Almost April...

Spring break has finally come. This last term was probably the most demanding, so far, of my time. I was in class three nights a week, plus all the time with homework, and on top of all of it, I got to work late , or through lunches, several times to meet a deadline. As far as I know, my address hasn't changed, and I am still married - though my time spent with the fam wouldn't really prove that out right now. One more term before summer - and man am I looking forward to a few months off. The term went well, however. I didn't get outstanding grades, but I got good grades - especially in my drafting class, which is my major.
Easter went grat a the church. We set a new attendance record, and saw several people make a renewed commitment to Christ. I think some new slavations too, but I don't personally keep track of those stats. All I know is that we were able to present the gospel to more people than we ever have before, and all in comfort of our new building.
I have also been asked to write an article for another blog - focused on REplanting. I'll be posting a link to that blog real soon. Things are going great with my family. Crystal and I have never been more in love, and I don't think Crystal has ever been more ready to get this little girl out of her as she is now. Tatum is being far mroe active than Levi was.

Can you say...HIATUS!!

Man, it's been a long time since I wrote here. My life has been going crazy since the beginning of the year, and what were once common posts have become sporadic at best. I actually have another motivation for writing now, though. I have an aunt who is doing a 1 year mission to Maputo, Mozambique (I hope I didn't butcher that spelling too bad). We obviously can't talk on the phone often, so I figured this would be a great way to let her know how me and my family are doing. So Sharon, this is for you, we love you.
things are going well - a little hectic maybe, but pretty well. I recently signed-up (and paid money) to run my first organized half-marathon. I have run the distance in the past, but I have never done it as an event. It will be new ground, but I had to do something to whip myself back into shape. In fact, the guy that got me to run this with him is even talking about continuing our training after the half and running a full marathon sometime relatively soon.
Crystal is almost into her 8th month of pregnancy...yes, the baby girl is rapidly approaching. I can't believe we are going to have two. I post pictures as soon as she arrives...well, maybe give me a day or two.
The church is doing well. We are growing really well now that we are in the building full-time. We are exploring ways to cover the floors, and we got the nursery covered last weekend. So now we have the new nursery to use as well as the old one.
Let's see, what else. Oh, I have winter term finals next week - so pray for me. Not only that, but next week and the week after I am picking up 40 hours of work from Jay. I figured I can do 60 hour weeks for two weeks - it won't kill me. I will probably pick up more this summer. God is really opening some doors for me there, and who knows, maybe I will have walked through it before you get back here.
