No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth.
No, I didn't give it up for Lent. (I gave up playing Playstation alone instead)
I just have not had a whole heck of a lot to say.
Yeah right, we all know that's so true. Ha! Let's see what I can jabber about tonight...
February FLEW by. I still can't believe it's March already. With the soccer season really getting into swing in Feb, my weeks just seemed like Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays!! Soccer season is going well though! We are in the second half of district with 4 games left. As of this moment, we are in second place in district. We've played all our hard games and we actually broke our biggest opponent's record! For the rest of the regular season, we have two games this week that we sure as heck better win and then two after Spring Break (whut whut!!) that there is no doubt we will win. We are expected to go into the playoffs, but I'm not 100% sure how far. It all depends on how the bracket is laid out. After soccer, I don't know what I'm going to do with all my time. Hopefully get rested up and stay sane.
What else.. what else... Oh -- For Mardi Gras this year, we had the traditional party. It wasn't as extravagant as in the past years, but we still had a good time and the traditional food was present; boudain, red beans and rice, sausage, king cake, cornbread (and chips n salsa.. haha). We even revived the tradition of playing sardines!! Good times were had there...
Oh! Also this semester, I figured that instead of just coaching soccer, I'd get back in the game and play some, too! So I play with a bunch of women who are close to my age (did i just say women??) and we play some sweet soccer on Sundays. I forgot how much I missed really playing, and it's a great way to stay in moderate shape! Sometimes we kill and sometimes we get killed, but we have fun and the competition is always good too. I tried to quit the softball team for the season, but they aren't letting me get away with it that easily. I "guest play" softball so far this season and I'm sure I'll keep playing 'cause it's just so darn fun.
I joined a small group at the church for the latest church-wide Lenten study. Our group is not so small (we have 18 compared to a normal 9-10) BUT we had great discussion last week and hopefully that will continue.
Spring Break is next week and I opted out of traveling to Mexico again this year and also passed up a ski trip with the college/young adult group. Sunday is my Dad's 60th birthday so we're going to celebrate and then the first part of the week I am going to rest and relax. Then Thursday-Saturday, I'm roadtripping to Shreveport Louisiana to visit Ms Lauren Bedevian at her beautiful campus of Centenary! I'm excited to spend a lot of time with her as it always seems we don't get that when she is here in CS.
Summer is coming too!! I am so excited. I don't know why because it's not like there is a whole lot going on for me. I decided not to go to Camp Barnabas this year because I just can't afford the trip. It's a bummer, but when you don't have the money.. you don't have the money!! I am planning on working soccer camp the first week and then possibly the extended school year program with our district. I did that last summer and not only was the money good, I got to meet and interact with my (then) future students. In August, I get to go to Washington DC with my family and the church choir!! I am looking forward to that very much and can't wait to take another big trip!!
So, that's what I have for now.. If I left anything out, let me know. ;)

Congrats on your soccer season going so well!! And good luck as you finish out the season!!!
Hey, it's going good! I sent it to both countries you sent me, with a note in the Czech one about how I knew you. Hopefully it'll work out! :) Sounds like you're having fun with soccer. Some people at church and are just started kicking the ball around together. I'd forgotten how fun it is! :)
