Somehow, time has flown in such a way that one-fourth of the year 2014 is almost over. . . let that sink in for a minute. So, here's what has happened so far this year (or at least since I last blogged):
- Christmas came and went. It was glorious! Great gifts, baking bonanza, time off with the family. Could not have asked for more.
- New Year's Eve - fellowship and games, and prayed in the New Year with some of my favorite people. All prepped for a great year of promise!
- January included some work travel. Who goes to Calgary in January? This girl. Nothing like standing at the window in your hotel room on the 23rd floor of a strange city, looking out and seeing life happen - to remind you how small we really are! So thankful for grace and home and snow boots.
- February - the month of LOVE. Took a 7 day cruise with The Hubs. Can you say 'Fabulous?' It was! Especially since about 75% of the crowd was over 60 - I felt young and like I looked very good in my swimsuit! One of the waiters asked us if we were on our honeymoon - we laughed and shocked him when we told him we had been married almost 17 years. And admitted that yes, we were married in our pre-teens. The house got a good cleaning because the parents came and kept the fort standing while we were gone. I really like those parents!
- March - started with a bang (as in birthday bang) - I am now just a few (as in 12) short months away from the dreaded 4-0. Oh well. Beats the alternative. Had a great time with my gang - family, friends and church. Got two cakes (the white cake with strawberries and whipped cream icing from HEB is the winner - sorry, Sam's chocolate cake). Gained pounds that I don't want to talk about. But had an all around great time! Got a new vacuum (hello Shark!) DISCLAIMER: I did not get a vacuum cleaner from my husband for my birthday. It was simply because we needed a new vacuum cleaner and I was whinier around my birthday.
And that leads us to today. March 11th. The middle of Spring Break for the boys - they are getting geared up for Intense - woohoo! The windows are open and I am avoiding cooking dinner because - what should I cook?! All in all, this year has been good to us and I am truthfully looking forward to the rest of it!
Much love
