Hello! I know you have probably forgotten me by now, but it’s Christy! Remember me? I used to blog until my life took over! Like many things, I don’t want to do anything that is not perfect, whether water skiing or blogging, and Brian just told me, “A quick thought is ok. Not every blog has to be a masterpiece.” Now, obviously he has not been reading my blog because “masterpiece” is not quite the word to describe it, BUT – he does have a point. I need to relax. That is my word for 2009 and all. Probably time to start practicing it. Soooooooo………..
It’s May! Can you even believe it?! I have finished my wedding invites (thank God), did my sis-in-law’s shower (turned out great!), went on a girl’s weekend (awesome), just got back from our church network conference (love Mark Batterson), have been working on my talk for the spring brunch (pray), caught the swine flu. Well, it’s not really the swine flu, but a horrible cough and cold. I think I slept about 8 hours just today – not at night, mind you – during the day. Now it is 11pm and I don’t feel tired. Hmmm. So I am blogging! Here is the run down of the last month.
Our big boy!
Cool dude!
Jake has finally mastered the two wheeler. Yes, he is almost 6, but it is not easy to find a dry day that we are all home to mark this great achievement! He did GREAT!! Hardly needed any help! His sisters were so proud of him. Love it when they are getting along.
Looking too old!
Madison got her hair cut. She immediately aged about 5 years. CRAZY! She says I always say that when any of the kids get a haircut. But, it’s so true!!
Egg Hunt
Easter was great! The egg hunt our church did was a HUGE success! Tons of people showed up! Our Sunday services went great too. God is good.
My sis-in-law's gift and contest entry.
One super exciting thing that happened in April was my selection to the Craft Warehouse Design Team! WoooHooo! I will get to design projects for them, get free product and a discount at the store! What is better than that? Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking Day, by the way, the first day of my discount. Sick or not, I will be there! :0)
Dear Friends!
The best part of April was girls weekend at the beach house. I went with four of my college girlfriends for 4 days of RELAXATION! It was soooo great. It was like we were all back in the dorm, but with more smarts, that’s for sure! We also didn’t have to raid Kim’s room to get enough money for Taco Bell. My friend, Rod, prepared wonderful food for us. We were spoiled!! What I loved is that these girls HAVE MY BACK!! They have loved me for 20 years! I was able to share some things that, as a pastor’s wife, I just can’t share with people here and my college girls could look at the situation with only my best interests in mind. It was so refreshing. They gave me a list of things to do when I got home. I love a good list, and I am half way through, Girls!! I thank God for my friends. What a blessing!
Brian and I just returned from our churches network conference in beautiful, scenic Pasco, WA. Ok – it rained the whole time. Anyway – one of the guest speakers was Mark Batterson. He was sooo great to listen to. Inspiring. I can’t wait to read his books. Brian has read them and loved them and that is saying a lot because he does NOT enjoy reading. They are titled: “In a Cage with a Lion on a Snowy Day” and “Wild Goose Chase”. I will give my review when I am done. I have heard they are seriously life changing.
Only 27 minutes until National Scrapbooking Day!! I better go get my beauty sleep!
