A LOT HAS HAPPENED!

So it's been a while since my last post (why cannot i not keep up with this as much as i am on the computer?!). Since then we have had yet another snow day that did result in actual snow, but not nearly as much as we got last year! Also since my last post the SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!!! It was AMAZING!! It was just Carter, Andrew and me watching cozy in our house (Gabby fell asleep in our bed watching The Sound of Music) but we had SO MUCH FUN and were on the edge of our seats! (It was a close game almost the entire time.) Also on Superbowl Sunday we dedicated our children and family as a whole at Healing Place Church. We were so pround to make a public commitment to raising our family for God's glory. Before the service we hosted a brunch at our home. We thought this would be a great time to get the family together and also for some of our family who has never been to experience our church, which is such a big part of our life.

Carter and I, along with John and Adrienne, have started leading a monthly connect group for married couples. We started in January and in March we (should) have our first couple!! We are blessed to have amazing "coaches," David and Lisa Latona, to guide and support us on this journey! They are so down to earth, easy to talk to and just plain fun! As part of becoming leaders in the church we are also taking a leadership development class on Sunday mornings. We had to miss the first because of the family dedication and I had to miss the 2nd because Andrew had fever. So this past Sunday was my first class. I am really looking forward to it. I think it is going to really challenge me to get it in gear when it comes to not only reading, but studying the Bible daily.

Other than that, life is great!! We are looking forward to a very busy spring. Gabby is turning 5 in a couple of weeks and we are having a blowout birthday bash at Jump-n-Jive!!
