The Rest...

It occurred to me I have more to write.

Yesterday, I got my new Social Security card in the mail - complete with my new last name. How rad! And I got a note saying that the rest of my silverware is at the post office. So I'll go get that later.

I'm on the "assimilation team" at Vineyard. I think there's 5 of us. The goal is to help new people get involved and really find a home in their new church. Not so complicated. But I had no earthly idea what that would entail when I agreed to do it and I'm in over my head. There's some work I can totally handle. I'm very comfortable and confident with PADS. We're talking right now about me taking over a leadership role with it for the summer. But this team I'm on I'm swamped under. It's not at all the people (all of whom I was already friends with). It's just the nature of what we're doing. Maybe that's not very specific. But anyway, it's stressing me.

Vineyard has a Good Friday service coming up that's being done by the church's arts group. Our friend, John, is in charge of that group. So we've been hearing bits and pieces about it. David and I are both laughing 'cause neither of us has ever been to a Good Friday service and we have no clue what one really is. But this oughta be good. We have a very high number of artists and musicians in our house group. I'm not sure how many of them will be directly involved. Everyone's looking forward to it though.

Ya know, I guess the 3 things that never end are cooking, dishes, and laundry. They're like the only 3 housework things you can't procrastinate on. I'm glad I like at least one. We'd otherwise starve to death. However, I've noticed a catch; the more food I have cooked and ready, the faster I seem to get hungry. Anybody else notice this problem?

Ok. That's all.

New Study

Hey Moms,

Click on "Our Church's Site" on the right, then on "Women's Ministry." It'll take you to a new Bible study called "Is Your Mouth Saved?" I just signed up for the Wed, 9:30 class. I'll have something to do with GIRLS while David's at work!!! Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!! And I can just stroll over there. It's 15 or 20 minutes. Beautiful!

Socialization

I just found something that answers my last nagging question about homeschooling. Not only did it make me understand, but it's so funny! So, if any of you are interested, I put the link on the right side. It's at the bottom of the link list.

I So Proud!

Yeah, so I just had lunch at David's office (the catered thing). On the way out the door, his boss stopped us to tell me how proud of my husband I should be! Referring to something specific David just finished, he said that not many people could do what he just did for one of the largest companies in the world and that he'd done such a great job.

Haha David! I'm braggin' on you publicly! You can't stop me!

Being Social

Since I've gone so long without posting (You win, Bethany), I'll give y'all the update:

I spent all Friday with a friend and her 4 kids, and her friend and 6 kids. 8 boys. 2 girls. A very interesting day. I'd never been face-to-face with a family that large and I loved watching how the kids took care of each other. It wasn't how kids usually treat each other.

Saturday night we went to church for the sake of socializing. Yeah, really. All who went got to go have a free meal at Chipotle afterward. So we jam-packed Chipotle after church. We sat with Perry and Laura. (Same lady I was with Friday, the couple whose house we have group at.) Then we all went out for ice cream.

Sunday morning I worked PADS just for an hour, we had church, and then we had a birthday party for one of the guys in our group. But we bailed out early because we were both half awake.

At 12:30 today, an Italian place is bringing lunch for David's office and the spouses are coming. David dropped his biz card in a big bucket when we went there for our anniversary, and he won!

David has had a bad cold, but I think it's clearing up. I am currently fighting something that feels like the first 2 days of flu. Whatever it is, it's in my lungs. I can feel it.

And we're going grocery shopping tonight. Or David is if I'm flat-out sick by then.

Just so no one feels too bad for the kitten; they're buddies. I have another pict of the 2 nursing together. Skunklette was abandoned or something.

Tis all.
