Thanks a lot Barb...

So I guess we cant wear jeans on friday anymore...

Super Easter!

What a wonderful Easter! Church was a blast - two services with the kids dying eggs and one service of celebratory worship and I was POOPED! Each kid in Sunday school got to color an egg and make a basket, then we sang a rousing edition of "Jump Into The Light" and heard the story of the Resurrection eggs. The kids loved it!

After church we headed over to Lisa's for an awesome Easter lunch. Ham, cheesy potatoes, green beans, cheesy toast, deviled eggs and spinach dip. Our friends the 'J' family came over and we hunted for eggs with the kids! they are a crackup! we ate some awesome strawberry shortcake Sheri brought then settled in for dozing while the kids played - chalk it up to an awesome but tiring Easter...

I hit the road tomorrow after teaching class all day - first stop: glamorous Stockton California...

Honduras

Oh yea - after much prayer and fasting I feel God allowing me to go back to Honduras. I had such an awesome time 2 years ago with the people - I can't wait to go back. I am mentally preparing for it as it's only 3 months away...

Please pray for me!

Everything Wrong and Easter...

I got this ad in the mail yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it.

EVERYTHING is wrong in this picture - first of all the mom and daughter are sitting in a very strange pose together - honestly who sits like that with their children, second what is the mom looking at? And C why is the daughter drinking a glass of water on their fake grass? And finally why is there a suggestion to let good ole' fido sit on the grass below the creepy mom and daughter. If he takes a poo on the fake grass it probably won't come out, and it's not like you can hose it off like real grass... WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE THINKING!

Well enough of that - tomorrow is Easter and I am SO JAZZED! I love Resurrection day! Probably the only Sunday of the year I wear a tie to church, I cant wait to see all the kids dressed up in their "Easter best" We are going to dye the 100 eggs I just boiled before bed (yawn), hear a story and sing... should be super fun time!

Boring week...

Hmmm nothing exciting happening - I made up with my sister, then got into another fight with her... work work... hmmmm

Here is a picture of a little girl who loves cheese - mmmm I like grilled cheese too...

Phoenix Sucks

Sorry to y'all in Phoenix but yer city is a gross dump... My fantastic work travels took me to Phoenix Arizona this week (land of my Mom) and it was horrible... between the chapped lips, wind and dust I was over it about 15 min after I landed... I stayed in the glamorous Goodyear Holiday Inn express (not into Navajo themed dumps). Dusted off my sandals and got back on the plane for cali... good bye and good riddance... I am going to Sacramento in 2 weeks - Im not excited about that either

Babies

Nicole sent me some valuable information yesterday that I thought I would share. It is the proper way to lift a baby. Now I have been teaching pre-schoolers in Sunday School for years now so I know how to handle them but this is important for those of us who do not deal with babies on a regular basis:
Thanks Nicole - you may have helped save a baby...

250

How is it already March?!? Anyway Monday was 250 days since I quit smoking...

Now one of the VPs of the company I work for promised to pay me $1000 when I had stayed quit for a year. Funny thing - he said it on a whim thinking I would never take him up on it... June 26th is not that far off... I think I'm going to get ZOOM whitening done when he pays up....
