A May Hello

I honestly can’t believe it is May 03rd, and we are literally on the cusp of summer.  This is a busy month for us.

  • Mother’s Day (I was a little taken aback that it is this coming Sunday I thought for sure I had another week.  Will be buying gifts this week.:-/)
  • Birthdays – THREE!  My Brother, one of my three sister’s in law, and one of my six nephews.  I ended up putting all my nephew’s & my niece’s birthdays with years in Evernote because the only one I can remember how old he is is my oldest nephew because he was born the year after we got married. [edit: and apparently i’ve forgotten my brother’s birthday in my old age.]
  • Anniversary!!!!  Shawn and I celebrate 10 years of marriage.  If it’s hard to believe that it’s already May o3rd, the fact that we’ve been married 10 years (together 14) is mind blowing.  Besides Jesus, he is the best thing to ever happen to me.
  • Anniversary trip.  We always try to go out of town for our anniversary.  We have a couple places in mind we just need to work out the logistics (money) aspect and make a decision.
  • Plus I still need to share about our trip to Austin.  Please — let me know when life slows down.
  • Shawn and I are praying over some things in our lives and God’s leading in them.  I appreciate your prayers too.

I hope you all are doing well.

So tell me what has been going on in your life?
Are you planning anything fun for over the summer?

      Birthdays are always fun!! What day? Summer break is fun too. At least from what I remember. Will you be working or taking summer classes?

    Happy Anniversary! Josh & I celebrated our 10 year this year as well. Where are you thinking about going on your trip? This summer? We're moving to Washington! I, like you, am taken aback that it is already May! I have so much to do in the next two months. Goodness!

      We've talked about Portland. But it may end up just being a short trip to a city a couple hours away. We'll see.

    Happy Anniversary! For us, March is the busiest month of the year. Anniversary, Gotcha Day, daughter's birthday, husbands business shareholders meeting, and something else, that I'm forgetting now. (It's that age thing :-) ) Summer plans include a trip to Alabama to see my parents, a trip to New Orleans (with my parents) to celebrate my mom's birthday, and a stop in Mississippi to see my best friend that I haven't seen in over 15 years. Other than that, just enjoying the gorgeous weather we are finally having in the Seattle area.

      Sounds like fun. Were your parents affected by the tornadoes?
      • Michelle May 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm Reply
        Thankfully not. They lost power for a few days and had a few windows in the green house blow out, but in comparison to the devastation around the state that was nothing. Apparently the tornado missed them by 6 miles. I did have some friends in GA with damage, including one loss of business, but no lives lost. My heart breaks every time I see more pictures. So thankful for those that are helping and serving throughout the area.

          So thankful your parents had minimal damage and that no lives were lost. Seeing the pics reminds me of a war zone.

    Love that you and Shawn celebrate your anniversary with trips. Alison and I do the same thing, even if it's just a quick trip. In fact, last year, we didn't even leave Memphis, but just checking into a hotel makes us feel like we are able to escape our routine normalcy in the pursuit of adventure! Congrats on such a busy month of celebration!

    Happy Anniversary! Hmmm. . . well, this month school is out and I am officially on 4 day work weeks! Yay for a continual 3 day weekend, eh? In June my two daughters are flying (without an adult!!) to KY to stay at my parents for a whole month (wooo hooo!) so that means, Shan & I will try to plan a weekend getaway while they are there. Other than that, just moving right along in the school of ministry at our church and leading a worship team. :) xxx

      Are you nervous about your daughters flying alone? Weekend getaways are awesome.

        Yes. I am. It's a straight shot from Charleston, SC to Nashville, TN and they allow me to walk them to the gate (and my mom to pick them up at the gate) but still, once they are on that plane - YIKES! But my 15 year old can handle my 4 year old and it's cheaper than driving 12 hours. (That's the long version of saying YES I AM NERVOUS!)

    I have a packed packed may! Pumped for summer though. I am currently in the process of studying to my brain turns into gobbly goop for my ap tests and some finals. Over the summer, I have the opportunity of going to Nicaragua with my dad to serve with an organization called house of hope. They take in girls and women who have been prostituted. So excited to be able to interact with these people and observe the culture.
