Slacking

I haven't written in a while - and I could give you a long list of excuses, but it doesn't really matter. There's been a lot going on and I've (once again) neglected my blog.

So, a few things I'm excited about...

I'm really pumped about our small group. I can hardly keep myself from telling everyone about it. We started as a group of people who didn't know each other (hadn't ever even seen each other!) and we've been together since February. The growth in this group of people has been incredible.

I'm most excited about the idea of many, many more people being able to experience this kind of community and spiritual growth. This summer we're having two large group gatherings for anyone in our church (or community) who's in the 20-30-somethings age range and interested in getting in a small group. For those of you in the area, more info will be coming out soon at church, but the dates are June 18th and July 9th from 6:30-8:30pm. Entrance fee = nonperishable food that will be donated to a local food shelf.

We're also having a girls' book club this summer (thanks to Bloom Book Club for inspiring the idea!). We will be officially choosing the book at the end of the week. Can't wait to grow in a new way with this lovely group of ladies!!!

In other news, Jordan and I are heading to Neenah, WI to spend Mother's Day with my grandma who lives there. We haven't seen her since our wedding last October, so some good quality time is on the menu! It's still really surreal to us to book a hotel room together. One of the many perks of marriage. :-)

We have some great friends getting married this summer and I'm already so looking forward to celebrating with them!

Oh, and have I mentioned my great friend, Christa, who's due with her first baby in July? We had a super fun baby shower for her a couple weeks ago. It's been fun to watch her gain that baby glow over the past few months. Can hardly wait to meet the little guy!!!

I'm happy to announce that I will have at least four piano students starting lessons in the fall. I'm hoping to grow the studio gradually over the next year, with hopes that I'll be able to do that full time sometime soon! For more details, check this out.

I could go on and on, but Jordan needs me to go to JoAnn's with him to buy velcro (haha, men these days), so we're off to run a few errands!

Nice to be back in blog-world!
