Blogging about Blogging

So I am thinking that I really need to be more regular about this. I feel like half the time I don't have anything to blog about because I don't have a family (with kids) and there are few really exciting things that happen in my life. Which really isn't true. I guess I just need to pay attention more and be excited about the small things. And I need to use my camera more to capture my life.

So here is a list of some exciting things that have happened over the past month that I have neglected to blog about:

1. We (ken and I and another couple) went to go see the Broadway show, "Wicked" in Chicago at the end of August. It was AMAZING!

2. I started an aerobic workout class that meets once a week. I love it.

3. I successfully survived a high school youth group kick off retreat in September. There were 46 students and 9 adults and we had an amazing time. I got to meet most of the youth group- and they are an amazing bunch of students.

4. Ken and I joined a small group Bible Study with a group from our new church. We are really loving the opportunity to get to know these people.

5. Ken preached his first sermon at our new church. (Which will now be a regular, once a month occurrence). He preached on the first chapter in Ruth. He did an amazing job- I was so proud of him!

Exciting things that I am looking forward to in the next few months:

1. In a week we are heading down to Mississippi for a week long mission trip with a group from church.

2. In a month Ken and I are heading to Nashville for 5 days to attend the National Youth Workers Convention. This will be my 3rd convention in a row. I really look forward to these.

3. Sometime in the next month or two my parents will be coming here for about a week to visit from NJ. Last time I saw them was in July, so this will be nice.

4. In December we will be going to NJ for a week to visit for Christmas. I am really looking forward to spending the holiday and seeing my sister.

So there it is: My life in a list.
