Miscellaneous

OMGosh, so busy but it's all good stuff!

Jamie ended up staying home from church this weekend to study. And it was just as well he didn't go to church because the senior high class he was going to talk to about the pride parade were in church so the seniors could graduate out of the program. Such amazing kids come out of this church! It's a good place for our kids.

Jordan and I started planting our container garden last night. This year we're doing tomatoes, serranos, jalapenos, bell peppers, lettuce, and cucumbers.

We're busy planning our trip to Texas that will happen this July. I'm so excited! We're going to spend our days eating Texmex and German food, visiting various historical things because that's what you do (we'll definitely hit the very boring Alamo just because Jamie and Sammy have to see it) and I want to make it down to Galveston so the kids can swim in the ocean. Jellyfish, here we come!

The girlies are out of school next Friday and they are definitely counting the days. Jamie's studying like mad and his test is Tuesday, June 3. It's definite that I'm going to be the social justice chairperson for our church so I'm very excited about that. It's a year-long commitment and it's really going to be a growth experience for me because in addition to running meetings and planning events, I'm going to be doing some public speaking and I have to write a social justice article every two weeks for the church newsletter. And we're marching in the pride parade on June 14th and that's all coming together nicely. Oh, and Beverly and Walter are visiting on the 15th!

Ok, so if you're in Texas or vicinity, we want to see you this July! Local friends and family, expect tomatoes, etc. and everyone, the kids are making crafts so expect a box of potholders, bracelets, magnets, etc. coming your way! And one lucky household might just get a special prize in their Box O' Crafts--a beagle!!
