This Week [08.17.10]

This Week...

- Spent the evening with some great friends and shared good food, conversation, and laughter. Very fun and refreshing.
- Abby got to spend the night with Mackenzie. They set up a lemonade stand, wore tutus, and did lots of other fun girly things.


- Got Carson registered for the MDO Program at Powerhouse TNT Gymnastics, and we're both super excited about it!
- The kids and I will be taking one last short trip of the summer back home tomorrow to Howe visit our friends Ashley and Harlan, and to meet (and photograph, of course) new baby Ella!
- We painted Abby's room to create the "High School Musical-Hannah Montana-Horses" feel that she was after. She's very happy with it.

- Celebrated our friend Henry's long-awaited new heart! Praise God!
- Visited the New Braunfels Campus with our core team.

- Rekindled my passion for the NW Campus and got lots of ideas.
- Got to spend a lot of time with friends, team members, and awesome people.
- Went swimming.
- Prayed more.
- Aaron and I decided to quit watching TV for a while (except for a little football here and there, of course). I had been feeling like God was asking me/us to do it, but didn't say anything and then AARON brought it up. Definitely a God thing.
- Got mostly caught up on work.
- Got very behind on laundry.
- Was punched in the face by allergies. Felt sick all weekend. Feeling better now, but my voice is nearly gone.
- Really had a lot of fun with my kids!
- Read more.
- Wrote two letters (one to North Dakota and one to Peru). On paper. With a pen. And stamps. This is something I am resolving to do more. I'm bringing letter writing back! Because in my book, there are few things more exciting than receiving letters and magazines in the mailbox.
- Aaron started teaching at Believers' Academy. He's the Speech and Debate teacher! Way to go, Mr. Powers! Have one of your students take a picture of you teaching. I want that for the blog!

This week had it's ups and downs, but has been great overall. God is teaching and leading me every day to depend on him completely for everything. And you know what's crazy? He's showing me that he is trustworthy. In everything. And that is cool. Hope that you begin to sense the same thing in your life. Have a great week!
