Busy, busy....

Well April appears to be a pretty busy month! Besides the day to day business of life, we have something going on every weekend too! This weekend is Easter. I'm excited for it. The group I've been working with doing the hand mime to "Who am I?" will perform the song this weekend. Jarod and Julie (the youth minister's wife and our good friend) will sing the song for us. It is a really neat thing, so check out the video on youtube that I talked about in a previous post. For Easter lunch we are going to the Brust's home and having an Easter egg hunt. It will be a good day, and I love that the kids get that it's not about candy and bunnies (I'm sure I'll post on that soon!)!
The weekend after that we are going to KC for a few days. My dad is turning 60, and we wanted to go see him for that. It is also Sean's 5th birthday! So we'll have a birthday party for both! While in KC we are hoping to see some friends, too!
The next weekend OCC is having their women's retreat. I'm not sure if anyone from KC is going (??) but I plan on going up for a day or two. Jackina Stark is speaking and I really enjoy her stories and testimony.
The next weekend is the minister's and spouse retreat. I'm really excited for this! We will be shipping the kids off to the farm and heading out with the staff from NCC for a great weekend together. It's an area wide thing so other churches will be there too. Jarod is leading the worship and Jim Johnson will be the speaker (he's a former OCC professor and now preaches in Stillwater, OK). I really look forward to spending time with Jarod and the other staff members.
SO that's our April! Crazy but fun!! So much to look forward to and so much to be thankful for!
