It is spring break here so things are really quiet, but I know it’s just the quiet before the storm. I have looked at my schedule for the upcoming months and I think if I can just live through May I should be good. There are still two big trips in June and July, but that is the fun part. Getting ready for them while planning a Good Friday service, a local mission event, having two retreats, and doing relay for life that is the hard part. I think every weekend in May is now officially booked for me. Everything is going well though.
I am super excited as I got a new car. Well, its not new but it is super nice. It is a 2002, but it only has 16,000 miles on it and it was free, so yea!! I haven’t taken a picture of it yet as today was the first chance I have had and it is nasty weather, but it looks just like this.
It has leather interior, a GPS system, a six-cd changer, power everything, and seat warmers. I will take actual pictures when we have a nice day.
I have lost about 20 pounds on my diet. I don’t know if you can tell a difference or not. I would take pictures, but it is a rainy day and my hair is having some issues due to that.
MG is obsessed with legos now. Not just the blocks, but the weird little shows you can watch that feature the lego characters. You can find these online. He also really likes playing the games. Isn’t it weird that they have video games that feature characters made of lego blocks? You can play star wars lego or Indiana Jones lego. They freak me out, I don’t know why. I think it has to do with The Brick Testament, which has scarred me for life.
I can’t really say one thing I have given up for Lent. I have done more of a lifestyle change in eating much healthier. I haven’t had a Dr. Pepper or red meat in a month, so that counts right?
I’ve just felt blah spiritually recently so I am trying to push through that with bible study, prayer, and reading some classic sermons. I think it has a lot to do with how yucky I have felt due to allergies, grumpy people, and hopefully some spiritual growth coming up.
Lately I have just been working, playing with the kids, and watching some tv. More on what I watch later…

You should show MG the Zach the lego maniac commercial from the 80s – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDH3AoOQzE0 – I think he’d like it. Plus, I think you’re the one who said you had a crush on Zach when you were a kid (me too, but don’t tell anyone).

I am right there with MG on the lego games. I have all of the Lego games, including Lego Batman. I enjoy them because they are fun, require some problem-solving skills, and aren’t too violent (only cartoon violence). Glad to hear from you!!
