Long time, no post.
Seems to be the story of my life. Not a lot of time to do anything!
But we have managed to have some fun.
This last week I turn 45. Dang. That’s all I have to say about that!!
We spent the day doing many things. We had a little family celebration in the morning.
Then we headed over to the Long Beach Aquarium — I had 6 free tickets!!
Isn’t this just the coolest picture!!!!
I love jellys… they’re so cool.
Sea Horses are petty cool too!!
I love this picture too of Gracie with the reflection in the glass…
Because it was my birthday, I took a picture of each of my girls and I at the aquarium.
Heather was my adopted daughter for the day so I took a picture with her too!
A very good friend of ours is in the hospital. Dan Alley. If you could be praying for him we’d sure appreciate it. I’m trying to stay positive, but it’s not looking so good. He’s been in the hospital for going on 7 weeks. He’s trying to heal from hip replacement surgery and a broken elbow, but he has severe heart blockage as well as diabetes and having to be on dialysis every day. He’s been in and out of ICU – as of a small heart attack on Thursday, he is back in ICU.
The girls and I went to the hospital after we got home from the aquarium to sing him some worship songs. It was a fight to get into the ICU to do so, but God provided us a way, and we were so thankful, as difficult as it was to see him so ill.
Coming home from that, we had to get ready for a youth worship rehearsal at our house that night. It was fun. I always so enjoy the youth at our church!!
Later that night we met some couples to go see the movie Fireproof — I don’t think I’ve been to a late showing of a movie in 15 years!!!! I was afraid I wouldn’t stay awake — but I did and it was a great movie and fun time with friends.
A full day indeed!! We didn’t get home until 12:45am!
Monday Valerie got her permit — another Bartosch on the road! Watch out!!!!
That’s all for now.

Sorry to hear about Dan Alley. Please keep me posted on him. How is his wife holding up? I always loved them at Coast, and the joy they both brought to church every Sunday.
