Fun with Friends



We have spent the past 4 days with some wonderful friends from TN. We went to college with Chad and Becca. Becca and I were always meant to be friends- we went to High school about 5 miles from each other, our bands did a joint concert when we were freshman in high school (and we think we sat next to each other), when we got to Tech we stood beside each other (never talking, mind you) in Women's Glee, she and my roomate were partners on a project.... and it goes on and on. Yet, we always just said "hi" and went on with life until our junior year at Tech when she came to the Wesley Foundation one Wednesday... and ever since we've been truly best friends! It's really a funny God-thing story. They came up to visit this weekend and we got to hang out for the first time as married people. They got married last October, so we haven't had a chance to hang out until now. We had SO much fun! Jacob and Chad played the PS2 and really enjoyed each other's company so it gave Becca and I lots of much needed catch up time. We, of course, visited the Mall of America.. I had forgotten how much fun it is to shop at NY & Co with her! I really, really miss them and hope we're closer someday so we can spend more time together.

Ready for Spring



What a great few weeks it has been! I know, I've got to do better than one post a month! Where to begin... the first part of March started with my 1st/2nd grade program at school. It was "Bugz: A Picnic Adventure" and by far the cutest musical I've done this year. As you can see, they are all dressed as bugs and they sang SO well! I praise God for the patience to work with and organize 160 kids in 7 different classes. This musical was the most fun... but the most stress-filled.
After that, my parents came for a visit. It was great to see them.. and they got to see our 2 feet of snow! I do miss being close to them. Jacob has been working away at his applications. He will be taking the bar in TN on July 25 AND 26th. (Crazy 2 day test) He's going to be taking a bar review class in TN starting May 21st so if anyone is bored for a month, come on up and visit. I could use the company! I'm getting nervous as the summer approaches and crunch time comes for job finding and moving decisions. April 15 is our "decision deadline" and his bar final application (yep, there's 2) due date. Spring is upon us... hallelujah for 70 degree weather!!
