For Spring Break, we went to Tulsa and had a great time! We got to visit with my mom and Tiffany, David, Dee Dee and Jeremy and Bella for the first half of the week. It seems as though we eat out ALL the time---it gave my poor Gwennie a belly-ache because all she was eating was fried chicken strips and french fries. So we got her some fruits and water to clean out her system. Then the second half of the week we spent with Charlie's family. I got some quality crochet time in while March Madness was going on ;) .
Now we are back home, it's Thursday, and I am JUST NOW unpacking and separating laundry. UGH....I hate packing and unpacking equally. But now it's time to get down to business! We are gearing up, though, for ANOTHER trip to Tulsa, but this time just for the day on Saturday. We'll have to wake up bright and early so that we can be at FUMC for a 9:00 AM 5K race that Charlie is running in. Hopefully he will win some missions money for his parent's Sunday School class!!! His outfit is a RIOT, and I can't wait to post some pictures! The only concern I have is that it is supposed to SNOW, and Charlie might be a little cold in the clothes he is going to wear. But it is exciting and I can't wait to be at the start/finish line cheering my man on!
March is almost over---this semester has flown by, as I expected it would. I have already ordered Charlie's graduation announcements. Sharan and I have already organized a big shindig for celebrating this momentous occasion! It's been a long road, but SO worth it. God has opened my eyes to so many things. I have found a new inner strength that can only come from HIM, and it has taken me along an 8-year journey to find it. But I know I am still growing....and I won't stop. April will prove to be another jam-packed month, but that will make graduation come EVEN SOONER!!! I have planned a present for Charlie that I hope he will like, it's a photo book of our journey starting with the very moment we decided to have him go back to school. It will highlight travels, birthdays, holidays, fun times, and memories. I can't wait for him to see it! It's been a blast so far to make, and I'm not even past 2005 yet!
Blessings until I write again.
