at harvest. 

• Give groundcovers a haircut. They will spread faster. 

• Divide daylilies, daisies and other perennials now.

Engagement Stories

Chelsea & William 

What was supposed to be a family vacation to Las Vegas/the Grand Canyon 

the week before Thanksgiving, ended up turning into the most picture 

perfect proposal. The morning we were supposed to leave for the Grand 

Canyon, I wasn’t feeling well, and said I would stay back. However, William 

was very insistent that I come. I took some medicine, got ready really 

quickly, and we hopped into the car for our grand excursion. When we got 

to the Grand Canyon, it was freezing outside (to Texans of course!) and 

there was even some snow on the ground. It looked so magical (especially 

considering I have only seen snow a couple of times)! As I was getting out 

of the car, I noticed that one of my fake nails had fallen off (I had gotten my 

nails done the week prior) ON MY LEFT HAND! William’s mother had 

asked, “what hand did the nail fall off from?”, which I thought was a funny 

question to ask. When we got to the Grand Canyon, we stopped to take 

pictures (and get me a jacket because I did NOT plan for freezing weather). 

During one picture, William had bent down to sit for the picture, but in 

my head I was thinking “THIS IS IT! THERE IS WHERE WE GET EN- 

GAGED!” My heart started racing and I was so excited. But....all that was said was, “Chelsea, sit down so we can take the picture.” I was slightly disappointed, 

but I wouldn’t let it ruin my time. We went to go grab a bite to eat, and William and his family were asking when sunset was so we could go to one final stop: 

Yavapai Point. By the time we got there, I was freezing and felt like my hands and legs were going numb and was apprehensive to take more pictures. Then, in 

the most perfect spot, right as we were posing for a picture, William got down on one knee and showed me the most beautiful ring that he picked out himself. 

I didn’t even let him talk I was so in shock that I just went in for a giant hug. When his family asked what I said, I responded with, “oh he never asked!” He 

officially asked, I said “YES!!!!!!!”, and the rest of our “grand” love story is history! 

Lisa & Matt 

My wife and I met on a blind date – we were immediately attracted 

to each other. Later, when the time came, I wanted to have the 

perfect way to propose to her, so I conspired with my mother to 

create the ‘perfect day’. First, my sister, Rachel, took a picture 

of me at our favorite place – Castlewood State Park outside of St. 

Louis, Missouri. From this picture, a wooden jigsaw puzzle was 

created – the largest piece in the center being a sign with my special 

message… ‘Lisa, Will You Marry Me?’. The remaining pieces 

of the puzzle were randomly divided into handmade velvet bags 

that each had a handwritten calligraphy poem on them created 

by me describing a new location for the ‘Treasure Hunt’. Each location 

has some significance since it was a place where we had 

experienced something special together. At the last location, I 

presented her with the final piece and the diamond ring. My wife 

is a very special person who has given me so much…I love her.

Violet & TJ 

"They" say that after a storm, comes a rainbow....it turns out that "they" 

are correct. I met my fiancé, TJ, about 20 years ago. Nothing became 

of it, except seeing the familiar face from time to time throughout the 

years. On July 15, I ran into the familiar face, yet once again. Except this 

time, it was God's timing and we were engaged on September 16. He is 

the biggest teddy bear with the kindest soul. He is the happily ever after 

that me & daughters needed for so long.... We will say "I do" on 2/11/18.

FEBRUARY IS CREATIVE ROMANCE MONTH 

February is being Creative Romance Month and many of you may feel like 

that is a lot of pressure! Don’t worry though because we’ve put together a 

list of romantic, yet creative ideas to make the month of February full of 

romance. 

Go On A Surprise Trip. What better way to spend time together than 

by going on a surprise trip? Instead of just telling your partner that you 

planned a getaway, make them work to figure out what their Valentine’s 

present is. Write the name of the destination on a piece of paper and cut it 

up into pieces that they have to put together. If you want to really build up 

the anticipation, you can always give them one piece of the puzzle a day 

leading up to Valentine’s Day. 

