Well, today my hubby found out that not one, not two, but three of his pieces were accepted into the Visual Arts exhibit at the HopeArts Festival this summer! Two photographs and one digital illustration! He has been waiting with baited breath to find out, especially since I found out last week about my acceptance into the Spoken Word event. I am so proud for him!
