well, by lunch time, the sore throat was bothering me more than just a little. By the afternoon, I knew I had a fever. I was hot and I was freezing at the same time. I stayed up in my office as much a...

I am loving the weather we have had this week. Tuesday evening, I took a 20 minute walk in the neighborhood when I got home from work. It was so nice...the walk and the weather was wonderful. Yesterday afternoon and evening, we had some rain and some thunderstorms. Carl was kept pretty busy at work, checking on the storm situation. He works in Weather Observation at the Indianapolis Airport. He gets paid to watch the weather...how cool is that? I love the smell of rain, and I love to watch a good storm roll in. Then today, I took another 20 minute walk around the neighborhood when I got home from work. The wind made things a little chilly, but it was a good walk. Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, but it is supposed to be colder, only in the 40s, so I may not go for a walk. I guess I will have to do some indoor exercising. I am trying to make myself do some kind of exercise every day. I have a dress that I need to fit into in a couple of months... I know walking is a great way to exe...

...are beautiful in my humble opinion. I didn't make them, so I can say that!

We are starting Revival services tomorrow evening. The evangelist is Dr. Paul Kaufman and the singers are the Jerry Glick Family. I am really looking forward to the services. I want God to speak to me and use me to reach others. I want to move up and have all that God has for me. Therefore, my blog will probably be silent for the rest of the week...I know that just breaks your heart...:( I also will not be on Facebook as much this week. To be honest with you, God has been speaking to me about the amount of time I spend online. It gets to be too much sometimes. Also, I am going to try my best not to read any fiction books this week. I am still have to finish the Ted Dekker book Sinner, but it will still be there next week. Mom and I did go pick up my wedding dress on Saturday. I am so glad to have it in my possession now. I just need to lose a few pounds so that it fits better. I just printed out some of the response cards for the invitations. I bought the scrapbook album that I am goin...

...to go before I become Mrs. Carl Froelich! Well, today is almost over, so pretty much it is 99 days now. I am so excited! I also received a phone call from the Bridal shop today. My bridal gown is in...woot woot! I can't wait to go and get it. I think Mom and I are going to go down to Louisville on Saturday to pick up my dress. it feels like I have been waiting forever for the dress to come in. I ordered it right after Thanksgiving, so it has been a few months. I can't wait to try it on!

Saturday evening, Carl and I went to the Hilbert Circle Theatre to hear the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. It had been a while since I had been there and Carl had never been. The orchestra performed a couple Aaron Copeland pieces, a world premiere of a Symphony, Leonard Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story (one of my favorite musicals, by the way), and George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. The symphony was composed by Gabriela Lena Frank, who is Hispanic and talked to lots of Hispanic immigrants to Indianapolis to get ideas to compose this symphony. It was really good. I liked how she spoke and explained the different Testimonios of the symphony, called Peregrinos , which is Spanish for Pilgrims, before the orchestra performed it. Of course, my favorite part of the whole performance was Rhapsody in Blue...I LOVE it. The piano soloist was Gabriela Montero, who did an amazing job. She came back on stage to do an encore, which was even more amazing. She asked for so...
