Fun Week

Although this week was a little chaotic it was rather fun. Classes are going well. Jazz band and Dolce Suono are fun. My lesson with Jeff this week on trumpet was awesome, I am so grateful he is teaching me the basics and now jazz as well. School will be fun this semester. I am learning all kinds of new and wonderful things...many of which I can apply right now to my teaching, new games and activities that I can use with my home-school choir.

Family Night is now going to be awesome. Katie (Mark's sister) and Leah (another college student from church) will be helping me in the nursery. The three of us are able and willing to tackle all kids who come to the room. New Covenant Church families...bring it on. Just kidding. We will just enjoy having the evening to hang out with the kiddos. Katie (Children's Director) now can rest assured that this room is covered when she goes on maternity leave in March with her first baby.

On another note, Voice of Angels Choir began again today. An email went out to the ERC (a group that does information for home-school students in Albuquerque) and I got many emails from those parents asking for more information. Today, there were two families, six kids, two parents, Heather and I. We had fun but I hope more families come next week. I have big plans for this semester and need the extra voices! We will be doing Broadway music from various musicals and movies. Look for the concert date soon! I was so grateful that Heather came along. We have gotten to hang out quite a bit lately, since we have Dolce Suono and math together this semester. I love her! It's great to have another 'little sister'.

Well I think that's about all. I am ready for sunshine and warmer weather after weeks of clouds and snow here and there...too bad more snow is to come Sunday. The bad weather makes it hard to focus sometimes and makes me a little sad but I know that I have plenty to be happy about and that's what I need to remember when I get down. I have a fabulous family and some awesome new and not so new friends in my life. Oh...remembered something else...the new Sunday school class at NCC is going to be great. Lots of married couples with kids whom I will watch in the nursery and some younger college kids...should be tons of fun. Superbowl party Sunday at one of the families' house. I look forward to getting to know this group of young adults and their kids over the coming months. I am very excited about the new friendships that will form. Well anyways...many great things happening.

Love to you all! I hope that you are finding that God is blessing you and your family!
