Hello Twenty-six, I’m Stevan.
Nice to meet you.
I hope you still know my friend Fourteen.

We left this afternoon for Marion for our friends’ wedding at Lakeview Wesleyan. Derek Carpenter married his bride, Christi this afternoon. It was a nice wedding, though I liked ours more! (I was a part of ours, ya know)
After the wedding we enjoyed visiting with Jess’ sister, Jaymie for a few hours before heading back to Warsaw via Wabash and a stop at the Wabash Donut Shop with our friends Phil & Steph – who will be married this December!
A fun day was had by all.
Pictures of the day are available here.
I just got done with a unique visit to Yellowstone National Park.
What?
Yep! I just watched Old Faithful errupt with dozens of others!
It brought back MANY memories of 3 of the best summer-months of my life – spent working, hiking, and living Yellowstone and surrounding areas.
How did I see Old Faithful errupt this morning? By visiting her webcam! Check it out!
I would be going against all that is holy if I didn’t share “with the world” the latest blessing that came to the Stevan and Jessica Sheets household.
Two weeks ago I went to Walmart to get an oil change and get my tires balanced and rotated. The oil change went fine, but they wouldn’t balance or rotate my tires due to extremely low tread on all four tires – due to the wear of driving with an out-of-alignment car.
I was a bit dismayed about the situation – knowing that I’d need to spend about $200 to get 4 new tires and an alignment. Jess and I put it in the Lord’s hands – obviously, the best hands!
Yesterday we received a $100 gift and today we received ANOTHER $100 gift.
God’s blessings are never-ending and are “just-in-time”!
He knew that if those gifts came at a different time, we would have spent them on other “necessities”! (frisbees, toys, videos, etc.)
Today after we realized these two gifts, Jess and I were in awe of the Providential blessings of our Lord!
This afternoon I took my wife on a “dinner & a movie” date and the movie was yet another Summer 2005 remake: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Let me first say that this will DEFINITELY be on my Christmas 2005 wish-list!
Let me say, secondly, that each and every stevansheets.com reader – regardless of race, sex, occupation, or marital status MUST go out and see this amazing remake!
This version goes WAY deeper into the characters of both Charlie and Willy Wonka! I loved that fact! Also – the amazing Tim Burton imagery that makes this movie an amazing “work of art” is absolutely superb.
From the Oompa Loompa’s to the “all candy room”, the movie’s images will continue to run through my head for the next weeks I’m sure!