Kidnap Them For A Day. If your partner is into fun gags, put a blindfold on 

him or her and drive them to your chosen destination before you take the 

blindfold off. It can be something as simple as a romantic dinner to their 

favorite restaurant or a visit to their favorite museum. Tell them little clues 

along the way to see if they can actually guess where they are going.

the Lord”

Act Like A Tourist. Just because you have lived in a city for a while it 

doesn’t mean that you’ve visited everywhere there is to go. For Valentine’s 

Day, do a little bit of research about restaurants or attractions that you 

and your partner have never been to before. Then on Valentine’s Day, act 

like tourists at the place you end up going too. Don’t just rush through the 

experience. Really soak it all in, spend a lot of time there and just have a 

good time overall. 

Can’t Get Away For A Few Days? Book A Hotel Room. If you and your 

partner want to go on a vacation, but don’t have the time, consider 

booking a really nice hotel room for 1-2 nights. Even though you won’t 

actually be leaving your city, it might feel like it if you choose the right 

hotel. Not only should the hotel you choose have plenty of activities and 

amenities, but it should be in a location that will allow you to easily enjoy 

restaurants and shops within walking distance. 

Share The Romance. If you and your partner are the kind of couple that 

likes to outdo one another, consider trading off. On even days you could 

plan romantic activities and on odd days it’s your partner’s turn. This can 

last for only a few days, a week or the entire month of February! If you 

really want to wow them consider going on a day cruise on your day or 

going camping for the night.

See To Succeed Initiative

CFISD Continues Growing Collaboration 

With City Of Houston For See To 

Succeed Initiative 

Following a very successful first year, CFISD bussed even more students 

- approximately 1,600 - to the Berry Center from January 8 th -11 th for free 

comprehensive eye exams and eyewear provided by the Harris County Health 

Department’s See to Succeed program. The See to Succeed program partners 

with several organizations and community volunteers throughout the area to 

organize weeklong vision clinics for students between the ages of 6 to 18 who 

have not passed state-mandated vision screenings initiated by school nurses. 

Transporting CFISD students to the clinics presented logistical and 

scheduling issues, but See to Succeed acquired mobile vision exam 

equipment. That allowed team members, volunteers and vision 

professionals to travel and establish more remote locations.

And in the case of CFISD, that meant setting up the program at the Berry 

Center. Approximately 400 students per day were examined and fitted 

for glasses over the four days at no cost to participating families. Due to 

the increase, a separate See to Succeed program will be set up at Fiest 

Elementary School to serve the high demand on that campus. The total 

increased from the roughly 1,100 students that participated a year ago. 

Consent forms to participate in the program were sent home via school 

nurses for those students who failed the vision screenings on campus 

multiple times or were deemed as needing an examination. 

According to Bevin Gordon, CFISD’s director for health services, 

approximately 5,500 students within the district will fail the statemandated 

vision screening each year. And from those, roughly half would 

not get a professional eye examination to address the issues. 

Each day of the four began with eligible students shuttled by CFISD buses 

to and from their campuses to the Berry Center. Upon arrival, See to 

Succeed employees and volunteers greeted the students and led them to 

the auditorium for registration as well as distributing stickers for each to 

help identify students throughout the day. The process was broken down 

into stations, including pre-screening rooms and waiting areas, before 

each student would ultimately visit with an eye doctor. 

Stations included distance acuity, color, stereo, near point of accommodation 

and conversion, slit lamp, auto refraction and refraction, optical frame 

selection, check out and data entry. If a student needed an immediate referral 

or follow-up consultation, program workers were ready to call parents and 

guardians. Three urgent cases were caught in the first two days. 

The entire screening process lasted between 2-4 hours per student. During 

their time at the Berry Center, students were accompanied by CFISD clinic 

assistants, who joined them as chaperones. Breakfast and lunch were 

provided to students by the CFISD nutrition services department to ensure 

meals were not missed as a result of a student being at the Berry Center. 

The partnership with CFISD and its personnel made the four-day operation 

a smooth success, said See to Succeed Manager Patricia Watson. 

More than 200 employees from Watson’s team joined many volunteers to make 

the program run as smooth as it does. Participating students will have eyeglasses 

delivered to their home campuses in roughly four weeks, a part of the process 

almost more rewarding as helping each student through his or her exam. 

The See to Succeed program has been in operation from its primary Heights 

location by the City of Houston Health Department since 2007. Since its 

start, the program has screened more than 22,000 children and distributed 

over 19,000 glasses to those in need. See to Succeed program partners 

include the Houston Department of Health and Human Services, University 

of Houston, San Jacinto College, Berkeley Eye Center, public and private 

schools, as well as community volunteers from across the Houston area. For 

more information, visit See to Succeed at www.HoustonService.org.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - COPPERHEAD DISTRICT 

For 100 years, Scouting programs have instilled in youth the values found 

in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Today, these values are just as relevant 

in helping youth grow to their full potential as they were in 1910. Scouting 

helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership 

skills, outdoor skills and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. 

