I haven’t blogged in 8 months! What the what! (I have to say…this is my favorite new expression thanks to 30 Rock’s Liz Lemon! I have to be careful with it, but I do sincerely love it!).
I have been staring at the screen. So many profound thoughts flying around inside my brain (not!). I would so love to enrich your life with a saying, a quote, a scripture. Instead I am leaving you with a summary of my day. Simmer down, now….just read on!
Since a “day” is a period of 24 hours….let’s start on Friday evening. Elevate hosted a Youth Movie Night last night under the stars. We watched Mamma Mia Sing-a-long on the big screen! What fun!! At this stage of church planting, Jonathan and I are also the youth pastors. 
Soooo, it was one of those nights where the kids were along for the ride. They actually had a blast. I’m pretty sure that Emma sang and danced more than the rest of us combined! She made many new friends, most of which were 16 yr. old girls, and the boys loved eating birthday cake as we celebrated David Dye’s birthday. Ethan actually took a huge bite out of the corner of the cake as we gathered to sing. Then he found a fork and was settling in right in front of the cake. He’s funny. All-in-all it was a fun night. Owen and Colin were so proud of themselves because they helped Jonathan with all the errands preceeding the event, and also helped setup the sound system, lay down blankets, etc., etc. While they were out setting up, I was at home popping bags and bags of popcorn.
Today, Saturday, I’ve determined to clean the garage as Jonathan studies and preps for Sunday. Between the kids spilling bubbles everywhere and sprawling bikes all over the yard, I didn’t accomplish everything I’d hoped to. However – I still got a lot done!!!! I think the last time I blogged was when we moved into our house. So here it’s been 8 months since I blogged, yet we are STILL MOVING INTO OUR HOUSE! I’ve made it a goal to accomplish one thing per week over the summer. We have a long list of projects, but I’m sure if I break it down we’ll accomplish a lot this summer.
Better run. We are loading up the kids for our Saturday Smoothie Drive, as we call it. Booster Juice has $3 smoothies all day on Saturdays, so we all get our antioxidants while driving around putting out the Elevate Church signs for Sunday’s service.
Later.
