In the spirit of Spring...

You know how in the spring you just want to change things around? Like maybe you decide to move the couch to a different spot in the living room...or you buy new bedding...or you paint the bathroom a different colour? Well I'm in that mood but I've taken it to a smaller venue. Say hello to my blogs new look!

is it for real spring?

Man, I seriously miss blogging! It helps clear my head. I need to get a computer, but fast! Anyway, I can't stop listening to the song that everyone is talking about. You know the one, Friday by Rebecca Black. I'm not sure why I can't stop listening to it, to be quite honest it's not that great. No offense Miss Rebecca, I'm kind of a tough critic when it comes to lyrics. The fact still remains that I can't stop listening to it so I guess you win anyway! In other news, I'm going to see Steven Curtis Chapman in Concert tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! I am a fan of SCC for sure. His album, "Live Out Loud" was the first Christian CD I ever bought for myself and I listened to it all. the. time. His latest album "Beauty Will Rise" is breathtaking. I appreciate the ministry SCC has and I'm super excited to see him live! Also, spring is here! I love it! I feel like it's been winter fooooorever! I'm done with it, it was cute for a while but now it's time for other seasons to get a turn. I can't wait to take some of my favorite children puddle jumping. There's nothing quite like getting covered in cold, dirty water while wearing rubber boots! Til next time. Yeah, I've got nothing, I was going to put a funny video here but then changed my mind. Ciao for now!

spaces of time inbetween

I've done quite a bit of things since I last blogged

  • I turned the age of 70 on wii sports
  • I got minimal amounts of sleep at a weekend youth retreat
  • I broke a boys heart (which still is unbelievable to me)
  • I moved into a new house, kind of
  • I started to restore a couple of friendships that I've missed terribly
  • I decided not to go to monster trucks and regretted the decision
  • I made banana bread
  • I locked myself out of my house and car thus needing to stand outside in -12 for 1.5 hours waiting for CAA to come unlock my car, I was very thankful it wasn't -40
  • I spent a few days with a dear, dear friend of mine
  • I started playing piano
  • I decided that I am going to buy a ukulele
  • I watched To Save A Life...3 times
  • I donated blood
  • I've gone skating a few times, and every time my feet hurt something fierce
  • I ate moose heart
  • I made bush tea in mass quantities
  • I realized that my hair is getting really long
  • I had a conversation with a man who can't speak
  • I got a 4:30am phone call
  • I listened to a beautiful rendition of O Come, O Come Emmanuel
  • I made soup for my church family
  • I went bowling twice and decided it's my new favorite
  • I got to see my friends baby move in her belly and feel it as well

There's more that happened I'm sure, that's what stands out at the moment. If you have a moment check out Zephaniah 3:17...read it in the NIV if you can. It's beautiful.