The Boy Scouts of America provides youth with programs and activities 

that allow them to: 

• Try new things. 

• Provide service to others. 

• Build self-confidence. 

• Reinforce ethical standards. 

Scouting provides youth with a sense that they are important as 

individuals while promoting activities that lead to personal responsibility 

and high self-esteem. As a result, when hard decisions have to be made, 

peer pressure can be resisted and the right choices can be made. 

Scouting provides a rewarding experience for boys ages 5 to 21. Scouting 

through the local Packs and Troops teach outdoor and life skills which help 

our youth Be Prepared. Your area is serviced by the BSA Sam Houston Area 

Counsel - Copperhead District which includes 23 Cub Scout Packs (boys 5 

to 10 years old), 13 Troops (boys from 11 to 18 years old) and 10 Venturing 

units (boys and girls from 14 to 21). Our Units typically meet weekly.

decoration-The Medal of Honor-for his heroic actions during combat in 

the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan on October 25, 2007. His courage and 

leadership while under extreme enemy fire were integral to his team’s 

survival and led to his selection as the first living recipient of the Medal 

of Honor since the Vietnam War and the eighth service member to receive 

the nation’s highest military decoration for valor in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

CFEF was established in 1970 as a non-profit to raise money to fund a 

scholarship for high school graduates in the area. Over the past 47 years, 

the Foundation has grown tremendously through the efforts of the Board 

of Trustees and the generosity of the Cy-Fair Community. The Foundation 

has awarded over $7.5 million in scholarships to 1600 graduating seniors.

deductible, as allowed by the law.

FREE MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP 

Cypress Historical Society at Cypress Top Historic Park running through 

February 22 nd from 10:30 AM to 12 PM. Everyone has a story and everyone 

has memories. Some of them are good. Others are not so good. But, all of 

them are valuable. This workshop is about preserving your family history, 

one memory at a time. With the help of your teacher, coach and mentor 

you will learn to jar those faded memories loose, then compose, organize, 

preserve and share them electronically for future generations. Jackie 

Devine loves working with active writers and people who have never 

tried to write! This course will help you understand the memoir writing 

process: story structure, scenes, dialogue, character development, tone 

and voice. You’ll learn that you are creating a legacy. If desired, stories will 

be recorded and saved online where family and friends can enjoy them for 

years to come. Located behind Juergen’s Hall Community Center, 26026

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of the Season of Lent occurring forty 

days (excluding Sundays) before Good Friday. It is traditionally a time 

for worshippers to gather together with penitent hearts to have their 

foreheads marked with a cross of ashes in an act of penance and contrition 

before the Lord. On Wednesday evening, February 14 th at 7 PM. we will 

be having an Ash Wednesday worship celebration. This service will include 

the marking of ashes on each worshippers head followed by a quiet time of 

reflection at the altar. In addition, as we do each Ash Wednesday service, 

there will be something “extra special” to illustrate God’s forgiveness of 

our sins. Special music will be provided by the Chancel Choir. This will be 

a meaningful service and everyone is invited to attend. 

ST. CUTHBERT CHURCH 

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER 

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday Pancake 

Supper on February 13 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat pancakes and play 

bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the Middle Ages. Food items like 

meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were regarded as restricted during Lent. To 

keep such food from being wasted, many families would have big feasts 

on Shrove Tuesday. The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove 

Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as possible 

before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption of all fats and 

fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. 

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICES 

You are also invited to the Ash Wednesday services at St. Cuthbert 

Episcopal church on February 14 th at 6:30 AM, 4:30 PM and 7 PM. All 

services have Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. The 4:30 PM 

service is designed for children and their families. Ash Wednesday marks 

the beginning of the season of Lent, which is dedicated to reflection, 

prayer and fasting in preparation for Easter.

peace - emotions that are given to us by God. As our city recovers from 

the trauma of Harvey, many of us have felt these emotions in new 

ways. Scripture is filled with emotion, both God’s emotions as well as 

those of His people. Our emotions influence our lives as they inform, 

motivate and guide us in what we do or don’t do, say or don’t say and 

react or not. Being intentionally aware of our emotions and navigating 

our reaction to them will benefit every aspect of our lives. Come be 

a part of this Lenten study as we prepare ourselves to meet the risen 

Christ. 

