February

February has been a whirlwind!  It's hard to believe that in a few short days it will be March.

I haven't blogged this month so this an overview of what I have been up to.

  • My mom is back home and recovering after a two week stay in the hospital. She is getting stronger everyday. 

  •  My sister flew home from oversees to help my mom during her recovery.  My big sis and her husband currently teach at an international school in Kazakhstan (a country in Central Asia).  It was great to spend time with her. She got to see the kids play ball and go to their school Valentines parties.  These are things she misses during her visits home during the summer months. My daughter is counting down the weeks until her return.

  • Winter blizzard in Oklahoma = days off work and school.  Loved the extra time home with my family.  It was difficult to get back into the swing of things and back to reality when the snow melted. 

  • I have slowly began training for the OKC marathon coming up in May. Let me emphasize SLOWLY.  I really need to get it into gear!

  • Basketball!  All of my kids played basketball this year.  They had fun. I had fun (and yelled a lot from the stands). We also managed to throw in a OU woman's basketball game and NBA Thunder game

  • I attended the funeral of my uncle.  The service was a great tribute to his life.  He was a humble and quiet man that loved his family dearly.

As this month comes to a close I pray that you have been blessed in every situation you have encountered.  As for me, I have been reminded in good times and in sorrow, God is faithful.
