Well, HOWDY!!

Yes, it's been a while since we posted!!! Busy, Busy Bees we be!!! Now, let's see...not much has changed on the baby scene! Well, actuall NOTHING has changed!! We are suppose to be waiting for a cycle to start, anticipated to happen aroun April 9th, and been as still as a tick on a cow's but!! I called the doctor to inquire if we should be concerened and they said probablly I still have alot of the meds in my system used to supress my hormones. So, that makes sense and we are back to waitin two more weeks! Waiting...waiting....another funny is this week I lead a bible study on PATIENCE! Now that you have stopped laughing and are wiping the tears from your eyes....I said LEAD...not taught! Actually, it was awesome becuase I really needed to learn how to graciously wait upon the Lord...I learned so much and it was good to partner with my friend Steph, who co-lead with me!! Thank you Steph---

So, while we are waiting upon Mother Nature to return her presence, last weekend we participated in the OKC Marathon with our YL group to raise money!! We had 2 run the full, a great relay team that covered the full, and several runners in the 1/2 marathon. As for me and my household, along with a mighty group of others, we did the 5K SAUNTER - as we like to call it!! YE-YAH!! The morning of the marathon we woke up to freezing cold rain and strng winds....can't tell you how many times we muddeled under our breath "I'm only doing this becuase I love the kids!" It was stinkin cold!!! But all had an amazing time - Tony B did an AMAZING job coordinating the whole trip and Brian & Shauna Huffman (amazing YL committe peeps) really hooked us up with awesome rooms at The Renassaince downtown, just blocks from the start/finish line!!

Ok, I don't really know if I can announce this yet, but I'm going to put it out there. Over the past several months I have been pursueing the possibility of going on Staff with Young Life. After interviews and lots of prayer, The Father is just really leading and moving to make this happen! I AM SO EXCITED!!! For most of you that know me...you know I'm pretty spastic and spuradic...so it will come no suprise that I am going into Jr. High ministry!!! WyldLife is the Jr. High division of Young Life and I will be the WL Director for Carrollton! HOW COOL IS THAT? Isn't God just so cool? I am really excited!!! I will start out part time, while I'm still at CTM, and eventually transition into Full Time.

David is GREAT...my little Pappa Bear! He's been a little grumpy lateley, with finals next week! Haven't really seen much of each other as he heads to study after work! He is really looking forward to the summer break and take a break from class! Hopefully, we will be able to hit the road and get out to visit some friends and family over the next few months! We love you guys and miss you all very much!!
