ATuna DaTada!

This translates to Hakuna Matata, in Ivy speak : ).

You know me, I love music and I love Disney so we listen to LOTS of Disney music. They love Hakuna Matata, The Bare Necessities (from The Jungle Book) and I am happy to have introduced them to The Un-Birthday Song from Alice in Wonderland! These songs are much better than that Kid's Bop stuff. The family went to visit Blake's brother this weekend so I had about 3 days to myself. Saturday included football and food. That was it really : ). I also slept alot this weekend!

I am happy to report that I am enjoying church so far. I have been going to the church they attend, Shandon Baptist here in Columbia. They have a fairly big 20 something/singles ministry. Since I am 20 something and extremely single, it works out : ). So I go to their Sunday school then to their contemporary worship service which is really fun. The pastor is a great speaker and there are very talented musicians involved. This weekend I will be attending the single's retreat in Myrtle Beach. First of all, I GET TO GO TO THE BEACH! and hopefully I will be meeting people and making friendships, you know, with people over 4 feet tall : ). Today I told the twins I was going to the beach this weekend to meet people taller than them and Remi said I wasn't allowed. I am only allowed to make friends with people like him and Ivy, short and 4 years old. So cute! I would ask that you would pray for me in that situation. I am excited but nervous, I don't do well in these new situations generally since I am not one to go and introduce myself. You could pray that I would be bold in that situation and just go for it, I need to have friends here. NEED.

I am also happy to report that homework in general is going much better. He is starting football so when he's got something to look forward to he gets things done. Paxton is very smart, but very distracted! : )

Here is a picture from the summer with 3 of my best friends who I am missing greatly right now. From L- Beth, Emily and Leigh- all friends from CRU and ones I would go to with anything.
I got so used to being with friends and people who know me that you begin to take them for granted but when you are spread all over the East coast (soon to be world) you realize how much they were a part of your life before and how much you miss them now!

Gotta go now! Homework time!
Oh, and please Pray for my retreat! You will get an update on that as soon as I can get to a computer with internet! : )
