Good News--I passed both my teacher certification tests!
I just wanted to share the news regarding the results from the GACE tests I took in October. I took both the Middle Grades Language Arts and the Social Studies tests. I found out Monday night that I passed both tests! Thank you so much to all of my family, friends, and the churches who prayed for me. Your prayers are the key to my success. Please keep me in your prayers as I prepare to student teach at Stephens Middle School in February. I will be teaching 8th grade Language Arts. Thank you again for all of your prayers and your support.

Wedding Details
The wedding is Saturday June 7, 2008 at 5:00 PM in Winder, Georgia.
Jon's sons Daniel and Zach will be our attendants for the ceremony. Daniel is the Best Man. Zach is the Ring bearer. Jon's father Dr. J. B. Graham will perform the ceremony.
The ceremony will be at the Colleen O. Williams Community Theater/Winder Cultural Arts Center, which is located at 105 East Athens Street. The reception will be held at the Winder Community Center (the building facing out in the picture), which is adjacent to the theater (the building in the background) . The reception theme will be a celebration of our love of film with an atmosphere of old Hollywood elegance in the style of an Oscar after-party. We are planning some unique decorating ideas which will complete our theme. The food at the reception will be catered by
Magnolia Place Restaurant and will be served buffet style with a choice of two entrées, vegetables, bread, and a salad station. Of course, there will be wedding cake for dessert. We want our reception to be a lot of fun for all of our friends and family. Our hope is that this party-like family atmosphere will allow everyone to relax, eat, dance, and rejoice with us as we celebrate the beginning of our new life together and the blending of our new family unit. 
Our Engagement Pictures
These are our engagement pictures. They were taken July 14, just three days after Jon's proposal on July 11. I love that the pictures look like E-Harmony.

"She Said Yes!"
I'm sure I'll have to edit and update this with pictures and videos as they become available, but I thought I'd offer all my web-savvy friends (who typically prefer electronic communication) an account of my proposal for marriage to one Ms. Crystal Demsky.
A few back-story bullets to speed the story along ... I'll try not to bore you.
Crystal and I met via eHarmony. We were first "matched" in early June '06 but we didn't connect until late August '06 after I "nudged" her (an eHarmony term that means "hey, I'd really like to talk to you. Please quit ignoring me.") YES IT'S TRUE ... ...<< MORE >>
