Can you believe that we're already into mid-March and 3+ months into 2010!
Some fun things have been happening around here...
1. Luke has started writing his thesis - even has a few chapters done. He has quite a bit to do - he has 7 chapters to write! - but he's trucking along steadily. He spends a few days at home so he can be more productive and less distracted. I think he just wants to be home with our kitties. :)
2. I've started a new venture with a friend in Seattle. We're offering wedding planning at a great price! :) Check out our website: T&R Events. If you know of anyone needing help planning their wedding, please pass our name along!
3. While working on his thesis, Luke is slowly applying for jobs here and there. He has a few inquiries in to businesses and has even had a few phone calls. We're excited what the future holds for Luke!
4. My job at HPMI has been shifting and moving around since I started there in Dec 2008, but now it will be taking an even bigger shift as the owner of the company moves my boss into a Marketing position. I'll take over most of our client operations and we're in the hunt for someone to take over some of my responsibilities and take on a few others. I'm totally excited about it - having more responsibilities will be a lot of fun!
5. My family is doing awesome! My sis is surviving! Yay! My mom is practically in remission! Yay! My bro is loving bicycling! Yay! My dad is fixing his computer! Yay! :)
Ok... on to fixing dinner... we have Small Group in a few and I need to get bookin'! |

| A Little Poem About Computer Spell Checkers |
|
|
| |
I thought this poem was clever. I've seen it in the past, but never thought to post it. Regardless, enjoy reading it - it will take a few brain cells to get through it.
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew. |

Well, it's official! Luke sold his car on Saturday!! Can you believe it?!
Here are the photos Luke took to sell it! Doesn't it look like a fun car to own?!
He is hoping to purchase a Jeep -- and if he can, he'd like to purchase a Rubicon. I know he wants a bunch of other things to be included, so we'll see if he finds one with is criteria.
Bye, bye, RX-7! :) |

| What are you giving up for Lent in 2010? |
|
|
| |
The tradition is that you give up something materialistic that is getting in the way of your Christian walk.
Wikipedia put it like this: "Many modern Protestants consider the observation of Lent to be a choice, rather than an obligation. They may decide to give up a favorite food or drink (e.g. chocolate, alcohol) or activity (e.g., going to the movies, playing video games, etc.) for Lent, or they may instead take on a Lenten discipline such as devotions, volunteering for charity work, and so on. When observing fasting or abstinence during Lent, regard must be paid to the fact that Sundays are Feast Days, so there is no fast or abstinence. The days from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter Sunday, excluding the Sundays, are forty, corresponding to the number of days Christ spent in the wilderness."
It's not the daily sacrifice we make to honor our God (because that should always be there), but something that we can easily (well, for most people) remove from our lives so that we can more closely focus on what (or Whom) is important.
I decided to give up my time on Facebook. (I know!!!) I spend too much time on there messing around and not doing anything productive, when I could be using that time to focus on my daily bible study and more time doing things that are way more important. Now, with the comment regarding that Sundays are feast days, I may check Facebook, but my goal is to try to stay away on those days too. I can find other ways to contact those I care about.
So, with that said, what are you giving up? |

It's Luke's bday on Friday! Everyone wish him a happy day! :)
We're going to meet for dinner at Oskar's in Longmont. Anyone and everyone is invited. We probably won't show up until close to 5, since I have to work up at the Mountain. If you're around and free, we'd love to see you!! |
