Recital, housesitting, and more!

Well, it was a busy weekend! We had the dance recital for the preschool at CLC on Saturday (rehearsal was Friday). It went very well, other than the fact that they were renovating (due to a miscommunication between the daycare people & the pastor). Amelia & I did a dance medley together - I am so sore even though I stretched! I also landed on something on my knee since the stage was not finished - lovely golf ball-sized knot on my knee! Saturday, we came over to my parents to house-sit for the week. They left on Saturday for Canada for work/vacation. Sunday was busy as usual, with church at Calera in the morning and our new church in the evening. We are working on doing some really fun things to get out in the community, some of which include a mini-VBS, Friday Flicks at Veteran's Park in Alabaster, a Memorial Day party, and City Fest. If you want more info on any of these, you can go to www.ChristGarden.com. The website is in the process of being remodeled, but the info is still there. It's going to be a lot of work, but a lot of fun too! I never realized just how much was involved in starting a new church, but Trav & Becca have been really great sharing the process with everyone. Yes we are still very small, and no we don't have a building yet, but it is has been a blessed experience so far. Sometimes God leads you one place so that He can get you to the right place (we had a long conversation Sunday night about that). Anyway, enough of that little spill. I've had a horrible fever blister (I guess since I have been sick). Thankfully it is finally going away. Thank you Abreva! I typically do not believe in these kinds of things, but that stuff is good. School is coming to a rapid close, and also, our anniversary is coming up! We haven't decided what we are going to do yet...we had originally planned to go to Hawaii, but decided to do some other things instead. I've been trying to see what Broadway shows are coming...nothing anytime soon that I'm terribly thrilled about, but for my birthday next year, the show "Wicked" is coming! It sounds bad, but it's really not. It's about Oz pre-Dorothy. And it has some great music!! I have already requested that that be my treat next year. Still waiting for Birmingham Broadway to post their new season schedule...hopefully it will be soon! I have been reading more lately now that I finally have some time. I am about 15 pages from finishing Prince Caspian in anticipation of the movie. It's going to be great! Well, until next time, I leave you with some pictures from Saturday. Enjoy!
