Back to Blogging!

It's been a crazy week! It was brought to my attention that I haven't blogged since last Sunday, and I couldn't believe it. I can't believe that I let it go that long! So, here is a quick update on life.

Bekah is working hard at mastering her music for the 2 musicals that she is currently in, as well as her competition peices for choir at school. She has been singing on the praise team, which she enjoys a lot too. She is also busy with school work, youth group, and of course family time! Her summer plans are coming together too... Camp counselor for drama camp, helping with the new girls' choir, and mission trips. Oh yeah.... she has been living large on the vegatarian lifestyle for over a month now!

Jenn is busy with ONE thing- MOVING ON TO COLLEGE! I'd like to keep her at home, but I am selfish! She is busy getting scholarships lined up, worrying about majors, and or course, what colors to use in her dorm room! These things are important! Her summer plans are also coming together- mission trip.... and FINDING A JOB!

Jason is slammed at work- and although he is tired... he loves it. He is also supporting a few friends and their computer needs (a few... or a few dozen!!). Of course he is still bowling- and loves that too... I don't care too much for the smell of smoke that he brings home... but hey, what you do? He is leading more at small group, and spending some time mentoring at church.

As for me... I am good. I am still LOVING my job... although it has been pretty stressful lately. It is just that time of year, and my boss was out for 2 weeks, which put extra stress on me. I just kept reminding myself that this stress doesn't even come close to the stress of my old job- it made the YMCA stress seem like a walk in the park on a summer day. I have an overnight trip for work this week- that should be interesting. I am having fun with the worship committee and praise team- it is great to serve God with music!

I still struggle with a little forgiveness issues... but I am praying about it- I'd appreciate your prayers too! :)

Jason and I have been furniture shopping, and finally made a decision today. Our new stuff will be here on Friday! Of course when you buy new funiture, you have to buy new curtains and a new rug too! We also need to find new lamps! So, we did that today too. I hope we find a new entertainment center soon, I am pretty unhappy with the one we have now, but it will do, if we don't find what we want soon. We were just about to purchase one today... but Jason said he thought we were settling so we didn't get it. We will find one- when the time is right. Now that we have purchased the furniture, I want to clean the capet, and paint! (I will post pictures when it is done!)

In other news... Mikki is going to the doc this week- but all is good... We worked Room at the Inn last night... it was great. My mom even got involved... it was awesome... I am addicted to a new computer game... the Cardinals won today (8-1)... we are making plans for our Chicago trip... we are making new decoration plans for Mikki's room... I am working out more now... It's American Idol time again, and my favorites are Chris and Gina... and I still hate doing laundry!

So, that is how life is going for us... how is everyone else?

Oh, by the way... congrats to Jen, Karl and Spencer on the birth of a precious baby boy!
