We had wintery weather again last weekend...I think everyone is getting a bit tired of snow! We cancelled life group, so we got to watch most of the Olympics Opening Ceremony.
Jason had to work for a few hours on Saturday (the 13th), but got the next Friday off!
The 13th, we had dinner with Dean and Karen at Cracker Barrell, then hung out at Barnes and Noble for awhile.
Valentine's Day we watched the Datoyna 500 and Olympics. Jason was kind enough to get some food for Zaxby's!
I had Monday off for President's Day and didn't do anything! It was nice!
The rest of the week has been a bit challenging for me with some billing problems with a group and just general frustration with issues. I was glad when worked ended Friday!
Life group was about love being a package deal, in the way that we can't just pick and choose the things we want. (Like just wanting the good/easy situations and not the bad/challenging ones). It was a pretty difficult chapter to think about because it's never easy to love the unlovable and those who've hurt you.
Today, we had lunch with Gary and Linda, and then walked on the Greenway with the dogs. We haven't walked the dogs in months and it wore them out! It's the first pretty day we've had in awhile! Hopefully, it will continue!

Wintery Weather....again
The winter weather began on our way back from Augusta...we got caught in it a bit as we came towards Hickory. So, we stayed in the rest of the weekend, especially since the roads were very icy. I had a delay on Monday, but Jason had to go and shovel snow all day.
The rest of the week was okay, but Jason has worked hard! Friday, CFA closed the office but it ended up not doing as much as they thought. Jason got off around 12:30, which was nice for him.
We had life group at our house this week, about love not delighting in evil. My favorite part was a story of a prison warden's wife, who spent most of her time at the prison ministering to the criminals. Everyone told her not to be there, but she felt differently. She unexpectantly died in a car accident and when the prisioners found out, they all went to the front gate, crying. The warden didn't live far away, so the guards let them out of the prision so they could go and pay their respects to her. All of them returned later that day. What a great story!
Saturday, Jason helped our friend Ryan paint his old apartment while I hung out with his wife Nechole in their new apartment. Later we saw Gary, Linda and Lee at ate at O'Charleys.
Today, we enjoyed the sermon about what's obvious to some isn't obvious to others. He used an example of the Israelits and how they still complained in the desert even though God had done SO MANY things since they left Egypt to show He was there with them.
After our afternoon nap, we headed to the TNT superbowl party and then to Liz's at the end. It was a fun night!

First Visit with Isaiah!
Jason and I have been excited all week to see Chris, Lesley, and Isaiah on Thursday and Friday. Lesley had an interview in August, GA, so we met them there. They arrived later than they had hoped and missed the dinner they were suppose to go to at the school, but we got to spend more time with them!
He's so adorable and is very alert for a one month old! He moves his eyes alot and will follow voices! Thursday night he was very active and I got a cute video!
Here are some pictures! He's looking at Uncle J!
He smiled at me ALOT!
He liked when Jason held him! He cried when he gave him to mom!
Mom talking to him!
Dad held him for over an hour on Friday morning as he slept!

Brief rewind of the last two weeks!
The most interesting event of the last two weeks was yesterday, the Carolina Raptor Center released a bald eagle and a red tail hawk back into the wild near Lake Hickory. There were a bunch of people there (over 100). The red tail hawk one is hard to see, but he stayed on the ground for a few seconds before taking off!
Jason's been very busy with heating issues at the schools. Work has picked up for me and I had to go to two employee meetings this week at 6:00. Life group has been nice, one week about the connection of anger and rejection, and this week about the trash we let into our lives.
We're looking forward to seeing Chris, Lesley, and Isaiah this week when we meet them in Augusta, GA on Thursday since Lesley has an interview!

Happy Birthday Jason!
Jason had a rough week with ALOT of heating issues. He was very tired every day this week! So we looked forward to the weekend!
Friday, we had life group after 3 weeks of not meeting due to the holidays. The topic in the book was selfishness, which created a very good discussion! In so many ways, I don't realize how selfish I really am, especially when I look at Jesus' life. He welcomed people that interrupted his daily "plans" and loved the unlovable!
Saturday, we had family over to celebrate Jason's birthday! We played a bit of Wii and ate pizza! Sunday (his actual birthday), we went down to Hanes Mall with Dean and ate at the Olive Garden! We haven't eaten there in awhile and Jason got his normal selection: the five cheese baked ziti!
Jason only has one more year of the 20's before he joins me in the 30's! Hopefully, we'll have a good year!

Happy Anniversary and New Year!
Monday, mom came over for dinner at our house since dad wasn't feeling well. She enjoyed playing Wii pinball! We went out to eat with Liz on Tuesday at Ruby Tuesday and were going to see "The Blind Side" but the line was way too long! We rented "Four Christmases" instead.
Wednesday, I got some red roses at work! Jason and I ate at Kobe for our 3rd year anniversary, then went to Home Depot to get some new bathroom sink faucets, and Pet Smart (where we spent money on the animals!)
Thursday, went went over to the Mumfords to watch the Hurricanes game and ring in the New Year! Even though they lost, we had fun! The rest of the weekend, we hung around the house, mainly because it was freezing outside!
Mom and dad got to go to Memphis on Thursday to see the baby! Thanks Mike for their standby tickets! Here are some pictures!
