Happy Birthday, Kelly!

So tired…
Had a fun day today. I mean yesterday. Took Aidan to the doctor. He’s doing fine. Average height, and skinny. Skinny like his mama. 🙂 The doctor told me that I’m doing a good job and to keep doing what I’m doing.
Came home and decided to clean the entire upstairs. So far:
[x] Loft
[x] Guest Room – check
[x] Aidan’s Room – check
[x] Green Bathroom – check
Then I went to Kelly’s wedding shower. I can’t believe she’s going to be my sister-in-law in fewer than 2 weeks. (This is a different Kelly than the one I mentioned in the previous entry. I’m now talking about Kelly H.)
Afterwards, I got home. Chris and Aidan were not here yet, so I decided to clean some more. I blasted Jessica Simpson’s CD, and went to town:
[x] Master Bathroom (including the water closet and soaking tub)
I didn’t get much done to the rest of the bedroom. My closet is still a fall-down mess. I don’t forsee anytime in the near future to get it taken care of, either. Oops. Hope I can rustle up something cute to wear to Sunday school and church. I’m thinking capris and a cute top. Which top is the question.
Around 6, we headed over to Chad & Christy’s for dinner. They live not even five minutes from us. That is awesome. While I was there, I checked my phone and darling Kim had left me a voicemail.
I love my friends.
Speaking of, I really need to hang out with yoimemily soon. Emily, I can hang out after 10 usually during the week. Weekends are pretty much wide open–I’ll let you know if they are not. Let’s make some plans. 🙂
Dinner was incredible. Chad can COOK. I mean… Yummmmm. :þ I had a hamburger with colby jack cheese, bacon, ketchup and mustard. And some yummy Italian pasta salad. Good food, good times. I look forward to hanging out with them more.
Now, I need to get to bed. But I want to post some pictures first. 🙂 Check them out here: Randomness

YEA!
Damascus was amazing. The format was a bit different tonight. Instead of it being just like any other church service, it was more of a discussion forum. Kelly and Garth led worship with two really good songs, then we broke down into four small groups and discussed friendships and relationships. It was very good. My group consisted of Josh, Ruthie, Kim, Matt, John (with the awesome hair), Tyler, Kelly, and myself, of course. Lots of good conversation. I was disappointed when it was over. Time went so quickly!
Kelly and Garth sang one song to close us out. Poor Kelly was sick and probably didn’t feel much up to it. She managed to sound good anyway. Gosh, if I could sing half as well as she can when she’s SICK, that would be awesome!
Afterwards, there were snacks (which I indulged in, WAH), and then we played volleyball. I didn’t do so well this time. But we had fun and it was good times. Kim and I ended up talking for a long time afterwards–it was great to have that extra time with her!
I was excited to come home because another mini-gamenight was in store for us. Quincy, Lauren, Corey, Bob, David, and Craig all came over. We played Family Feud, Scattegories (I came in THIRD this time! Oh, the shame!), and Chris made some prank phone calls. Quality time, man.
I need to get to bed. Got a busy people-filled day tomorrow. 🙂 Later!

I Want To Always Feel Like This
I’ve had the most amazing two weeks ever. THIS is God’s glory. Just the people I’ve met and talked to, the friends I’ve gotten to connect with, the small and large blessings that have occurred–it’s been incredible.
Friday night was Life Group, and after that was a “mini game night.” Craig, Bob, Lauren and Quincy came over and we played Scattegories. It was so much fun. I lost to Craig. My first time ever losing!! I got 2nd place. But next time, I won’t play so nicely. Teehee.
SO WATCH OUT, CRAIG!
Yesterday, I got to meet with a writer friend of mine–I always have a fun, fun time with her. Then, I went to Kelly’s graduation party (congrats again, for the 238439487th time, hon!). That was a lot of fun. I played volleyball in the pool with her dad, and he’s just a great teammate and a fun person all around. ESPECIALLY since we won all 3 games we played. Woo.
Today was Sunday school. We’re starting a new series based on the “When Godly People Do Ungodly Things” book. I’m really excited about this. It’s all about watching out for the “seduction” of sin and stuff like that. Should be quality learning there. I have homework every single night for that class, too. I’m looking forward to the extra time with God.
After Sunday school was church, and after that, the awesome Katie (live4himalways) and I went to see Shrek 2 (Great movie, I totally recommend it), and we had lunch at Subway. That was a lot of fun.
Since Chris and Aidan were at the zoo, I got the chance to take a nap when I got home. Then I went to Crosstrainers, which was amazing. There were tons of people visiting, and the worship band we had was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I mean, WHOA. They really got us going there. It was good times.
My two weeks have been wonderful. Taking on additional responsibility with Damascus–working with people I have a lot of respect for (like Garth!) to just take the group to a whole new level is exciting and a little bit scary as well. It’s a huge thing. Having the chance to spend time with Emily (yoimemily) and Bizzy (otaku_witch) has been a blessing. I don’t know. I just can’t describe how much I enjoy my new friends. And my old ones. And the ones in between.
(I miss Tami).
I know that Christians are not to expect to be happy all the time. The walk of a Christian is riddled with hardships and difficulties. But it’s times like the past several days where I feel like it’s worth it. God is definitely moving in my life. And I love it. All of it.
So, right now, it’s starting to storm, and I’m hungry for spaghetti. Drat. I can’t shower/bathe tonight because of the lightening, so I have to wake up early tomorrow. Boo. Well, that’s okay. It’s all good!
Night night!
P.S. I hope J-Lowe didn’t infect me with his poison Ivy!
