Talent

Ryan, myself, and our friend Brittany were given the tough task of judging the talent show.  We had to choose 3 winners in the following categories: K-5, 6-12, and Adult.  Most of the talents were entertaining and some were surprisingly amazing!  We chose a cute girl who sang for the K-5 group.  We had a tie between a 6th grader who played the piano and sang Someone like You and a Junior who did the Evolution of Dance.  Both were outstanding!  The winner of the Adult group was a woman who played classical piano.  We had a lot of fun, but it was also stressful.  There was a lot of pressure to make the right choice and not crush anyones dreams.  I think we made good choices...it has been a few days and no one has egged our house yet.  

A friend told me she had some aloe plants to give away so I jumped on the opportunity.  When I got there, tupperware container in hand, she handed me a huge plant!  It was a momma plant with ten pups. So I split up the plants and repotted them.  Don’t they look wonderful?  They are a great addition to the other plants in our house.  I can slowly see my green thumb coming back!   

Week one of p90x is complete.  It is really hard and I am so proud of us.  Here are a few photo recaps of our week. 

Let me preface by saying, our church can no longer afford a half-time Pastor.  So a couple of weeks ago our church had a visiting Pastor come and do a full service.  It was the first time Ryan and I have been to church in a while.  At then end of the service we always have announcements.  While they were talking about upcoming events they mentioned the Southeast Cluster Assembly on March 9th.  They suggested us girls (Brittany, Dulcey, and I) go to represent our church.  Dulcey’s boyfriend, Chris, will be in Wrangell visiting so she cannot go.  But Brittany and I decided it sounds like a great time.  We will be going to Sitka from the 8th-11th to represent Wrangell in the Lutheran gathering!  I am pretty excited.  That is the setting they portray in the movie The Proposal (even though the movie is shot on the East coast).  But since viewing that movie I’ve wanted to go visit and now I get to.

We have to fly to Ketchikan and Juneau before finally getting to Sitka.
