Whoa!!!

Okay, I had NO idea that its been this long since I updated my blog. I've been even busier than I thought! I'm sure this will be incomplete, but obviously anything that I don't remember to update you on is not very important. :)

First things first; I have fallen in love.


I spent last weekend visiting my friend Catherine, her husband Scott and their two kids; Ephraim and Elizabeth. :) Every time I visit my friends, my biggest fear is always that their kids wouldn't like me. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about with these kids! They love me almost as much as I love them!! I had an amazing visit, getting to hang out with my oldest friend (we've been friends since 1st grade! 23 years!!!) and glean a lot of wisdom from her and her husband. I felt so loved and taken care of! And of course, the icing on the cake... their AWESOME kids! I seriously had SO much fun playing with them and listening to Elizabeth's sweet giggles. I could have easily stayed a week! (Except, of course, I missed my girls a lot).

Other than that, most of life has just been normal, which means pretty busy. An update on all the craziness:

House: We have had tons of people come and see the house (close to 20 showings!) Its been on the market for about 2 months, and the realtor expected it to be sold in 1-3 months, so hopefully we will get an offer soon! Its still somewhat stressful to keep the house clean ALL the time. We are definitely ready to move!

Car: Still no car, so we're getting a lot more exercise. I've been looking at potential cars, but nothing can really happen until I sell my house. So, we keep waiting.

Health: I wore a 24 hour heart monitor (also known as a halter monitor) all day yesterday and I turned it in this morning. I have a doctor's appointment next week to go over the results from my blood tests and the halter monitor. More waiting. :)

The Girls: Cyber School is still going well! Its still a lot of work for all of us and in some ways we are still adjusting to the schedule. Mainly, the self-paced classes are difficult to balance. But, we're getting there.

AIM: BUSY. That's about all I can say about that. I am extremely busy.

Ministry: We had 83 kids at Kids Club last night! And 30 of them were visitors! It was insane and AWESOME! We had 18 kids at Prayer Pals tonight, including several new pals. THRiVE has started (our after-school program that is run mainly by Philadelphia Biblical University students) and the kids are loving it. We had the God Squad retreat this past weekend and it was probably the best retreat I have ever been a part of! Things are, of course, not always perfect, but I am really loving ministry right now!

I think that's about it. See why I haven't updated in a while? Its pretty much life as usual. Well, until tomorrow night when the girls, Ashley and I are traveling to Baltimore to see So You Think You Can Dance LIVE!!!! Its all of our favorite show and we are SO EXCITED! Its also the first time in a LONG time that we have done something fun together. Life is so busy, we are so excited to just relax and have fun!!
