After church, we went to get some coffee/tea in Thousand Oaks...
...then walked to the Gardens of the World
where Tanner and Dad met Padre Junipero Serra, founder of the California Missions
Sitting in the French garden in front of the fountain.

Crazy Carnival Rides

Every year, the Conejo Valley has a carnival.
Chelsey and I couldn't remember the last time we went, but here we are with our friends...having WAY too much fun! Enjoy!
(We sure did =D)


it's a movie...just click the play button

Des fluers

Most of you know this...
And for those of you who don't...
I'm in love with an amazing man of God
His name is Tonio, and he lives in Nice, France
He sent me two dozen gorgeous roses!
Tonio, thank you for your example of Jesus' love to me. I get to see you so soon!!!
My brother found the box at the bottom of our driveway one day...
He brought them up to me, and said:
"I can only speculate who THESE are from."
Haha - I love my brother

Chelsey's Birthday

My sister is now 27!!!
Yes, crazy as it may seem, we are all back at home with mom and dad and loving it!

My mom and I drove my sister to her class on Sunday, April 25th, dropped her off, went to the Rainforest Café for breakfast and came back to have a big barbecue for my sis and the rest of her class after their lab final.
My mom and I goofing off in the photobooth at the Rainforest Café at Downtow Disney. I love my mommy ;)
Me and Chels with her Hello Kitty Birthday balloon.
Some of the guys in Chelsey's class ordered her a princess cake - classic...and it was purple and pink and FULL of sugar - yes!
Eating breakfast in a rainforest is quite an experience...hehe.

more french...yes!

As you know, I traveled to France for 5 weeks...
I had a wonderful time, and then...
I landed back here at LAX March 17th, 2010, and one week later, my good friend from Paris came to visit California...

...I just can't get France out of my mind or heart.
no time for jet lag ;)
I had the blessing of driving Elisa to meet with different people and churches to share the need for prayer for revival in France.
Solana Beach was our first stop.
Santa Fe Christian School.
Mrs. Catteneo let Elisa speak to two of her French classes.
French 2 -
Elisa shared statistics with the class in French. The powerpoint was in English, but I think most of them were tracking pretty well...even I understood 'un peu' (a little).
French 3 -
the class prayed for Elisa that God will continue to use her.
Then we drove about 30-something miles south to Chula Vista to meet a sweet couple from Calvary Chapel San Diego that has been praying for Elisa via email updates - the first time they met. Also, they brought the missions pastor and his wife.
Elisa's amazing California family
we stayed with them for a night
Wow - they love Jesus so much!!!
Back up north about 100 miles
Corona del Mar
This is where Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa has their beach baptisms.
couldn't resist
Austria proved valuable in SO many ways (wink, wink)
More friends that we met
Elisa also shared at Calvary Chapel Redlands, where Greg Opean is one of the pastors. He interviewed her about France and how we can all pray.
As a church, we prayed for Elisa and France.
Next and last stop - Murrieta Hot Springs
After attending Bible college here, Elisa has many connections and friends, so it was great for her to be able to update the student body on how to pray for France.
Last night
Elisa shared at a home fellowship


Perhaps your heart is stirred for France, too...
Please join me in prayer:
  • revival in France
  • more workers to serve Jesus in France
  • Elisa in Paris - for vision, wisdom, strength, provision
  • Petrignani family in Nice - Bible School, vision, blessing
Merci beaucoup!
Thank you so much!
Love Lindsey


powderpuff football anyone?

Go Chargers!
Agoura High School had powderpuff (girls) football game with faculty vs. students. Chels asked if I wanted to play with them to add an extra player...so much fun!
More than 10 years after graduating,
I'm back at my alma mater.
Chels was QB
I played receiver/line

huttle up

*note our mouths*
Chelsey: open and yelling
Mine: smiling
I enjoy our differences and similarities.


My bestest friend in the WHOLE wide world.

My Molly Girl
She enjoys her walks to the local arena...man can she run and buck.






After, she just follows me around like a puppy dog.
