It's been a while since I have taken the time to post anything...sorry to my followers. We have had a busy end of 2009 and beginning of 2010. So busy in fact that we didn't even get Christmas cards out this year. Such slackers! You might ask what has been keeping this blogger so busy, and I would say life. I accepted a new job at our church as the Children's Ministry Director. A fun job most days, but also challenging as we are trying to completely revamp the entire program this year. So far we have knocked down walls to make bigger rooms, to which we still have to decorate, and we changed the curriculum we are using. Two things that seem rather simple, but to those who don't handle change very well it has been a long January. Things are starting to iron out and God is doing some amazing things as WHBC. Can't wait to see what He does in 2010, the "year of the kid" at WHBC!
We hosted our 2nd annual New Year's Eve card party and we are in the midst of planning a Valentine's card party. I love that our families like to play cards. I grew up playing pitch with my grandparents in western Kansas and feel that it has become a lost art to sit around the table with family and friends and enjoy a good ol' game of pitch. My generation doesn't know what it's missing.
We helped a friend celebrate her 30th Birthday a couple nights ago and it hit me hard that I will soon be there. 2009 flew by in the blink of an eye and I'm afraid that is what will happen to 2010 as well. I have been thinking about it and this is what I have come to realize ... I'm old! I will have a kindergartner this fall, yikes! My sweet little Brooklyn will be 4 in August and already has the attitude of a 24 year old (must come from her father's side). My "career" path is no where I thought it would be...still trying to figure out if I'm ok with that or not. After going to my 10 year reunion in 2009, and seeing a lot of my classmates not married, not even dating anyone seriously, and not having kids I just feel old. Hopefully my feelings toward 30 will change, but my guess is not too much.
Here's to you 2010 and all you have in store for our lives!
