- I wish I'd had my camera with me, but last Wednesday, our small group had sort of a farewell dinner for us and it was awesome. We have loved our small group. They're an amazing group of people! They prayed for us and for the Northwest campus, and it was sad and exciting all at the same time. We'll be starting our new NW small group mid-May!
- The word all along (well, for the past week or two) has been that we're supposed to close on our house on Friday. Well, we just found out that it's probably not going to happen until next Wednesday or Friday. I'm trusting God (and praying lots) that it does though, because we still have to be out of our current house on Sunday.
- Last night was the Astros opening night. It's a longstanding (2 year) tradition in our house that on opening day, we watch the game together and eat lots of baseball fare. You know... peanuts... Cracker Jacks... hot dogs...
- Aaron has had to go to two funerals in the past two weeks. Tragic, sad funerals. Hope these are the last for a while.
- Abby and Carson have been doing awesome lately. They're super sweet kids who get along BEAUTIFULLY. They've been spending most of their time in the back yard playing on the swing set and talking over the fence to the neighbor kids.
- Finished the book of Joshua the other day and am now reading Judges. This is the longest I've ever stuck with a Bible reading plan!
- I've been watching a lot of TV lately. I know that I should stop. I've just started recording too many shows. But they're all so good! Here's my list:
- The Office - this has always been one of our favorites. It's losing some of it's funniness, but we love Jim and Pam... and Andy... and Dwight... well, we're kind of attached to them all.
- Community - funniest show on TV right now, in my opinion.
- Parenthood - I've only watched a few episodes, and there are parts of it I don't love, but the end always makes me emotional because they do a great job of showing what family is all about at the end of the day... loving each other despite choices or personality or past. Very cool.
- Project Runway - I'm always inspired by the talent and creativity.
- Undercover Boss - my dad turned me on to this one... it's really interesting!
- Home Rules - a new show on HGTV that I think is really interesting. It's not just home makeovers. It's lifestyle makeovers. Cool concept.
- Tabatha's Salon Takeover - this one hasn't been on in a while, but as a business owner, I love it. Even though she's not in my industry, she talks about marketing, customer service, appearance, etc. and how it all comes together to make or break your business.
- Life - this series on Discovery Channel is beautiful and awe inspiring. Just have to get past Oprah talking about how we all evolved from fish.
- Ten Dollar Dinners - I enjoy watching Melissa D'Arabian (winner of last season's Next Food Network Star) as she cooks meals for four for $10 or less. She's creative and helpful.
- American Idol - the past few seasons have sucked us in. I'm getting a little tired of the show, but now I'm invested. I think this season might be my last. (But I think I said that last year.)
I've probably rambled far longer than you care to read. It's a slow day in the newsroom. :)
