Ah, the things that are exciting in life ... so small, yet so huge! Jeff installed a new faucet on Saturday in our kitchen and it looks so nice and works so great! The boys enjoyed watching, though they were anxious for him to be done so they could go outside and play basketball on our new hoop.
On January 31 we took the kids to the snow. We found a spot just off the freeway where there was fresh snow and no other people. The boys had a blast! Lola hated it at first, but we brought our sand toys and she enjoyed shoveling snow into a bucket. It was a fun little outing.
Jeff turned 30 on January 28th. Yikes! He's old! I figured what better day to visit Jeff at work with the kids and embarrass him? Happy birthday Daddy! :)
I haven't done much with our blog in a while ... so here's me getting caught up. Back to January 5th, when my brother Adam and I celebrated our birthday. He's 26 now and I'm, *gulp*, 29! Happy birthay to us!
Our church's website is up, though not fully functioning yet. But the "what we believe" heading is complete and its really, really good. I recommend you checking the site out and reading at least that. And check back, because I know it'll be completed soon, with videos of Pastor Meyers' sermons. www.veritas-truth.com
I get excited about weird things lately. Here's one of the latest things that I am enthused about. I have been enjoying watching/listening to sermons by Mark Driscoll, a pastor of a church in Seattle called Mars Hill. Our church, Veritas, is being started through Mars Hill's Acts 29 church planting network. Pastor Driscoll has awesome sermons and I've been really learning a lot by listening to him. A few weeks ago, the Mars Hill website announced that in 2009 they were going to be doing a series on 1&2 Peter for about half the year, starting on January 11th. I love 1&2 Peter, so I was super excited that he was going to be doing this and couldn't wait to see the first installment. I watched it today and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend you watch this sermon and if you like it, you go to http://www.marshillchurch.org/ and check out prior sermons (if you do, write me and I can suggest some great ones to get started with).
