A Long Overdue Update

Well...it's been a while since I've taken the time to post so I decided to do it today (seeing as how we don't have school due to yet another storm that hit us...we now have one day to make up). Those of you who are used to the "blog way" of doing things know that you always read from the bottom up, but I decided since it's been so long & I have so much to tell, I'm going to do things a bit differently. I'm just going to make one long post & try to go in order. :-) Hope you don't get bored!

The Lion King

Last Friday night, Jeromy, Traci, Connie & I went to see The Lion King at the Stranahan Theater in Toledo (Jeromy, Traci & I have season tickets), and it was amazing! I enjoying watching most musicals, but I was totally awed by this one - the costumes, the actors, the singing...the list could go on & on. It was a fabulous show, and I'm so thankful I was able to see it. If any of you have the chance to go, I would definitely recommend it (and if you can afford it, you might even want to pay the extra for aisle seats on the floor so you can have the "animal" experience). I found a short video clip from Disney's site that gives you a small taste of what we got to experience. If you're interested, click here to see it.

Working the Corner...Again

Now don't go thinking any bad thoughts about me...I was holding a sign for our levy! :-) I say "again" because we originally put it up in November, and I blogged about that experience then. Unfortunately it didn't pass so we had to try again yesterday (Mar. 4th). Praise the Lord...it passed! That's great news because my job was on the cut list if the levy failed. But...now back to the reason for this post. Back in November, it was called "100 mins. for education" so they had each group hold the sign for 100 mins. You'll read in my post that it was very cold & rainy - a bit miserable, but...this time our shift was 4 hours. Yes...I said 4...f-o-u-r! I was layered beyond belief & thought I was prepared when I left my house, but nothing can prepare you for 4 hours outside the end of February. Needless to say I came home & soaked in a hot bath for over an hour to warm up. But...it was all worth it! :-)



Lauren's Mac & Cheese Face

Saturday night I met Jodi & Lauren for supper before heading to Genoa's basketball game. Lauren cracks me up, and I have so much fun when I'm with her. Jodi's been such a great mom & has raised a fabulous little girl! Lauren loves to have me take pictures of her so she can see them, and Saturday was no different so I took a picture of her face when she got done eating her mac & cheese. She cracked up when she was the pictures. :-)







I have more to tell & pictures to post, but this is acting up & won't let me add any more photos so I'm going to quit for the evening, and I'll do part two tomorrow. :-)
