New Tasks For 2013



I know I’m writing this when the month is more than halfway over, but I promise we’ve already begun to make some positive changes in our lives.

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I did set some goals for myself. I’m much more likely to continue to work at achieving a goal than to stick to a resolution for some reason.

One thing that I want to be better at this year is to increase how often I cook. The past two weeks I’ve cooked dinner more nights than we ate out and I’m proud of that.

David and I have both set out to eat healthier and to get in better shape. We’re making small changes in our diet and we’re both increasing our exercise habits. I’m sure progress will be slow, but progress is progress. :)

This year I have been given the privilege of teaching the adult women and high school girls from our congregation about God’s word. I will be teaching two ladies Bible studies and a monthly devotional to the high school and college girls. These are both firsts for me and I know that I will gain a lot of knowledge as I study and prepare my lessons. I’m really excited and I pray that what I say will be spiritually beneficial for all of the women who attend!

More exciting news to come soon!

Last Week

Note: I wrote this on Friday but I didn't have internet access to post it.

This week I feel that I’ve been productive as a house wife and got a little practice at being a mom. Our schedule actually wasn’t quite as hectic so I was able to cook dinner at home Monday through Thursday. Woo! It feels good to not spend money on restaurant food. 

On Monday I wrote a press release about the gospel meeting our church is hosting this upcoming Sunday through Wednesday. Everyone is invited to attend at University church of Christ. Sunday’s lessons are at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday will begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at approximately 8:30 p.m. For more information contact me or visit www.univcofc.com

Tuesday evening I picked up my favorite little five-year-old girl, Ava. She spent the night with me and Wednesday we went to the Austin Nature and Science Center, flew a kite at Zilker Park, ate lunch at Chick-fil-A and played on my landlord’s playground with his grandsons. I really enjoyed having her over. I have to admit that I was a little tired by the time we got home, though. David was really sweet and bought her a gift bag of goodies to play with since we don’t have any children’s toys. He also kept her busy while I had to do a few things around the house. I’m blessed to have him as my husband, especially when we have our own children.

This weekend we’ll be out of town for David’s second round of a try out in east Texas. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
