Ed's First Art Speech

Hey All! Two posts in one week for me. Guess I'll get them in while I can. Thursday we took a little day trip down to Mankato. Ed got his two year degree at Bethany Lutheran College, which is now a private 4 year school, and they had asked him to come back, show his work, and give a talk about his art. So he'd been working on his speech pretty hard for the last few weeks. They told him most visiting artists talk around 45 minutes.
We got down there in time to meet Scot and Mandy, a couple of good friends for dinner. We headed over to the campus, and they had quite a few chairs set up for the speech. Ed's show looked great, see the pics on the side. A couple of the art professors have their students come and take notes, and then they have to write a paper. All about Ed:) So they had over 100 people there, and all these diligent students (because it was the first week of class), were taking notes all through his talk. He did awesome. Didn't sound nervous at all, just got up there and told his story. I was so proud! This gets to be my bragging moment. Afterwards people asked quite a few questions, and they had a reception for him afterwards. It was really a great night for him.
Today we are hanging out, getting some house stuff done. Ed is laying the carpet in the basement room. Really. It might actually be done this week to the point where we can move stuff down there. And then I can finally create a nursery. I know I've been saying that in every weekly blog, but this week it might actually happen.
Have a good weekend!
