20 in February

1. Busy, busy-I haven't even been able to think about my blog since the beginning of February.
2. We have been in two missions conferences this month-one of which has taken us on for support! Yay! Another step closer to Norway!
3. Joseph has had a cold and now I think he has shared it with me-what a blessing he is to my life! lol!
4. Currently, we are with my grandparents in Kenosha, Wisconsin! I love my grandparents!
5. The missions conference in Georgia was awesome! They treated us so wonderfully-our van is loaded down with goodies! One of the goodies is a homemade quilt that is beautiful! Each missionary wife in the conference was given a quilt that was made by a lady in the church!
6. One more meeting in Gays, Illinois and then we get to go home to be in our church's missions conference.
7. This past Monday, Joseph and I were able to spend some time with my good friend Amber! I love being able to catch up with friends!
8. How would you say this, Le-A? Its a girls name...any ideas? Are you maybe thinking Leah? Because that is what I initially thought; but no its Ledasha...so funny! The pastor we were with in Georgia was telling us about this name of a little girl he knows in Pennsylvania!
9. I am really getting tired of snow and ice. We had to leave Elgin, Illinois in it and drive to Georgia through the night-it was only to be a 12 hour drive; but because of the horrible snow and ice it took us 17 hours.
10. This past Sunday I was able to teach a ladies Sunday School class...I taught the lesson that I will be teaching for ladies retreat at my home church in April.
11. I'm beginning to wonder if 20 in February was a good idea? I did it to help catch me up on everything...but I have a feeling that 12-20 are really going to cause me to think hard.
12. Why do I always have to think that I need to know everything that is going to take place? The whens, the wheres, the hows? Shouldn't it be enough that God knows all about it? Yes, it should; but I must admit there are days that it is easier said than done.
13. I have been so tired lately, could it be that I am still trying to catch up from going a whole night with no sleep last week? I go to bed at night and wake up still feeling tired. Then I get a burst of energy and then I am tired again.
14. What a blessing it was to have our oil changed, our van washed and vacuumed by the church men in Georgia! Our van looked great-then we had to drive through the snow again!
15. In March, we will be in Altus, Oklahoma for a missions conference which will be followed by a meeting in Oklahoma City.
16. While in Oklahoma City we will stay with my brother in his new apartment. I am curious as to how he is decorating it! I have a feeling it will say boy all over it!
17. This past month we were able to spend a few days with Joseph's parents, we had a nice visit with them! Checked out golf clubs for summer, played wii...good times!
18. Since being married, Joseph and I don't get to celebrate Valentine's Day on its actual given day-we are usually traveling or in a meeting. I am not complaining. So, Tuesday Joseph took me to Olive Garden for lunch...I love the breadsticks at Olive Garden. I appreciate my husband not forgetting me and doing something special for me.
19. We were also able to stop and see Joseph's cousin Holly for 5 minutes at college, she goes to Hyles Anderson in Crown Pointe, Indiana.
20. Okay, my blog is finished until who knows when and now its off to address all of our prayer letters!
