More of what's going on at our house:

(I know how much Wendy likes bullets.)
  • Jenny, the boys broke the boards with their bare feet. I couldn't get your comment to post.
  • I sang, played guitar, and read a story at Bible study this morning. It is the largest crowd I have ever played for and I have never done it all alone. I was so nervous.
  • Allister finally has a few days off without having to study. I'm stoked. I feel like I haven't seen him in forever. He wants to take the boys to Amarillo on Tuesday for a concert.
  • Our pastor called me this week and asked if Allister and I would pray about being one of the "core" people who minister at the Dream Center. I told him that I already had that in my heart. I hope the associate pastor wasn't mistaken when he told me that the services would be bilingual. I will be so disappointed if they are completely in English. I really hope we have some Spanish songs. Soy una mexicana en mi corazon. Services start there on Sunday morning.
  • Tomorrow we are having a big meeting at our home school group. I am very excited about where God is taking us with this group. We are making some really neat changes. I love this group so much and am feeling extremely grateful to be a part.
  • Jenny, your plaid couch has a new home. God brought it to our attention someone who had no furniture at all could really use it. We gave them a vacuum cleaner, too. We had two because M found a perfectly good one by the dumpster.
  • Saturday, the Dream Center is having a huge Grand Opening. Hopefully this rain will quit so that we aren't partying in the mud! I am grateful for the rain, though. I like it when there are flowers in my garden and grass in my lawn.
  • Sunday we start our life group, but I already mentioned that. I'm still wondering who will show up and what Allister's plans are. Maybe we can talk about that tonight.

For Aunt Jenny

What's going on at my house:
  • The new windows are installed. They look great. I'm looking forward to lower energy bills! Now, we've got to get those blinds back up.
  • Z and Iz are both riding bikes without training wheels. I should post pictures. Every time I get the camera hooked up to the computer, I get frustrated. I know it's simple. I just manage to mess it up.
  • We are starting a life group next Sunday at 6pm. Allister's focus is worship and healing. He's been inviting people from work, school and coffee shops. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
  • We had a plumbing issue just before the window people were supposed to show up and I spent the better part of one day sucking up water from the carpet with the steam vac. I ended up with a very sore shoulder. I still need to go back and use cleaner on it now that it's dry, but I hesitate because my shoulder is starting to feel better today and I don't want to messed that up. On the other hand, the hall is full of stuff that's supposed to be in the closet and E's room is in disarray.
  • The Dream Center is opening next week. I have more to say about that, but I will save it for later.
  • The big boys took their yellow belt tests for Tae Kwon Do. Both of them broke the board on the first try. I felt proud because not all of the kids were able to do that. (Breaking the board is just part of the test.)
  • The big boys are taking an art class in April at LCU.
  • Z got her recital costume. It's jade. I love that color.
