YES!! I am still around...

But, I have been very busy! I looked today at the last time I posted and well, it has almost been a month! I have been trying to think of something great to write about but...I come up short every time I did go and see Smuckers Stars on Ice. I was even going to post about it and well...I didn't. It was great fun, great seats, I went with my sister (who invited me) my mom and 3 other friends. We did have a great time. However, I didn't feel that I should post exclusivly on that especially since the pictures I have are awful!

The following week I went to see The Celtic Women. Kind of a late birthday present! They are incredible. If you ever have the chance to see them I highly recommend it. Phil really enjoyed it too! They were great! It was last Thursday when it was BITTER cold outside and we had to walk a few blocks to get to the car. I thought that I was getting frost bite while we were walking, It was sooo bitter cold! I was very thankful for the car (and the remote starter) when we were in it and out of the cold and wind.

This past weekend Phil took Cabot hunting...I guess he is trying to counter all the dress up that the girls have done with Cabot. :-) No really, Phil did take him hunting, they were supposed to go with a great friend of ours however, God had other plans and our friend suffered a heart attack the Wednesday before they were to go. He is doing well, you would never even know that he had a heart attack we were in just a couple hours later and he was talking to Phil about the trip and talking like he was going to go with them. But, the doctor (and the wives)said no!! We were thankful that they were not away when it happened because they were out of pretty much all civilazation. So, Sunday Phil packed up with Cabot and off the two of them went! I recieved a call Tuesday afternoon from Cabot remember that he is only 7 He was very excited to report that he had harvested a Eurpean Red Stagg. An 11 point buck! whoa...can you hear the excitement in his voice when he called me? And, do you think that I have any picutres? NO!! I will get some pictures up and let him retell his story! it is a great one!

And finally...ever hear of Team Impact? If ever have the chance to see and hear them they are incredible. The kids school is hosting the this week, and we took the family last night to go and watch them. They are there until Sunday night so...I recommend that you take the time and go. Their testimonies are incredible and straight from the heart, they had a little "teaser" during chapel yesterday and a bunch of kids responded to the message. And again last night during their presentation the gym was packed and they expect more tonight and the following few nights...Their might and strength is incredible. The kids were amazed that one of the men could lift a telephone pole over his head! (I was amazed too!) so...if you are in the area for the next few days go and check them out!

And finally I thought that spring was here yesterday it was 73* outside!! Bring it on that is all I have to say!!! (today is well...rainy!)
