Zumba...

Okay, the girls talked me in to taking a Zumba class at the Y. So we headed out last night. I was ready! It's a "dance" class...you know, the one where you do high impact aerobics to their kind of music. I was not going to be outdone. They had prepared me by telling me to go to the restroom before class because they knew I would laugh so hard...well, they just knew I'd need to go to the restroom first.
Let me tell you, there was no stopping me. I got those moves down. No girl of mine was going to out "dance" me. No sir. I never missed a beat. I was so proud of myself. I thought, I'll bet my girls are thinking "wow, our mom is so cool...look at her go". We had a great time.
As we left, I said "well, how did I do?" Their answer, "you did okay, Mom".
A big lesson in humility....

Day with Grandma...

Last Sunday morning I was able to go to Goldsboro to see my nephew in the production of Beauty and the Beast. This is his senior year and last production...for now! I was blown away at the talent of these kids. I would rank it right up there with the Disneyworld production I saw years ago. Andrew is my sister, Karen's son. He played the role of Beast. It was amazing and I'm so glad I was able to go. From there, my sister and I went to Virginia to visit with my grandma. What a highlight that was for me! We went over to her home and spent the entire day on Monday with her. The excitement on her face when we walked in and surprised her was worth the entire trip. We sat on her bed talking and laughing. Our sister, Kristi, was able to join us for several hours also. She's the one who taught me to cook, sew, and crochet...not that I do any of those now except cook! What a precious grandma she's been!

Journey 2009...

Our church is encouraging the congregation to read through the New Testament in 2009. Scott and I have chosen to do this together. It's been great for us to be able to read God's Word each morning before work. What's been even better is our prayer time together. This has made such an amazing difference in our marriage. It's also increased our prayer life for others. We take out our prayer cards each morning and pray over the needs of those who have asked us to pray.
What a privilege it is to read and pray with my husband each morning...it's a great way to start the day!

Psalm 55:17 "Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice".
