since the last post

well, i'm still not doing so hot keeping this updated....so sorry.

since the last post, we celebrated drew's birthday! friday night we got bambi to watch lana (really had to twist her arm! haha) and we went to a movie. we saw date night, which was very funny. afterwards, we headed over to patrizio's for some yummy dinner. this is how i know we're getting old...drew and i were back from our dinner & a movie date by 930. oh man. amazing. we're gonna have to work on that one! i got him an iphone for his birthday...i hit a home run with that one! he was literally jumping up and down. so of course, i was pretty stinkin excited for him!

since the last post, drew has started P90X and is kickin it's rear! really, i'm so stinkin proud of him. i'm listening to him do a video now...as i sit on my rear and relax. we've both been doing so much better at working out. a typical night goes like this--we put lana to bed, drew starts his video, i go for a 3 mile run, and then we regroup and hit the sack. i'm sleeping so good lately!

since the last post, i was promoted! i'm now in a store planner role. my most recent position was an allocator--i was in charge of sending the merchandise to the stores. my new role will be more like the merchandise planner job i had at zales. i'm in charge of the financial plan--sales, receipts, and inventory--for all jcpenney stores for the men's, kid's, and athletic shoes. i'm pretty nervous about it, because it's a big responsibility. but i'm so happy to get back to planning! yay!

since the last post, i'm having so many spiritual revelations! i'm realizing how fundamentalist i really was growing up....how it was all about following the rules to make sure God "smiled" on you. now i realize that my God is not the way some (joel osteen, for example) choose to portray Him. He does not promise an easy life just for following the rules. He does promise to find a way to make you press in to him. this sounds so obvious as i'm typing it, but i think i really missed that growing up. i LOVE what i'm learning and i LOVE that drew and i are both really in a state of hunger for what the word says. we're learning so much and really growing spiritually.

since the last post, we've just really been loving life. drew's done with sports, it's nearing the end of the school year, the weather has been amazing, and we're getting some real quality time as a family. it's so much fun!


ready for the day!

loving balloons!

quick! grab the camera! she didn't pull her bow out! (YET!)

hope you've all been doing well....since the last post!
