Right now I am:
Hope everyone is having some lovely spring weather!
This post will be mostly pics with a few details, and the sequence of events are completely backwards b/c that's how blogger rolls!

before the day got started....I am taking more and more away from church each and every Sunday. Today was especially difficult with the recent passing of my Uncle J and some other personal struggles, but it felt great being there and being surrounded by people who are also dealing with their own problems.
Today, the three key points I took away were:
Like most parts of the midwest, and some CO, etc. KC was dumped with snow yesterday. It's already melting and the grass is even greener. I'm hoping by the time I get around to posting some of the pics I took yesterday it will be back in the 70's and we're seeing nothing but blue skies and sunshine!
Have a great week everyone!
It's been a helluva last 8 or 9 days. Saturday I woke up realizing I didn't have my phone, or wasn't sure where it was. Didn't think too much about it as I don't normally receive a lot of phone calls. Went to church Sunday, great service. Walked out feeling incredible and ready to take on the day. Finally found my phone and had 5 voice mails and 3 texts to call my Mama. Not good... my Uncle J was going downhill and fast. Docs had given him 24 hours Sunday morning. By Sunday night things appeared to be somewhat on the mend so I decided to go to work on Monday. He passed away Monday night, I left for Iowa Tuesday AM.
Met an incredible pastor, learned a lot of great stories about my Uncle J and my Mama and Aunt growing up, and spent a lot of time with great family. The service was great, the pastor wrote an incredible eulogy.
It sucks, and it sucks bad. But, he is out of pain and he's livin' the life with my grandparents I'm sure. Of which, I'm very jealous of!
I got to see one of my BFF while I was back. We had lunch then spent a little time together while my parents were looking for a dress shirt for my Pa. I miss her tons!
Not a lot else to say right now... still trying to figure things out. Have a great week!
I think we all knew this was coming, but we tried to bury it. Tried to push it deep down, as far as we possibly could. Tried to think that it wouldn't happen for a long period of time.
God is about ready to take a good one, one of the best. Even as much as we all have tried to prepare for this - it is never easy. God, I trust you. I trust you know what you are doing. Please comfort my family during this time as you take one of your children under your wings.
What is it about these two words? I first noticed them with my boss, what seemed like 3 out of 5 words. At first, we got a bell to ding every time we caught him saying it, but it felt like he and the rest of the team were more annoyed by the bell than the two words. So, here recently I started charging him 5 cents every time he said them. One day, I got up to $1.40. He bought my soda the next day ;o)
I've noticed it being used by everybody more and more lately, and it's not like I can go around telling everybody I'm going to charge them 5 cents every time I hear it! Today in church, between the meeting before services and during services, I probably counted it at least 50 times.
So, two things I'm giving up for lent...or at least a day: facebook and using the two words, which are:
