SB '07- Party till you puke!

you would think it was daytona beach and too many coronas around here. we had a great spring break but three went down with "pooooking" as brennan says.

we did an adventure a day and i am not sure if they had more fun or me. i love having spring break! ice cream shop, swimming, build-a-bear, cheeseburger in paradise, hiking, another snow shower!, train ride on the little engine that could--who has it better than the campbell kids? (oh, maybe the guy i work with who trumped me by taking his 4 kids 8 and under to the cayman islands--jerk!)

celebrating

80s music- i love my ipod and my 80s mix. i listened to ll cool j and prince today while i worked out. i love goin back to cali, i would die for you, raspberry beret and when doves cry. through in a little borderline and holiday by madonna and maybe some milli vanilli and i might actually enjoy a full work out.

pirate mania

those of you that remember the bob the builder phase with harrison and when it seemed superheros would never die--well they are at rest. pirate fever has invaded our lives. harrison and brennan are obsessed! brennan quickly corrects you if you confuse jack sparrow with will turner or heavens- davy jones. i am sure it is not good that my 6 year old prays to God for pirates of the caribbean 3 to hurry and come out right after BEFORE thanking Him for our family and all the blessings we have. brennan yells every time he comes into our room for everyone to get up on the ship (our bed) and out of the water (anything other than the bed) because there are sharks!

we are embarking on a 6th birthday party and harrison wants our deck converted to the black pearl ship. he keeps asking why we can't build onto the deck or playset so it will be multiple stories so he can be up in the top while his "mates" are on deck below. this request to the parents who don't even mow their own lawn or clean their own house. i am humored to think he has such faith in us to build a replica of some multi-million dollar sea craft.

pray we move into a new much more mellow phase like reading or something soon!

ministry

things have been busy. that is the good news and the bad. our church is really solidifying a great ministry, vision and we are seeing much opportunity in this city. michael and kurt have many meetings and much to be excited about. we may have a building given to us in a great location, the potential for funding from a denomination (even though we will remain non-denom) and there is college group meeting now that might want to merge into our core group in the coming weeks. we are having a community information meeting in early may that we are advertising for now. all great things and doors opening that we have prayed for.

as michael looks for work we are coming up short for teaching opportunities at the area colleges. that offered the best opportunity for a flexible schedule that still allow time for him to pastor alongside kurt and enough income to make it worth while. it still looks as though it will be quite some time until the church will be able to support more than one full-time pastor (kurt). we continue to pray for wisdom and discernment.

travel excitement

texas, florida and california all on the horizon- may, june and july respectively. thank goodness for cheap flights and free places to stay! i am super excited to get to the sunny states! we will keep you posted in those great spots and can't wait to re-connect!

BIG NEWS

bonus for those of you that actually read all the way through! sasha got up from the table on her birthday and threw her passy in the trash. she said she was a big girl. totally unprompted by us and all on her own!
