1. We had a great weekend in Trussville! We ended up leaving the kitties here because we drove straight to the Vestavia singing. They survived for 48 hours on their own, although they were all out of food when we got back Sunday afternoon! They probably ate it all by Friday night…ha! The singing was wonderful, as usual. There were almost 700 people there, and we got to see lots of friends we hadn’t seen in a while.
2. On Saturday, we ran 6.5 miles!! Didn’t know if I’d be able to do it, but it actually wasn’t too bad. Travis finished several minutes ahead of me, but I’m ok with it. I blame it on his longer legs… :)
3. Speaking of running, last night Travis officially signed up for the half marathon! Now, we just have to book a hotel for the night before. The race starts at 7 AM, so we definitely don’t want to drive up there the morning of!
4. I wish I could tell you about all the interesting people I meet at work. I’ve got some pretty crazy stories! You can blame HIPAA for the lack of details. But, in the past few weeks, I’ve had a patient who managed to take his “valuables” back to surgery with him and another patient with a really “interesting” invention. At least my job keeps me on my toes! :)
5. This Friday we are getting new bathroom fans installed in both of our bathrooms. Now if that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will. Oh wait…Travis is the only one who is pumped about it. Hah :) It’s going to change his life…
6. Last week, I got suckered into paying $24.50 for a year’s subscription to Tennis magazine. The guy was raising money to go to Paris. He was nice. And I’m too nice to say no. Please don’t ring my doorbell and try to sell me something. You know I’ll buy it.
7. Have I mentioned that Travis is tutoring a high schooler from church? The subject is physics. Better him than me! I’m glad I never had to take physics in high school or college. I don’t think I missed out on anything but a lot of confusing concepts and equations. Travis liked it enough to make it one of his majors though! He’s a smartie :)
8. My best friend from high school, Kayla, is getting married on the 25th of this month! Can’t wait to see her and meet Zach!!
9. This Friday night, we are going to the Hesters’ house for a Valentine’s dinner with some other couples from church. Should be a lot of fun! The Hesters are probably the most hospitable people we know….we’re trying to do better at that this year. It’s hard to top them though!
10. Our house smells like homemade chocolate chip cookies right now. I just made some a little while ago. I’ve already eaten two, but I’d like to eat more. They’re just hard to stop eating once you start! That’s one bonus about running 3x/week. I don’t have to worry quite as much about how much I eat. You gotta have some kind of reward for running that much, right? :)
How’s that for a lot of random information? Here’s one more tidbit…two verses from a recent daily Bible reading. It’s good stuff to remember and put in practice!!
Ephesians 4: 31-32
“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
