Oh my goodness. Another week has just FLOWN by. I cannot believe how completely crazy busy I have been lately. This summer is going to be the exact same way too. It is both good and bad at the same time. Wow. But through all of this I am truly enjoying how good God is and how He totally provides for me. Sometimes I still can't believe what an awesome job I have, and what a cool place I live in, and what amazing family and friends I have. (You!)

Here are two highlights from last week:

I organized a YL girls overnight. I made dinner and the girls came over here and we totally devoured the lasagna. Who knew Stouffers would be so popular? lol Then we went to Eastern PA for the night. Some of my YL girls are from PA and they come over here for club. (It is only about a 30 minute drive...see God is already preparing me to work with PA kids at some point.;)) Anyway, I told them that we could spend the rest of the night over there. So, they drove us all around, showing us the "happening" spots. We went to Quakertown for Starbucks, got chased by 16-year-old boys (I was ducking in the backseat laughing so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants...it was a total flashback, but one I could have done without!!lol) ,went and played on a swingset, went to a "haunted" old house, saw their "beer can" house, got a tour of their school and houses, and went on tons of back roads. One of the roads actually went through two creeks. We literally had to go through the water to get to the otherside. It was too funny. The water wasn't that deep - but that gives you a picture about how rural it is here (and there!). We then ended our evening by board games, telling stories and falling asleep. We woke up to pancakes and more talking. It was great to spend so much time with them...and to be a part of a slumber party.

My second highlight was this weekend. I went to Kristin's on Sat. after the overnight was over. (Yes, battled The Beltway once again - I swear the 495 is out to get me...) We had the best time. I'm sad we won't get to hang out again until later July. Anyway, we rented a movie, ate good food (Italian, Spanish and Mexican - oh we are so adventurous), went shopping, went to The District, and attended her awesome church. It was a much needed "mini vacation" for me. PTL!

The low-carb diet is going well - although I do go "on and off." I think I have lost 8 pounds so far. Not bad. Back to it again tomorrow!!

Well, I did my laundry last week and it is still not put back. So, I better get going. I told myself I needed to get my upstairs back to normal tonight. Then tomorrow I am tackling my downstairs (all those dishes!!). I feel like I am constantly cleaning up after kids even though I don't have any. Well, technically I don't.;)

I hear it is warm in CA! I am so jealous!! I am ready for some warm weather...I am still having to put my electric blanket on at night. What's up with that?

I'll post some recent pics very soon!
