Catch Up

I feel like I haven’t been writing quite as much on here or something.  Or maybe I post SO MUCH at my OTH site, this just doesn’t seem as much.  On a very side note can I just say today I’m shocked because that site will probably have a record of over 11,000 page views today.  That sort of stuns me.

Anyway, so here’s a few updates on some things.

The band at church – The guy that came in basically gave up too.  I think he saw how much work it was and how much you really do need to know about music to run the thing and got discouraged when the youth started running their mouths at how bad we were and basically gave up on the band.  What we’ve communicated is the band is taking a break to learn new songs and will be back.  The truth of the matter is we don’t have a strong enough either lead keyboardist or guitarist and until that happens, we’re going nowhere.  And the bass player graduates in 4 short months so I’m guessing it’s all done with.  For now we’ve simply been playing songs and have a praise team up front singing right along.  It sounds corny, but it’s actually been working out well.  Practices are a breeze and the singers are enjoying it again.

V-day plans – Scott is working tonight and tomorrow so Scott and I are going out with J&W and D&D Friday night to a nice steakhouse in Charlotte.  I have a black strapless top and gray sequined wrap I bought for all of $10 back at Christmas that I’m going to wear I think.  I want some red shoes to go with it but have to find time to go shopping for that.

Scott’s settlement on his shoulder –  Scott talked to the lady yesterday and at most he will get enough to pay off our van exactly but she said they’d probably offer him something lower than that.  I think the idea is going to be to pay off the van with whatever we get.  I’m hoping it comes soon though!  I would love to have several hundred dollars a month freed up.

Summer trips- Besides the anniversary trip in August, Scott had planned to go to youth camp in June.  We also are going with his family to the beach in July.  And then today Scott said he was invited back to Turkey for another missions trip in May.  We’re still praying about that one.  It’s 2K to go but last time the church was able to raise money for him to go.

Bible in 90 Days This is going GREAT.  It is one of the best things I’ve done in a long time.  I’ve gotten behind a day or so once or twice but I’m always able to recover and it all goes well, the plan actually has you finishing in 88 days.  Amazing.

I think that’s all the random stuff I have rolling around in my head right now.
