Season three of soccer started on Sunday, and we actually won. Ha! We had 15 girls show up, a record so far, and hopefully they all stay committed to playing this season. Most of our players are in their mid twenties, my friend Kim and I being the oldest, Kim is 41 (and an ex body builder), and I'm 36. Maybe we can place higher than 11th this time. It's possible!
Tyler went away with the junior high students to winter camp this weekend. It was his first time doing something like this, and he was a little nervous. As a matter of fact, I got a text late Friday night from him saying "pick me up". I called, he said his tummy was upset and he was homesick. I told him that he would be ok, the people he was with are like family and trustworthy, and unfortunately, I was not driving the two hours to come get him. He agreed to tough it out. I called my friend the director, and she had gone and comforted him some more, giving him a little encouragement, and a hug or two. By the next morning, he was all smiles again and that was that. He was glad he went and can't wait for summer revival. I love our church.

I hope this week proves to be a little less busy than last week. Life's been crazy, Brett's got all kinds of work right now, church is gearing up for all our Easter programs, the kids ministry is changing policies and procedures due to growth, and we are in planning for all our summer camps, so there's lots going on at my work these days too. It's a good busy. We have a few trips planned over the next few weeks, camping included, and my sweet husband just bought me a dirt bike so I would be inclined to spend more time with him. I'm kind of excited about it, I don't like sitting around at camp like a bored housewife.
Today I finished reading Jane Eyre again, I forgot how much I love that book. It's beautiful and dark and real. As much as I love Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte is easier to identify with and she paints such a vivid and colorful story, her characters are deep and flawed. The theology is sound. I was inspired to read it because I saw that a new Jane movie is coming out next month. It looks promising. Maybe I'll read Wuthering Heights again now. Maybe not. Anyways, heres some random pictures from last week:
My husband does not look as scared as he ought to right here.
Home fellowship, I made creme brûlée and taught one of our friends kids to use a torch.
While on the elliptical, I saw puppy bring this poor thing in the house. Puppy was making a beeline for my room, glad I caught her.
Got to love on a friends new baby this week, so sweet! My ovaries are screaming that we should acquire another one of these.
Pretty baby niece Aubrey, turning one this week, heading to northern California to see her and help celebrate her birthday.

My little brother David showed up at my house unexpectedly, he drove all the way from S. Lake Tahoe and I didn't know he was coming. He said he was, but I didn't believe him because he's the king of BS. This time he wasn't kidding. And I wasn't home when he got here, haaaa! Dave is the resident DJ at a casino up in Tahoe, and I guess he gets three days in a row off sometimes. So he finally decided to bring the boys their Christmas presents. In February. I think his main motivation was to go skydiving in Elsinore. He's working on some certifications and likes to jump out of planes all over the west coast. I believe he's at around 250 jumps so far. Anyways, David is my baby brother and I rarely get the opportunity to make his life miserable anymore, so I took his sleeping on the couch as my chance to ruin his slumber. Didn't really work out so well, he was just confused instead of mad. :(
