long awaited...

oh where to begin. i've been delinquent in my updating and i appologize- especially to you sarah, who just wants to know what's going on in my life!  

its FREEZING outside! its so cold the hairs inside my nose froze before i was half way out the door this morning!  But today is a good day.  

For once i'm actually accomplishing my "to do" list and happy that things are getting done.  what a concept i know ;)  

later today i am going to Omaha for a every other week Bible study lunch with some fellow female DCE's.  we are reading "Messy Spirituality" by Mike Yaconelli and i'm loving it.  because i am constantly feeling like i'm not good enough.  After this fabulous break and refresher i am heading to my SECOND week of Guitar lessons and i'm loving it!  i even practiced 5/7 days from last week!  I feel completely prepared and ready to learn more!  

After guitar i was supposed to head to a basketball game for my St. Paul Bulldogs but that has been postponed til tomorrow evening so instead i have a nice break until the Varsity boy's bball game in arlington.  followed with the evening friends in faith meeting (which is basically the LWML for young women instead of grandma-y retired folk).  Speaking of LWML i was selected out of a group of applicants to be the young woman representative for the NE District North for the National LWML convention in portland oregon!!! (so call me crazy but in my world a 2 day bus trip with the old ladies is definitely out weighed by the FREE TRIP TO PORTLAND!!! 

anyways.  that's pretty much whats going on.  and now that i mentioned the whole portland thing i am reminded that i forgot to send my picture to the lady to write about in the Leaguer which is the women's own little newsletter!  Plenty of congratulations have been handed out by my own church's ladies which has greatly confused some of them men because they think i got engaged and that's why the women are congratulating me.  (alas no ring- but a free trip- i take what i can get) 

til later... or next time... :)
