So... yeah..
Here I am.... everyone happy now??? lol
I didn't think you'd all miss me.
So, how has everyone been doing lately? No doubt most of you are enjoying warm weather... And we are too... well... if 40 degrees consitutes as warm weather. lol

Here goes... I'll post a few pictures to try and let you know what I've been up to lately..



"Saturday Night Alive" ... a sort of kid's club that my youth group has started at my church. Every Saturday night for kids 5-12. For parents, it's free babysitting, but for us, it's a ministry.
We play games, have worship time and a lesson during class time. We had 27 kids last week. Some are kids from church, but the majority are kids from the community, so that is very exciting!



My youth group's annual basketball tournament to raise money for our summer missions trip.This year we're going to Kentucky to do some work at a summer camp.




Went to a "Seder" (Passover) Meal... at a friends house.. Quite interesting.. and yes, I am aware that you're supposed to have unleavened bread, and we did! But this was some "regular" bread that we ate afterwards... the glasses were just so pretty. lol





I'm still teaching the Preschool Sunday School class at church... which is always an  adventure.  I usually have 6 or 7 girls.. and this week we actually had a boy!!!


In other news... I leaving next Thursday, April 10th to fly to Tulsa, OK (YAY!) to see all my friends out there.. and then from there flying to Dallas, Tx for IPS, which is a photography course. Yay! After that I fly back to Tulsa for a few days and then come home on Tuesday, the 22nd. (My little brother's 15th birthday!!!)

So yep...
Now for a few random quotes/stories.. because I know you guys have missed them..

The other week, Jess was helping 8 year old Susanna with her school work. Susanna was learning about the lungs, and how they help us breathe.
Jess: "So, we breathe in oxygen and we breathe out...?"
Susanna: "....Microsoft! I mean.. carbon dioxide."

Me: "Matty, don't go picking up girls in Florida now, think of whatshername.. Rachel.... Rebecca... Leah..."
Matt B.: "Rachel, and she'll still be here.
Me: "MATT! No more picking up the 'H"i, I'm 15 and fun' girls"
Linz: "Yeah, Matt, stay away from those "Fun Girls"... you know how much trouble Andy Griffith got into with them."
Matt B.: "I haven't seen that one, but it sounds like it went really.... wrong."

Alyssa: "The problem is, when I am helping a cute customer (which is rare) I have to pay attention or else I'm like "huh? I'm sorry. You are just so HOT"

Jess: "I approve of him for you, and will totally help you catch him."
Me: "Yeah, you'll help him.. right down the aisle! YOUR aisle!"

Me: "You know what, I think he deserves a song."
Jess: "You're right, someone that beautiful neeeeeeds a song."

Ang: "It's really weird seeing your pastor in a bathing suit.."
Jess: "Ahhhhh!"
<silence>
Me: "So... Ang, when you say 'bathing suit..."
Jess: "NO!!! "
Me: "I just wanna know.. I mean.. what color was it?"
Beth -screaming the background "Guys!!! Stop!!!!!!"
Ang: "Ah! I don't even know... I... yeah... I'm trying to forget!"

Matt S.: "You'll find me dead in my office with 472 stabs made with a pen, a blue pen so you know it wasn't a man."

Jess: "Bald is the new sexy!"
Me: "Totally.... I so don't have a problem with bald. I mean, at least you already know what he looks like bald and it's not a problem."

Me: "I'm so over boys. I only like men now."



Alright... that's most of it for now... k?  Everyone happy?
