finally a new post!!!

I admit that it has been a while since Sean and I have posted. I have not forgotten about the blog, I just have not thought about it in a while. Since I have recieved some slack (Andrea and Susan, the loudest :-) ) I thought I would update.

Sean and I are staying busy. For Sean things are starting to pick up and gigs are starting to come in. He has had 3 this weekend and is getting calls to for gigs this spring. We have been to one balloon jam this year and he will be planning another one soon. Sean is also preparing for Twist and Shout the last weekend of this month. He is looking foward to teaching as well as seeing people he has not seen in a while. He has also gone back to Chic-fil-a in Cool Springs on Tuesday nights and is back at El Chico in Rivergate on Thursday nights. (For those of you in the area pop in and see what he does).

I have started in my new job at Centerstone as an MIP Counselor (MIP: Moderate Intervention Planning). I have actually been training and will continue in training through the rest of this week. I will be in 4 middle schools in the Donelson area. I am excited to actually be in the schools and work with the students. I am also back in Choir at Two Rivers Baptist. I actually auditioned for the Worship Choir and was invited to join. (this is the auditioned group that comes out of the choir). I still am hesitant about Praise team. Jon says in a couple of months but I am not there yet. I will also be hosting my first Pampered Chef party on Mar 15th. I have been to a couple of parties, but I have never been the one to host. I am excited to see how that goes.

Sean and I hosted a Super Bowl Party at our house. At first I thought it would be 3 guys and me and to my happy surprise 2 other couples and an adorable little boy (Yes, Susan I am talking about Carter) came over. We had a great time. Sean and I had enough food to feed a small army and we are still munching on some of what was left over. Rodney thanks for leaving some of the Mt.Dew's, they have helped to wake me up in my first week of work.

Sean and I are hosting 11th grade girls for Living XL weekend. We may be nuts, but we are excited. We have had some offers to help us with food and transportation that weekend. For those of you who are prayers please be praying for this weekend. It is Mar 9-11th. This is very much like a D-Now weekend. The youth guys are bringing in a speaker and the praise team will be the worship team. Please pray for all involved and that the lives of the youth will be changed and maybe even some of the adults involved as well.

Crimson (our dog) is growing like a weed. She has those moments when she is absolutely adorable and loving and then those moments when we want to strangle her. Right now as I am typing this she is laying in the door of the office. She loves to play fetch with her tennis balls. She also loves her buddy (the long looking weiner dog from the Pet Smart commercials). She is completely crate trained and is almost house trained. For the most part she is great about letting us know when she has to go out. She will either scratch at the back door or she will sit at the back door and bark. She does not like to be left alone or like it when one of us leaves. She will sit at the front door and whine. When one of both of us come home, she gets very excited. Sean and I have decided that Crimson is our training ground for parenting. Even on those days when she is not being cute, we remind ourselves that she like the children we hope to have are non-returnable.

If there is anything that you want to know and I have not mentioned it, email me or post a comment and I will update you. I will try to be better about posting.

Have a blessed week!
