Update

Sorry I have been so quiet for the past week. I guess there hasn't been too many exciting things happening around here, but I will catch you up. Last night, Shane and I took Jacob to Mountasia as a reward for making straight A's on his report card. He also had a perfect conduct card, which he had been working hard at for the past 3 weeks. He gets in trouble for "talking at inappropriate times" or basically whenever the teacher's say to be quite. We played miniature golf first. Jacob lost his ball in the river on the 3rd hole so Shane and I took turns hitting the ball after that. Jacob doesn't really try to play. He just swings as hard as he can...hence the ball in the river. Then Shane and Jacob rode go-karts and did the batting cages. After they played in the arcade, we went to Fuddrucker's for dinner. Jacob begged to play more games, but we were gamed out and said no. It was a fun night and practically no one else was there. A weeknight is definately the time to go.

Jacob raced BMX last weekend. He raced two 8 year olds. Since there were only 3 of them, it was an all points race. Basically, that means that they all three race both motos and the main. Jacob is not used to racing one right after the other and it really tired him out. He ended up getting 2nd place overall. We are proud of him because he tried his hardest.

We have a busy weekend coming up. The church's annual fest festival is on Saturday. They will have games, inflatables and other fun stuff for the kids. On Sunday, Jacob and I have to be at church at 8am (this is very early for me). We are participating in doing a cardboard testimony during a song in each service. I won't spoil the fun and hope that someone will be recording it so I can share it with everyone later on. Here is a link to one that another church did. It is very powerful.

Someday I will have Shane show me how to get the video pasted into my blog so you can watch it there. After the services, the church will be celebrating its 35th anniversary. I can't believe that I have been a part of that church for 35 years. My parents co-founded the church when I was 3 years old (yes, I am 38!!). I do not know most of the people there now. It is kind of weird. But, the church is so big. Through small group, women's bible study and Shane being a part of the worship ministry I have come to know many people, but it is still only a few as the church is so big.

Hope everyone has a blessed weekend!
