Ketchup, Catsup, Catching Up...

I've been enjoying my week off of school so much! So much has been happening since I've been on my bloggy hiatus... here's a quickie recap to get us all caught up:

APRIL

I got to go celebrate with my friend Malinda as she got a very prestigious award at a ceremony in AZ:

I also was invited to speak at a children's ministry conference in my old hometown. God TOTALLY SHOWED UP! It was so amazing! I also got to go wander around a little bit in my old neighborhood since it was in the same town. I even got to walk around the park where I spent lots of time as a child:

My family and friends wore Dodger Blue in honor of my Grandfather at his memorial service:

Oh! I also celebrated my 19th... um, 29th... I mean 39th birthday!  I was spoiled beyond reason and thoroughly enjoyed the entire week!

Near the end of the month I traveled to GA with the RK team for a conference & some fun sightseeing:

Somewhere in there we celebrated my favorite holiday, Easter... I continued with my community college class, and began the 'big girl' college program.  I also got to teach a buncha fun workshops and worked my regular job. It was a busy, but amazing month. I learned a lot of lessons about how to spend quality & quantity time with my kids and husband. Was difficult, but totally worth it!

Apparently, April was fuller than I thought... guess I'll have to pick up on May tomorrow!

Blessed be the Lord,

Who daily loads us with benefits,

The God of our salvation! Selah

Psalm 68:19

Love to all,
