Why does it seem that my life is CRAZY these days? It's not a bad crazy. It's just a really busy crazy. And a good crazy, really. This week we've had the fabulous return of the Jared and Candace family and the arrival of the Matthew and Rachel Ray family (with a 4 month old baby girl in tow). It's been absolutely wonderful having more people around...oh yes, Todd Will is visiting too, after just returning from a 6 week missions trip to Brazil (with New Tribes Mission). So I'm loving the company, catching up with old friends and making a couple of new friends. It's just that there's so much going on these days and the work load seems to loom a bit more.
We've been having some good community meetings lately, talking about issues such as -- dun-dun-dun -- the Vision of the Ministry, roles and responsibilites, new scheduling...These are all very big issues that take lots of thought and much discussion time. And we've also been starting to do outreaches again. Last week we went to Garberville to check out the Farmer's Market and cruise the town to see if there were any hippies around. Seeing as how we picked the hottest day ever, 110 degrees, there weren't many people out. But we've got some people going up to Arcata tomorrow with Iced Chai and homemade cookies (thanks to my dear husband who baked them in a 115 degree kitchen this afternoon).
Anyway, there are 3 lovely girls in my cabin now, ready and waiting to watch a girlie movie...The bottom line is, we're busy but really happy and my apologies for not blogging.
About Me
- Megan
- My husband calls me a soccer mom, despite my distaste for the name. I'm told that the term doesn't literally mean a 'mother of a soccer-playing child' rather, it's descriptive of one's style. When we lived in a small community of hippies I really didn't see the correlation. I didn't mind wearing the same pants every day or only having 4 tank tops that I wore for the last three months of my pregnancy. Makeup? For who? My friends who hadn't showered in the past 3 days? But now...we have left the redwoods of Mendocino County. This is Saratoga. This is where the neighbor's home is on the market for 4 Million dollars. This is where we face serious changes. Thanks to Banana Republic and Gap's extraordinary sales, I'm now a somewhat trendier mom who stays at home with the baby while Marc goes to the office everyday. I already listened to Dave Matthews, John Mayer and Coldplay. Every once in a while it's Al Green or Stevie Wonder when there's romance in the air. And makeup, well, a dash of blush and a hint of eye shadow is normal now. This is a fresh start. With a 3 month old baby and the sweetest husband in the world, we set out for new adventures. Now in Saratoga, soon in Chicago.
