Wow. So this is what my blog looks like. It's been so long, it took me a minute to recognize it. I have been just a tiny bit BUSY! Let's see if I can catch up a bit on all the latest news, in no specific order. Sit down and grab a tasty beverage. This will be long. And arduous. It won't surprise me if you fall asleep mid post. Just make sure to set your drink down first. Here is my official 2011 List of Insane Busyness.
1. It's warming up, and Spring is in the air! (Except for the snowflakes we're supposed to see on Thursday, but we are NOT GOING TO DISCUSS THAT.) We've been venturing outdoors again, slowly but surely...
Riding bikes,
Playing at the playground,
Going to the zoo.
2. When it's deceivingly and disappointingly chilly outside, we find indoor places to play and be entertained...
Watching tv with Daddy,
Breakfast at Bob Evans with Mommy and Daddy,
Bounce houses with friends,
3. We watch a lot of tv. Usually one movie or show over and over and over and over for weeks on end. Our two recent favorites have been...
Fantastic Mr. Fox
and
Shaun the Sheep
4. We quite enjoy our time with friends, whether it's at small group, play dates, church, random meetings, not so random stalker meetings, or anywhere else. (I'm kidding.) Not all of our friends are pictured here. I don't have pictures of EVERYONE, dangit! Don't feel left out!

Leen and Lassiter
5. Not only do we spend time with friends. Naturally, we spend time together. And we enjoy it immensely.
Valentines Day
6. We eat. A lot. Probably too much. Don't judge. I've been trying to make more exciting meals lately, but don't have photo documentation. Yet.
7. We play with our doggies. We love them. Very much. Probably too much. Don't judge.
8. My parents flew Audrey and I out to California in February, one last time before they move to Mongolia. No, you didn't read that wrong. They leave at the end of this month... only a week away. I have mixed feelings about it, only because I will miss them. The Lord has great things planned though, and I am excited for them to be used in that great country!

We missed Daddy. But we kept in touch.
9. I may not have pictures to prove it, but I'm writing a book. Yeah. It's 2-3 years in the making now. I've got about 200 pages so far and I'd say I'm about 3/4 of the way through. That's all I'm gonna say, but I'm really excited about it despite the fact that it's slow going.
10. There has been a LOT of music in this house lately. It's wonderful. Once again I have no photos to prove it, however, I am officially on the New Life Church worship team! I play keys for a specific team and am a fill in for vocals (alto or tenor) when the need arises. It has been quite a journey thus far and I have only been up there on two different weekends. It is already a fulfilling ministry, one that I am glad and excited to be a part of. I can see where the Lord will grow me and help me face some things that have been stuffed down or stagnant for years. Already I am drawn closer to Him by being at church more, getting to know the folks there, and being involved in such a great team. On top of all that, I am playing the piano again, a lot more than I have for years. Eric and I play and sing together, and we spend more time together now that we are both involved in worship arts. Overall it's a very good addition to my life.

There is probably more to add to this already massive list, but right now I am too exhausted to think of anything. I'll try my very best to stay more on top of this blogging thing. And WOW is it time for a visual overhaul! Hopefully that will happen soon. Love ya'll! :)