Younger children will explore the movie Inside Out. This movie centers 

around an 11-year old girl and her emotions as her family makes a 

cross-country move. The nursery will be open if requested.

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON SCHOLA CANTORUM 

Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church? 

Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth 

Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12 for 

its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching the 

Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 3:45-5 

PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from the rich 

Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as the finest 

modern church music. Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of 

music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the words and the structure 

and meaning of the Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For 

more information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo 

You could make this on National Fettuccine Alfredo Day February 7 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts 

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

ground black pepper to taste 

2 cups heavy cream 

2 egg yolks 

salt to taste 

1 pound fettuccine 

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley 

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided 

DIRECTIONS: 

Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to 

a boil, cover and reduce heat to low; simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer 

another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes. 

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving the broth in the 

saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size slices. Return the 

chicken broth to medium heat and cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and 

heavy cream into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. 

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm cream mixture 

into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until about 1/2 cup of the warm cream 

mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the 

remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the 

mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and 

black pepper to taste. 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in boiling water, stirring 

occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain. 

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the pasta. Remove from 

heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick. 

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to serve.

Family 

Focus 

Family Roster 

Mom: Chelsey, works for Health and Human Service 

Commission (HHSC of Texas). Went to undergrad at 

Baylor University. Originally raised in El Paso, Texas 

then family moved to Houston at 18 YO. 

Dad: Cobby, attorney for a surgical 

center. Went to undergrad at Lincoln 

University. Originally from Ghana, 

most of his family still lives there. 

Daughter: 

Nina, 3 YO. 

Loves ballet, PJ masks, and 

playing dress up. 

“We also have a greyhound who is a retired racer, Artie. We got him from a rescue organization. He sleeps most of the time but enjoys walking 

in the neighborhood and occasionally runs circles in our backyard. He also is terrified of rain and fireworks so depending on the time of year, 

we have to give him special love and attention.” 

What They Love to Do 

Cobby enjoys biking in the area and exploring 

new places with his bike. Chelsey likes going 

on walks with their dog and riding her bike, but 

admits that she is not quite as adventurous with 

bike trails as Cobby. 

Nina loves utilizing different playgrounds and 

activities at the YMCA and the bounce park. They 

spend a lot of time at the pool during the summer, 

whether it is at the YMCA or their community pool. 

Mom and dad enjoy going on food adventures and 

exploring new family owned restaurants. In the 

past, they were more involved with the Westcreek 

community garden, but haven’t been able to be 

as involved this season. They hope to be able 

to get more involved in the spring. As a family, 

they liked learning about gardening from other 

members of the community, especially since they 

are new to gardening. Nina really enjoyed pulling 

the vegetables though apparently, she wasn’t 

always the biggest fan of eating them. Surely 

many other parents can relate! 

Why They Love Living Here 

“We have lived here since the summer of 2015. We like living in the area due to the mature trees, walking and bike paths, 

accessible parks, and overall proximity to family friendly activities. We also enjoy the people in this community and love 

the diversity of the area. 

In the previous cities that we lived in, it was not as easy to get involved in the 

community, but that is not the case here. Over the past year, we organized 

our block’s National Night Out event which was the first time our block 

had this event in years. We also helped with Westcreek’s Easter Egg hunt, 

which our community had not had in years. We enjoyed the ability to build 

Love is in the Air 

How They Express It: “We don’t really do anything for Valentine’s Day. We 

exchange gifts and cards but it’s not a big holiday for us.” 

Ideal VD: Dad’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going to a new restaurant 

that no one has heard about yet. Mom’s ideal Valentine’s Day would be going 

to the restaurant where Dad proposed, but unfortunately that restaurant is 

no longer in business. Other than that, Mom would enjoy spending time at 

home with a nice store bought meal while watching a movie. 

What Makes It Tick: “At Nina’s daycare, they have a Valentine’s Day party and 

exchange Valentine’s Day cards. We usually spend the night before Valentine’s 

Day getting her school cards ready.” Nina usually receives a timeless stuffed 

animal from Mom and Dad (who doesn’t love a new squishy friend?) and 

enjoys candy she received from her Valentine’s card exchange at her school.
